In this episode, I walk through Isaiah 32 — a chapter my Bible titles “Desolation is Foretold.” Desolation means alone… loneliness. But loneliness does not have to be our final outcome.

Isaiah 32 reveals a prophetic pattern: desolation, devastation — and then divine reversal. Everything changes at one word: until.

“Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high…”

I trace this pouring throughout Scripture — in Acts, where the Holy Spirit is poured out; in Matthew 25, where the virgins arise at the midnight cry; and in 2 Kings 4, where the widow pours the oil. Scripture confirms Scripture. The pouring turns everything around.

I talk about complacency — what it is, what it costs, and how easy it is to drift into it when marriage feels delayed. I share honestly about moments in my own journey when I felt so close to marriage, but it was almost like I missed it — like the door had been shut.

This is the cost of spiritual complacency.

But there is a shift.

When the Spirit is poured out, the rivers within begin to flow. And when the rivers flow, devastation turns. The wilderness ends.

Isaiah 32 doesn’t end in desolation — it ends in peaceable homes, secure dwellings, and covenant stability.

No more slumber.
No more complacency.
It’s time to arise.
