Kaleb Allen continues the wilderness series with a deep look at confusion and spiritual frustration. He explains why these moments are not a sign that something is broken, but often a sign that God is doing deeper work. Kaleb draws from the lives of Elijah, John the Baptist, Moses, and the writings of John of the Cross and C.S. Lewis to help men make sense of what they are going through.

What You’ll hear:
• What to do when life feels foggy, unclear, and hard to explain
• Why God sometimes withholds comfort to give us clarity
• How to recognize false expectations you have placed on God
• Why spiritual dryness is not always about sin
• What it means to trust God’s heart when you cannot trace His hand
• How rest, surrender, and time lead to renewed perspective

If you are feeling spiritually stuck, emotionally flat, or unsure what God is doing. The wilderness has purpose. You are not alone in it.
