Podcasts about Spiritual dryness

Isaac stands in a famine on the very land God commanded him to stay on, rich in everything but water, tempted to look south to Egypt where the ground looks green. Genesis 26 cuts off both escapes: dryness is not proof of disobedience, and refreshing is not in the next place. God says stay and dig, and what Isaac finds is his father's old well, filled in with sand by an enemy. That is the answer for anyone who has come to church for years without feeling God move and assumes the answer must be something new. The water never left; the well got stopped up, and the digging is repentance. And the grace is that the enemy filled the wells, not God. He kept the gospel there for you, and the Spirit is willing to give it back today.

Father Bobby Blood joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Keeping the Faith in Dry Seasons What is Spiritual Dryness (7:59) Importance of routines in our spiritual life Why would God let us go through dry times in our life? (12:16) Elias - If I feel like I am doing well in prayer life, how do I best prepare for when the dry season comes? Juan - I am enduring a heavy cross, and how to carry it. (17:49) Break 1 (19:15) Wade - A few months after Lent I lose my spiritual drive. Why is this a consistency every year? What can I do to alleviate this? (24:45) How are the Sacraments important or times of Dryness? What do you do when you aren’t getting anything out Mass? (30:59) Email from Dylan – I have been dealing with dryness for years now and I don’t know what to do. Email from Rose – How do you deal with the accusing voice of the Devil? (34:44) Teresa - I get very melancholic for no reason, accusing myself of sloth, and I am wondering if it is because God is trying to prepare me for a blessing? (37:40) Break 2 Email from Adrian – How does dryness relate to how we perceive God? (41:36) Maria - Spiritual Dryness: There are moments, I say, 'is there all there is to it?' What will happen? (44:03) Bonnie - Shame, regarding your life situation and shame as opposed to guilt and not feeling close to God b/c of shame. (47:54) Gianna - One thing that could help refresh the faith is something new, something different

Today's Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 **Today's devotional is in response to listener requests.**What do you do when you've prayed for something to change—and it still hasn't? In today's episode, Dr. Alison reflects on one of the most uncomfortable passages in the New Testament: Paul's thorn in the flesh. Paul pleads with God three times for it to be removed, and God does not remove it. Instead, God gives him a promise: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” We explore: *Why unresolved pain can feel so hard to carry*What Paul's thorn teaches us about weakness and grace*The difference between acceptance and resignation*How fighting what cannot be changed can compound suffering*What it means for Christ's power to “rest” on us in weakness Go Deeper: Episode 208: Spiritual Dryness, Burnout, and the Desert Seasons of Faith with Tish Harrison Warren Read I Shouldn't Feel This Way to learn more about naming what's hard and discerning whether to change it, leave it, or suffer wisely Connect with Dr. Alison on Instagram: @dralisoncook Join 80,000+ Soul Menders in Dr. Alison's free email community for ongoing reflection and support.

 Many people today are constantly busy yet still feel spiritually drained and emotionally exhausted. In this episode, Busy, Tired, and Spiritually Empty, we talk about burnout, spiritual fatigue, and how to find true rest in Christ instead of trying to survive on empty strength. 

In this episode, I talk with Kyle Strobel about what's actually happening when God feels distant. Most of us start with passion - prayer comes easy, Scripture comes alive - and then a season arrives where the lights go out and we assume we've failed or been abandoned. Kyle offers a different reading than abandonment: the dryness isn't punishment or absence, but the desert where God weans us off the feeling and teaches us to abide. We get into the moralistic temptation that follows - how we turn disciplines, service, and even devotion into ways of managing God rather than meeting him - and why we have to relearn to live by faith and not by sight.Kyle Strobel is the director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, who writes and teaches in the area of spiritual formation. He is the author of many books, most recently the co-author of the book, When God Seems Distant: Surprising Ways God Deepens Our Faith and Draws Us Near (with John Coe). Kyle regularly speaks at conferences, church trainings, and serves on the preaching team at Redeemer Church.

