Thriving in the Wilderness: How God Makes a Way in Dry Seasons

Season 5 is here! In this solo kickoff, Brandi gets honest about walking through a wilderness season and unpacks what Scripture says about thriving when life feels dry, quiet, and barren. From Israel’s wanderings to Jesus’ 40 days, you’ll learn why the wilderness is preparation, not punishment. We’ll break down Isaiah 43:19 into three truths, name what the desert looks like in real life, and get practical: guarding your words, finding manna, leaning into community, and looking for the “streams in the wasteland.” If you’re tired of asking “Why me?” and ready to ask “Lord, what are You forming in me?”... this one’s for you.
