In this episode, Tom Clairmont explores what to do when life feels off-course. Through personal reflection, biblical insights, and a message of faith, Tom challenges listeners to shift their focus from what’s missing to what God is doing in the present. He reminds us that faith isn’t about waiting for perfect conditions—it’s about trusting God and taking small steps forward, even when the way ahead isn’t clear.