Have you ever felt like God was silent, distant, or absent? In this powerful conversation, Kyle Strobel shares how seasons of spiritual dryness can become some of the most transformative moments in a believer's life. Discover why faith isn't built on emotional highs and how God often does His deepest work in the desert. If you're struggling with doubt, discouragement, or spiritual fatigue, this episode offers biblical hope and practical encouragement.About the GuestKyle Strobel is the Director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation and Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology at Talbot School of Theology. He is a theologian, author, speaker, and co-author of When God Seems Distant and Where Prayer Becomes Real. His work focuses on spiritual formation, prayer, and helping Christians experience genuine transformation in Christ. Reasons to ListenHope for Dry Seasons Discover why spiritual dryness is not necessarily a sign that something is wrong, but may actually be evidence that God is deepening your faith and transforming your heart. Practical Spiritual Formation Learn practical ways to continue praying, reading Scripture, and walking with Jesus when emotions and motivation disappear. Biblical Perspective Gain a deeper understanding of the Psalms, suffering, weakness, and God's surprising work in seasons that feel spiritually barren. Big TakeawaysGod Works in Deserts Seasons of spiritual dryness are often places where God exposes deeper issues of the heart and teaches us to trust Him by faith rather than feelings. Feelings Aren't Faith God's presence is not measured by emotional experiences. Mature faith learns to trust God's promises even when He feels distant. Weakness Reveals Need Spiritual growth happens when we recognize how much we need God's forgiveness, grace, and transforming work. The Psalms Give Language Honest prayers found in the Psalms help believers bring their confusion, disappointment, and struggles directly to God. Transformation Over Information Knowledge alone cannot produce Christlike character. Spiritual formation requires surrender, humility, and dependence on Jesus. Missional ChallengesPray the Psalms Daily Spend the next seven days praying one Psalm each day, allowing Scripture to shape your honest conversations with God.

Have you ever felt spiritually dry, like you are still showing up, still serving, and still going through the motions, but your heart feels empty? In Philippians 1:9–11, the apostle Paul gives us a prayer that helps us put down deeper roots when life feels discouraging and our souls feel weary. Together we will discover how God grows love that discerns what is best, produces fruit that only Christ can create, and reorients our hearts toward His glory. We will explore why spiritual dryness is not overcome by trying harder, but by drawing closer to Jesus through prayer. This message is an invitation to move beyond surviving spiritually and begin flourishing again in Christ. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series, “How to Pray,” and learn how God refreshes dry hearts.Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for Sunday's service.Scripture: Philippians 1:9-11 ESV

In this episode, Bobby Bosler speaks honestly about a morning when he felt spiritually dry, empty, and numb even while preparing to preach and serve the Lord. Rather than pretending that surrendered Christians never experience seasons of silence, he reminds young people that even faithful believers can feel worn out, thirsty, and distant from God. Through prayer, worship, and Psalm 42, Bobby explains how the Lord began to turn that emptiness into spiritual refreshment. The episode encourages listeners not to panic when they feel dry, but to seek God, worship Him, and trust His promises even when the feelings do not immediately change. Topics Discussed Serving God while still feeling empty The danger of assuming spiritual people never experience dryness Why silence and numbness do not mean God has left you Depending on God's promises when feelings do not change The connection between spiritual thirst and Psalm 42 Worshiping God in the middle of dryness Seeking God honestly instead of hiding discouragement How God can use spiritual thirst to draw your heart back to Himself Key Takeaways You can be surrendered to God and still have moments where your soul feels dry. Spiritual numbness should not drive you to discouragement, but to deeper dependence on God. God's promises are still true even when your feelings do not immediately confirm them. The answer to spiritual thirst is not pretending, performing, or quitting; it is going to the Lord. Worship can turn your attention away from your emptiness and back to God's worthiness. Psalm 42 reminds us that thirsting for God is not unusual, but it must lead us to seek the living God. Don't stay in the silence. Seek His face, praise Him, and let Him meet the need of your soul.

