___________________________________________


No one enjoys a wilderness season—but what if it’s exactly where God wants you? 

John and Lisa dive into a question many of us have asked: Why does God lead His people through seasons of testing? We'll take a look at what we can learn from Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness. We'll give you some tools for how to navigate the hardest seasons of life with faith. 

If you feel like you’re in a dry or difficult place, there is another side to it. This conversation will help you recognize God’s purpose in the process and how He is preparing you for something more!
