Canoeing the Mountains is a three-week journey through one of life's most difficult realities: what do you do when the world you expected disappears? Israel's exile felt like the end of everything they had known. Through Jeremiah 29, Daniel 1, and Isaiah 43, we discover that while their circumstances changed dramatically, God's presence, promises, and purposes never did. Alongside their story, we follow the Lewis and Clark expedition. Trained to navigate rivers, they expected a water route to the Pacific. Instead, they encountered the Rocky Mountains, forcing them to abandon familiar methods, learn new skills, and trust a new path forward. Faith often requires the same response. When God leads us into unexpected terrain, we cannot always rely on yesterday's strategies. We are invited to adapt without compromising our faith, embrace God's leading, and discover that even in unfamiliar places, He is already preparing the way before us.