What if the dry, weary place you're in isn't something to escape—but a place where God is working? So many of us know that quiet middle space: you're not in crisis, but you're not exactly flourishing either. You're tired, spiritually dry, disconnected, or simply going through the motions. It's not dramatic enough to call a breakdown, but something in you knows you're weary. In this episode, Dr. Alison and author/priest Tish Harrison Warren explore what grows in these weary places—and why seasons of spiritual dryness, burnout, and languishing aren't signs that something is wrong with you. They may be part of how God forms you. Together, they talk about aridity, resilience, stability, and what it means to stay present to the life you actually have instead of constantly looking for a way out. You'll discover: Why spiritual dryness doesn't mean you're failing The difference between depression, burnout, and languishing What the desert fathers and mothers can teach us about resilience Why “staying in your cell” can become a path of formation How ordinary repair, routines, and relationships shape us over time What it means to let where you are do its work How hope changes the way we endure hard seasons This conversation offers a counter-cultural invitation: you don't have to rush out of the weary place. There may be something growing there. More Resources:

Never Abandoned: God With Us and In Us | John 14:8-21Ever feel spiritually orphaned? Like you're walking through life alone, wondering where God actually is?Tim Anderson tackles Philip's simple but profound request: "Lord, show us the Father." What Jesus says next changes everything about how we understand God's presence in our lives.Drawing from his own experience from losing both parents, Tim unpacks how Jesus promises we will never be abandoned. From Moses longing to see God's glory to the fulfillment of Ezekiel and Jeremiah's prophecies, we see God's plan unfold, not a distant deity, but a deeply personal Father who sent His Spirit to live in us.It's the promise that sustained martyrs like St. Florian facing the flames and Thomas Cranmer under persecution. It's the same promise that carries us through hospital rooms, dark nights on the beach, and seasons when we feel spiritually dry.If you've ever questioned whether God is really there, or struggled to feel His presence in hard seasons: you're not alone. The Spirit lives in you. And because Jesus lives, you also live.Series: Revealing Jesus (John 13-17) Speaker: Tim Anderson Scripture: John 14:8-21

This is a special episode of 'Feeding Fathers' recorded at the SEEK26 Catholic conference in Columbus, Ohio in front of a live audience, and it's a really honest one. We got to talk about something a lot of people experience but don't always know how to put into words: spiritual dryness and feeling far from God. We share real stories about doubt, discouragement, and what it actually looks like to keep showing up when your faith feels hard or empty. We talk about the role of community, why daily prayer still matters even when it feels pointless, and how to keep going through seasons of desolation. If you've ever felt stuck, tired, or disconnected in your spiritual life, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Christopher Somo, Fr.

