In this episode of Soul Talk, Pastor Rick is joined by Clayton to talk about spiritual dryness—those seasons when prayer feels empty, Scripture seems flat, and God feels distant. Drawing from Psalm 22, the words of Jesus, and insights from voices like Tim Keller and St. John of the Cross, they remind listeners that dry seasons are not signs of failure but often part of God’s forming work. Together they explore how mature faith grows beyond feelings, how God shapes the soul in hidden ways, and what practical steps—prayer, Scripture, perseverance, and simply showing up—can sustain us until renewal comes.
