Summary
In this episode, Kaleb continues his journey through the spiritual wilderness, exploring how we can encounter Jesus in the dry, desolate seasons of life. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical wisdom, Kaleb shares practical insights on recognizing God's presence when it feels like He's distant. He helps listeners navigate feelings of isolation, confusion, and spiritual drought, offering encouragement and hope for those in the wilderness of their souls.
This is part two of the six-week series, and Kaleb delves deeper into themes of surrender, trust, and finding peace amidst life's chaos. If you've ever felt like you're wandering without direction or struggling to hear God's voice, this episode is for you.
Reflection Questions:
- When was the last time you felt like you were in a spiritual wilderness? How did it affect your relationship with God?
- What specific areas of your life are you finding it difficult to trust God in right now?
- How do you typically respond when God feels distant or silent? What might change if you leaned into that silence instead of running from it?
- How can you intentionally seek Jesus in the quiet moments of your day, even when it feels like He’s far away?
- Think about a time when God met you in an unexpected way. How can that experience shape how you approach current struggles?