In this profound and hope-filled Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the Christmas series with an honest, Scripture-saturated exploration of the third great gift Jesus brings: joy. Turning to the familiar yet astonishing encounter in Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Karl places us in the world of a young, powerless Mary—living in obscurity, poverty, and spiritual dryness under Roman oppression—when an angel suddenly declares her “highly favored” and announces she will bear the Son of God as a virgin.With pastoral clarity and compassion, Pastor Karl redefines biblical joy not as a forced smile, fleeting happiness, or denial of pain, but as a deep, settled confidence and calm cheerfulness in God—even when circumstances feel devastating. Mary's potentially ruinous situation (public shame, rejection, and lifelong stigma) becomes the backdrop for a joy that is rooted not in perfect conditions but in surrender to a perfect Savior. Joy, he shows, is not situational; it flows from trusting God's greater reality, His unchanging character, and His presence when clarity is absent.Drawing from Mary's radical response—“Let it be to me according to your word”—Pastor Karl tenderly calls every listener to the same doorway of lasting joy: radical surrender. Whether facing disappointment, health struggles, dashed dreams, or seasons of grief, joy grows when we release control, timelines, and the need to understand, and instead say “Yes, Lord” to whatever He has spoken. This is essential listening for anyone longing to move beyond seasonal happiness into the quiet, resilient cheerfulness that only Christ, born in a manger and risen from an empty tomb, can give.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Do you ever feel like your prayer is pointless? You show up, but you feel nothing, "know" nothing, and it seems like you're just talking to the void. This experience of spiritual dryness is one of the most common and difficult challenges in the spiritual life, and it's the number one reason many people stop praying altogether. In this episode, we explore the practical and profound antidote to this dryness: faith and hope. We dive into John Henry Newman's powerful distinction between "notional assent" (simply knowing and explaining facts about God) and "real assent" (letting those truths radically change how you live). This shift is the key to understanding what to do when your prayer feels empty. We discuss how this concept, combined with St. Teresa of Avila's "determined determination," responds to dryness. It's not a sign of failure or God's absence; it's a critical training ground to build a faith that isn't dependent on feelings. In this episode, you will learn: The crucial difference between "notional assent" and "real assent" and how it impacts your prayer.Why looking for God in your feelings or natural understanding is like trying to "force God into something that would make him not God."How to understand dryness as the training ground St.John of the Cross calls "naked faith."Practical ways to apply "determined determination" and use hope as the fuel to persevere, even when prayer feels pointless.

 We've heard the saying you are in the wilderness, or a dry place spiritually, but could there be more?

But why does this happen? What causes us to enter these periods of spiritual dryness? Sometimes, it might be of our own doing. Other times, it is that something has happened to us, yet other times, it's just part of living in a fallen world. If, as Christians, we find ourselves experiencing these kinds of feelings, where things seem dark and lonely, where discouragement seems to be raining down on us, how do we climb out of it? Where do we go, and what do we do? How do we fix our troubled hearts? Join us to hear what Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Philpot share as they guide us to think and act biblically in all these ways when we experience perplexity in our souls.Dr. Caldwell shares that we have all faced these things, and if we haven't we will. What makes some of these times especially difficult is we have no rhyme or reason for them. When a believer experiences spiritual dryness and can point to sin they're allowing in their life, the answer is they need to repent. The Bible says to repent and turn from sin, that times of refreshing will come from the Lord. But what if you're unaware of any sin on your part, any sin you're not confessing, and yet a dryness has settled in?Dr. Caldwell reminds us that we're not encouraged to deal with what we can't see and don't know. We're called to deal with what we can see and what we do know. Too often, we can get caught up in spending too much time trying to figure out why there's this apathy instead of just dealing with the fact that it exists. Christians live by faith, not by sight or feelings. Feelings are fickle and totally untrustworthy. Our responsibility is to obey the Lord, step by step, moment by moment, day by day, no matter how we feel. Sometimes, our physical condition can weigh in on the drynes...

Dr. Richard Caldwell discusses the causes and remedies for spiritual dryness and apathy in the Christian life. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith, engaging in prayer, Bible study, and fellowship, and relying on God's promises. Using personal experiences and biblical examples, Dr. Caldwell provides guidance on how to navigate and overcome these challenging periods.

Spiritual Dryness in the Church II

Spiritual Dryness In the Church

What can awaken fresh longing within us to know and enjoy God? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper walks through key Scriptures to help us overcome our spiritual dryness.

