Returning From The Wilderness (Part 1)


Listen Later

Ever walked back into a sanctuary and felt the air change? We open up about returning from a God-led wilderness to pews that don’t quite know what to do with you. Not every wilderness is a dry spell you manage within a program; sometimes God pulls you out to unlearn performance, meet Him without noise, and come back carrying a message that won’t fit the old molds.

We unpack why the wilderness is biblical and varied—think Moses, Elijah, John, and Jesus—and why modern church culture can struggle to recognize its fruit. From rumors and silence to sincere friends quoting Hebrews 10:25, we press into the difference between loyalty to a building and loyalty to the King. We talk about prophetic pressure, the temptation to bow to institutions for acceptance, and the subtle pride that can grow when every word you hear is only confirmation. The antidote is obedience: go where you’re sent, even if it stings, and let your life witness without argument.

These last years brought sharp wake-up calls: shutdowns that revealed allegiances, regional revival that rekindled hunger, and a needed reminder that judgment begins in the house of God. Painful? Yes. Gracious? Absolutely. We explore how God uses returning wilderness voices as a measure of mercy to invite congregations back to relationship with Jesus and Kingdom-first thinking. Expect practical steps for reentry: settle your testimony, refuse offense, serve without striving, and seek fellowship that loves Christ more than comfort. If you’ve been misunderstood, sidelined, or sent into a “hostile” room with a holy assignment, this conversation will steady your feet and soften your heart.
