What do you do when faith feels dry, confusing, or emotionally barren—when God seems absent, or even uncomfortably near? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Noelle Forlini-Byrte, author of God in the Desert: A Spiritual Theology of Wilderness in the Old Testament and part-time lecturer at Samford University, about the wilderness as a spiritual landscape for real Christians living real lives. Noelle shares how this book was “twenty years in the making,” beginning with her first spiritual formation class and early encounters with the mystics—especially St. John of the Cross and the theme of God’s “dark night” and felt absence. Those questions followed her into doctoral work in the Old Testament, where narratives like Jacob wrestling at the Jabbok, the exile, and Israel’s wilderness wanderings became a rich theological map for suffering, disorientation, and divine encounter. James and Noelle explore why the church often defaults to two unhealthy extremes: shallow, pithy “application” divorced from biblical context—or scholarship so clinical that it leaves the soul malnourished. Noelle argues that liturgy and scholarship must belong together: rigorous exegesis should not be an escape from spiritual formation, and devotional practices should not ignore the actual meaning of the text. The goal is not information alone, but a scripture-shaped life where God excavates the soul. Along the way, they discuss difficult Old Testament passages without smoothing out their discomfort—especially the wilderness as a place of testing (Deuteronomy 8) and purgation (Hosea 2). Noelle draws on the Christian mystical tradition to describe purgation as the stripping away of “self-made props,” the idolatries and illusions that quietly sustain us until wilderness exposes what we truly trust. One of the most resonant themes is acedia—the “noonday demon” from the desert tradition: spiritual weariness, malaise, and the temptation to give up when faith becomes costly and daily life grinds us down. James connects acedia to midlife, family pressures, and the subtle exhaustion that comes not from one tragedy, but from “death by a thousand cuts.” Noelle suggests that the very presence of these questions can be a sign of a deeper, weathered faith—because wilderness presupposes we are actually walking with God. The conversation closes with a challenge for the church today: humility, honest questions, and a willingness to let Scripture form us rather than simply confirm us. Faithful discipleship requires more than confidence—it requires wakefulness and the courage to bring our real lives before God.

1st Sunday of LentThe three temptations Christ experienced in the desert by Satan are of similar origin we as human beings face on a daily basis: comfort, spiritual pride, and power. Temptations do not imply sin as the struggle is part of growing in faith. Remember we are all saints in training. Jesus having passed the test in the desert teaches all people that there is hope in the midst of our trials and temptations. Jesus I trust in You.Scripture Readings for February 22, 2026Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7Psalm 51:3-6, 12-13, 17Romans 5:12-19 Matthew 4:1-11

Time and again, we've seen that God moves through ordinary acts of obedience; we simply have to join him in the work he's already doing. In this week's message from Acts 8, Pastor John takes us through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch. What set Philip apart as someone used by God? He wasn't an apostle, after all. He wasn't flashy or even particularly impressive. But he was a faithful servant, and his obedience to God was immediate. Could the same be said of you?

1st Sunday of Lent, Year A 2026 The Tempation in the Desert 

A full recap of the most significant week in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. The FBI released doorbell footage of the masked suspect — and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains what it actually reveals about the person's methodology, equipment, and planning. A delivery driver was detained, questioned for hours, and released. A glove was recovered a mile and a half from the home. Investigators requested footage from three weeks before the kidnapping, suggesting the home may have been surveilled in advance. Meanwhile, eighteen thousand tips have come in, no official press briefing has been held in over a week, and the gap between what's happening on the ground and what's being said publicly keeps widening. Coffindaffer breaks down where this investigation stands after twelve days — and what the silence is telling us.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBIVideo #FBIManhunt #NestCamera #CatalinaFoothills #TrueCrime #MissingPerson #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Follow the Spirit's Lead into the Desert 2-22-26 Fr. Filipski

In this message, Richie Reeder invites the church into a sober but hopeful look at sin—not just as bad behavior to stop, but as an opportunity for Spirit-empowered transformation into Christlikeness. Drawing from Genesis 4, the image of sin "crouching at your door," and the wisdom of the desert fathers and mothers (especially John Cassian's eight vices), he challenges listeners to identify where they are most vulnerable and to practice small, embodied acts of resistance. Throughout, Richie emphasizes God's compassion and kindness in Christ, calling the congregation to allow the Holy Spirit to search their hearts and deepen their hunger for holiness.

Congratulations, you've completed the Egypt & Exodus period and you've arrived at the Desert Wanderings ! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to provide us the context for the book of Numbers and the book of Deuteronomy. They discuss how this period is marked by Israel's rebellion against God as they wander in the desert for forty years striving to regain their narrative and identity.

It's time for a reset to the entire purpose of fasting. John shares how he spent years fasting the wrong way, treating it like self-mortification for the sake of self-control. Until a spiritual director challenged him: fasting isn't mainly about proving you can suffer. It's about making room for loving union with Christ. Fr. Ken explains why the Church gives a minimal fasting prescription. It's meant to be doable for everyone, including children, the elderly, and those with health issues. But if you're able-bodied and serious about Lent, the question becomes: what is Christ actually inviting you to do?

