The Road Before You

Faith, Wisdom, and Purpose as Life Changes

Life rarely unfolds as planned. Roles change, seasons shift, certainty fades, and the familiar gives way to something new. In the midst of these changes, many people find themselves asking quiet but urgent questions: Who am I now? Where is God in this season? How do I walk forward without losing my way?

The Road Before You: Faith, Wisdom, and Purpose as Life Changes is a reflective Bible study for anyone navigating transition—by choice or by circumstance. Drawing from Scripture, pastoral experience, prison ministry, hospice care, and lived faith, Geoffrey Schmitt (writing as Willingheart) invites readers to walk attentively through life’s in-between spaces.

Rather than offering quick answers or rigid formulas, this study explores themes of becoming, calling, trust, wisdom shaped by time, companionship, strength redefined, discernment without fear, generous presence, and faithful endurance. Each chapter includes Scripture, reflection, prayer, and practices designed for both individual and group use.

At the heart of the study is a simple, grounding prayer:

Here I am, as I am —

where I am, when I am.

This prayer becomes a way of living—an offering of presence and trust in a God who meets us not at some future destination, but on the road itself.

Written with honesty, warmth, and pastoral depth, The Road Before You is for readers who sense that life is changing and want to walk forward with faith, wisdom, and hope—one faithful step at a time.
