I don't know about hand-holding, but an actively engaged God is most consistent with our scripture and teachings.

This couldn't be more incorrect. There is much discussed on CG which is non-doctrine, but this is plain false.

Why, because if God were involved, the outcome would've been different?

Or by spending 40 years in the Sinai or spending only 3 of your 33 living years (and doing who knows what the first 30 years) preaching to an unreceptive people that are going to kill you or spreading yourself too thin by spreading the Gospel to too many places in Asia Minor where you have little to no oversight and don't possess the logistical werewithal to keep the church from rapidly sliding into the crapper?