In this message, Terry Timm reflects on Jesus' temptations in the wilderness as a paradigm for our own Lenten journey, highlighting the temptations to be relevant, spectacular, and powerful. Drawing on Henri Nouwen and the desert mothers and fathers, he invites listeners to practices of contemplative prayer, confession, restraint in speech, and deep rooting in God's redemptive story as ways to resist the "wreckage of the world." Timm concludes by reminding us that we enter the wilderness of Lent not to become beloved but because we already are "deeply loved dust," blessed and accompanied by God on the journey.

There have been times in my life when I've lost the fire for God. That same hunger I once had to pray felt nonexistent. Reading the scriptures no longer clicked for me, and it felt like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube in my mind. Everything I knew about building my relationship with God just felt dry.You too might have felt a similar experience or are going through that right now. I want to share with you the most insightful things the Lord has taught me through these dry seasons, the importance they play in your walk with the Lord, and how to get that fire back.Why Do Dry Seasons Happen?Dry seasons aren't usually a "lightning bolt" event; they are often a slow leak.In my life, the dryness came when I got so caught up in wanting to create and help other people that I forgot to help myself. I was so busy trying to make an impact in the Kingdom that I neglected the King.I neglected my Helper (the Holy Spirit), and my cup ran dry.If we aren't continually filled, we have nothing to give.Here are the three most common "leaks":Priorities & Distraction: Like my story, work—or even "ministry"—can become an idol. When our schedule crowds out our intimacy, we lose our source.Unaddressed Sin: Scripture tells us in Isaiah 59:2 that sin creates a barrier. It's not that God leaves us, but sin muffles our ability to hear Him, making the season feel silent.Life Transitions: Sometimes, a sudden change—a move, a loss, a high-stress season—disrupts our rhythm. We are so busy adjusting to the "new" that we stop anchoring in the Eternal.But dryness isn't always the result of failure. Sometimes it is formation.Even Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1). The desert wasn't punishment—it was preparation.Silence does not equal absence.Stillness does not equal abandonment.Read the rest here: https://litwithprayer.substack.com/p/the-desert-and-the-fire-navigating

You see over 5000 marketing messages every day. In 2025, hundreds of billions of emails were sent every day, notifications never stop, and research shows the average person switches attention every 47 seconds. We are conditioned to live and stay teathered to noise. But all of this keeps us separated from God. In addition, Scripture warns that men will render account for every careless word they speak (Matthew 12:36), and God Himself speaks not in the earthquake or the fire, but in the whisper. In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt expose how noise is not neutral; it weakens men, fragments our attention, and keeps us from a purposeful life. Silence is not passivity. It is your strategic power. It is an interior dominion. It is the hidden strength of St. Joseph, the composure of Christ before Pilate, and the battleground where identity and mission are clarified. John and Devin break down silence within ourselves, silence before others, and silence before God, why most men resist it, and why the man who refuses silence forfeits confidence, peace under pressure, and grace.

This Ash Wednesday, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen go straight to the heart of Lent's first command: repent and believe. We're focusing on two concrete actions that we avoid until we're desperate: a real examination of conscience and a clean, simple confession. Not scrupulosity. Not vague generalities. An honest inventory of blind spots, weak spots, compromises, and missed opportunities for virtue.

Suffering is where transformation begins! What does that have to do with Lent? Many of us approach Lent thinking about what we have to give up. But what if Lent isn't mainly about loss… but about what God wants to build within us? In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning of penance, suffering, and the desert season of Lent. Why does the Church begin with ashes and words about death? How does penance actually train the heart? And why does every sacrifice ultimately point toward resurrection? Journal Questions: Where in my life right now feels like a desert, and how might God be inviting me to encounter Him there rather than escape it? What comfort, habit, or attachment might God be asking me to surrender so He can build something deeper in me? If resurrection always follows the cross, what “new life” might God be preparing in me through this season?

