About this listen
What if the wilderness isn't where God abandons you but where He matures you?
In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the biblical meaning of the wilderness, shifting our lens away from personal assumptions and toward God's perspective through Scripture. From David to John the Baptist to Jesus Himself, we explore how the wilderness consistently appears as a place of testing, refinement, intimacy, and preparation, not punishment.
We unpack why spiritual dryness feels so disorienting, how God removes "props" we've unknowingly leaned on, and what it means to trust Him without feelings, clarity, or reassurance. Through honest personal stories, we talk about resentment, apathy, self-reliance, and the slow work of learning to lean, rather than strive or settle.
If you've ever felt like God has gone silent, wondered what you did wrong, or tried to escape a season you don't understand, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a reframe:
the wilderness is not the end, it's an invitation.
