Problem: sermon routes are ugly and brittle

You need a line from Gilgal to Gibeon. In PowerPoint you draw a curve that doesn’t follow the pass. In Google Earth you record a tour that isn’t in your notes.

Agitate: when the path is wrong, the argument wobbles

Campaign sermons live on sequence. Wrong arrow direction, path through a mountain, or step 3 before step 2 — the room feels it. Editing means deleting shapes and redrawing.

Clunky routes train people to ignore the map. Precise, stepped routes make geography preach.

Solution: routes as first-class journey tools