In this episode, we reflect on Lent as a Holy Spirit led journey through the desert to bring us into a deeper union with God. We talk about the resistance many of us feel to fasting, why Lent is not a self-improvement project, and the importance of discerning our Lenten practices. We also discuss how, through Lent, our true identity as beloved daughters is revealed, tested, and healed. Before Lent begins on Wednesday, we invite you to notice where your heart may feel numb, distracted, or defensive, and ask the Holy Spirit what He desires to restore. Our Lenten book study "The Way of Trust and Love" will begin next week! We look forward to journeying with you.   Heather's One Thing - Her Lenten Playlist "Songs in the Desert" Sister Miriam's One Thing - You're Gonna Be OK by Jen Johnson and Bethel Music Michelle's One Thing - Nazareth Organics   Announcement: Our 2026 Lenten book study will be "The Way of Trust and Love" by Fr. Jacques Philippe. Scepter Publishers has offered 15% off with the code ABIDE15. They also offer an ebook version as well. We will announce more information about the study in the coming weeks!   Journal Questions: Where is the Holy Spirit inviting me this Lent? In the past, how have I turned to self-reliance throughout Lent? Where is my heart not rooted in my true identity? Is there something in the way of me drawing close to the Lord? Where am I performing instead of depending? Where am I controlling instead of trusting? Where am I grasping for love instead of securely attached? Where am I prideful instead of obedient?   Discussion Questions: Where do you need springtime in your personal life? How will you respond to your own shortcomings and self-reliance this Lent? How does the Lord want to bring you deeper into your identity? How is the Lord inviting you to live into your Word of the Year deeper this Lent?   Quote to Ponder: "Lent is a time of going very deeply into ourselves… What is it that stands between us and God? Between us and our brothers and sisters? Between us and life, the life of the Spirit? Whatever it is, let us relentlessly tear it out, without a moment's hesitation." (Catherine Doherty)   Scripture for Lectio: "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tested by the devil." (Luke 4:1-2)   Sponsor - COR Expeditions: Are you experiencing the Lord's invitation to draw closer to Him? We encourage you to consider a life-changing course with COR Expeditions this summer. COR Expeditions exists to transform the hearts of Catholics of all ages. COR - short for Catholic Outdoor Renewal and meaning "heart" in Latin - offers an invitation not often heard in our modern world: step away from technology, noise, and constant distraction, and step forward with the Lord into the wilderness, just as so many prophets and saints have done before us. By choosing a course with COR, you are saying yes to being physically, emotionally, and spiritually challenged - in the best possible ways. Our culture often tells women to seek comfort, avoid risk, and doubt their own strength. At the same time, the voice of the enemy quietly whispers that we are not enough. COR offers something radically different: a place of freedom, encouragement, and truth. In the wilderness, you are reminded of your identity as a beloved daughter of God, created with courage, resilience, and deep capacity for joy. COR courses take place in some of the most breathtaking locations of the Rocky Mountain West. Participants carry backpacks, hike miles into the backcountry, and live simply for the duration of the course. While this may sound intimidating at first, you are never on the journey alone. Our experienced instructors provide guidance, training, and support every step of the way. You do not need to be an elite athlete or an experienced backpacker—only willing to show up, try, and trust the Lord to meet you where you are. In the silence of the mountains, away from screens and schedules, many women encounter God in a new and personal way. The physical challenge opens space for prayer. The simplicity brings clarity. The shared experience fosters deep community. What remains is peace, confidence, and a renewed ability to hear the Lord's voice. If you're longing for deeper faith, meaningful challenge, and an experience that will stay with you long after summer ends, COR Expeditions may be the invitation your heart has been waiting for.

On a quiet November night in 2010, state ranger Brody Young began what seemed like a routine patrol near Moab, Utah. Surrounded by red rock canyons and remote desert trails, nothing suggested the night would turn into a fight for survival. At the Poison Spider Mesa trailhead, Brody encountered a man sleeping in a vehicle. Moments later, he was ambushed and shot multiple times — left alone in the darkness, bleeding out, and miles from help. With catastrophic injuries and no backup in sight, Brody faced an impossible choice: give up or fight to live.Brody Young is the author of Nine Miracles.------------------------------------- If you're a fan of true crime but crave a dose of inspiration instead of tales of darkness, The Miracle Files is your perfect alternative. With the same storytelling intensity as true crime podcasts, The Miracle Files delves into the details of each miraculous story, exploring the people and circumstances that turned these moments into something unforgettable. Whether you believe in divine intervention or human perseverance, this podcast will leave you feeling uplifted and amazed.Website: www.themiraclefiles.comPodcast/RSS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-miracle-files/id1714203488Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_miracle_files_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=100093613416005&mibextid=LQQJ4dTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.miracle.files?_t=8rB5ooQd482&_r=1

A dive bar in Philly just raised its age limit to 25 after college kids rolled in with fake IDs so advanced they passed scanners… including one absolute legend who used Benjamin Franklin as his photo and listed his address as the Liberty Bell. This is why we can't have nice things. On today's funny show, the Rizz and the gang relive their own fake ID disasters (yes, Sri Lankan licenses were involved), and debate whether that kid is a criminal mastermind or the future mayor of Philadelphia.Then we shift into full-blown pop culture chaos: Miley Cyrus is already an early favorite for the next Super Bowl halftime show in LA, but would Jelly Roll, Taylor Swift, or Post Malone completely break the internet? We argue. Loudly. As usual.And because this daily comedy chaos refuses to stay in one lane, we also break down:A new “forensic report” trying to reopen the Kurt Cobain case (TikTok detectives… please sit down)Gene Simmons vs. hip-hop in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (again