Have you ever felt spiritually dry. Like you are crying out to God and are hearing nothing. LIke you don't really feel anything at all. You are doing all teh right things by going to church or having your regular Jesus time but nothing seems to work. You are losing passion for the things of God because you just feel so dry and stagnant? Well today we are going to talk about a few ways to overcome that!  I'll be giving you some ideas to help you with some scriptures to encourage so that you can reignite your passion for Jesus and the plans that He has for you friend!  If you are ready for that, let's jump in!Quote on the google- Passionate people have an ever-increasing desire to obey Scripture. They want to obey not because it's a command but because they love Jesus. They love his commands and want to honor him.How to keep your passion for Jesus?Change your thinking- fuel your spiritual body as you would your physical body. Fall in love with Him- this take time and intentionality on your part. Spending time with Him and getting to know him through His word, prayer and worship. Admit where you are… it's ok to be in a dry place. There are mountains, valleys, deserts and oasis'....lots of different seasons and we just need to keep plugging away! Is. 44:3-4- For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And i will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank. Remember who you are and where God has brought you from- You are a daughter of the King. You have access to God's power and authority through Jesus. You are called, chosen, purposed, loved, forgiven…and much more! Romans 8:28: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose"He has good plans for you friend! Some scripture to encourage you today!Romans 12:11-12- Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Ps 57:1-2- I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. I cry out to God most High to God who will fulfill His purpose for me. Last episode to start you on this journey!- https://www.buzzsprout.com/1769546/14908513Join the GOING DEEPER series- https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/join-the-going-deeper-movement-nowGrab your downloadable scripture cards here>> https://stan.store/mrsangelapitnikoff/p/30-scripture-cardsBe encouraged, challenged and blessed today!!✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Want some fun free resources?

As believers and ministry wives, we will experience times of spiritual dryness, times where we struggle to experience the truth of God's presence in our daily lives, times where our spiritual walk feels stagnant and emotionless. We live in a world full of distraction and fatigue; the battle to focus on Christ is ever present.  Author, mother, and pastor's wife Kristen Wetherell has experienced times of spiritual dryness in her own walk and joins us today to share her story. Kristen shines light on some symptoms of spiritual dryness to be on the alert for, as well as how to navigate those seasons with Christ and community at the forefront.  SHOW NOTES In times of spiritual dryness, choose community and confession rather than shame and isolation.  Symptoms of the beginnings of spiritual dryness can include distraction, discouragement, physical fatigue, ministry burnout, or temptation engagement. Discipline and desire go hand in hand. The more we discipline ourselves spiritually, the more we begin to desire God. QUOTES “In seasons of spiritual dryness, you will be tempted toward shame and isolation when what will be most helpful for you is to choose community and confession because those things bring freedom.” -Kristen Wetherell “It’s weird to think about discipline and desire, but I really think they go hand in hand. Sometimes the desire is there and our hearts are just a flame for the Lord.  Sometimes it’s a discipline, and sometimes it’s both. But I think if we’re disciplined, we can sit back and wait on the Lord to renew the desire. But if we’re not disciplined about it, it’s going to be really hard for that desire to have any space to grow when the Lord turns it on again.” -Christine Hoover LINKS FROM THE SHOW Help For the Hungry Soul Front Row Seat CONNECT Connect with Kristen Website  Connect with Christine Facebook // Instagram // Books Visit How to Thrive as a Pastor’s Wife to access Christine's resources for ministry wives like you!

Today's episode we're tackling something I know many of us struggle with – that pesky feeling of apathy. You know, when you're going through your daily routine feeling disconnected, like you're just ticking boxes without really engaging with your faith.Do you ever feel that?- [00:02:30] I'll get real with you about the emotional exhaustion that can lead us into the arms of indifference, and I'll share some life-changing tips for staying intentional when you're tempted to switch to auto-pilot.- [00:15:45] Ever felt like you're dialing up to God and just getting voicemail? Stick around, as we explore how to press on in faith, even without the warm and fuzzies.- [00:39:15] We'll dive into what 'cheap grace' versus 'costly grace' looks like and why our faith journey is more marathon than a sprint – especially during those times when doubt creeps in, and you wonder if any of this really matters.- [00:50:49] Can we get personal? I'll open up about the times when even I find reading the Bible a snooze and how I've learned to find rivers of relevance in scripture that sometimes feels dry as a desert.In this episode, it's all about shaking off the numbness and awakening to a vibrant, honest, and obedient faith walk. Whether you're struggling to connect with God, wrestling with questions, or just plain feeling blah about faith, know that you're not alone.
