“When God Feels Distant: What to Do in the Dry Season”

in today’s episode, I want to talk about something we will all face eventually in our walk with God: when He feels far away. You pray, but it feels like your words bounce off the ceiling. You read the Bible, but nothing moves you. You go to church, but you feel numb. If that’s where you are right now—or if you’ve ever been there—this episode is for you.

The Purpose of Delay : Why You're Not There Yet

Episode 2: The Purpose of Delay – Why You’re Not There Yet (Faith in the Fire – Lessons from the Wilderness) “You prayed. You believed. You took the step. And now… nothing. Doors aren’t opening. Answers aren’t coming. You feel stuck. Forgotten. Behind schedule. Have you ever asked: God, why am I not there yet?” Delays in life are some of the most frustrating and faith-testing experiences we can walk through. They make us question our direction… our purpose… even our worth. But what if the delay isn’t a mistake? What if you’re not being punished… but prepared? What if the waiting is where God is working the most? Theme Scripture: “Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.” – Habakkuk 2:3 In today’s episode, we’re exploring: Why God allows delays What He’s doing in the waiting And how to stay faithful when it feels like nothing is moving So if you’re tired of being “almost there”… If your promise feels postponed… This episode is for you. Because delay is not denial — and there is purpose in the pause.
