Into the wilderness we go…
This week, I’m sharing what it looks like to obey God when the feelings fade. In this wilderness season, He’s been teaching me that true spiritual maturity is rooted in steady, faith-driven obedience—anchored by scripture, gratitude, and community. If you’ve ever felt like heaven was quiet, I see you.
Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how much we feel God, but by how quickly we obey Him.
In this week’s episode, we’re diving into what spiritual maturity really looks like when life feels quiet, busy, or even a little dry. From faith-driven obedience to gratitude that shifts your perspective, this is your reminder that God is at work — even when you can’t see it yet.

THIS WEEK’S SACRED SOUL NOTE…
My Mustard Seed Feels Too Small
I am grateful that He is teaching me how to practice His presence even when I don’t “feel” Him or when He doesn’t manifest Himself like He usually does.
It’s aching to the soul, if I’m honest.
I can’t even imagine what Jesus felt when He was stripped from His father's presence for the one moment to take on all of the sins of the world.
This week’s scripture:
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification
JOURNAL PROMPT:
"Reflect on a season in your life where God felt distant, and you were in a “wilderness” of uncertainty or trial. How did you respond in faith and obedience, even when it was difficult?
Follow-up Questions:
In what ways did your faith feel tested, stretched, or refined?
How did you experience God’s presence or guidance, even when it wasn’t obvious?
Are there habits, mindsets, or patterns you can cultivate now to grow in spiritual maturity for future wilderness seasons?
Desire prayer this week? (tbh, your answer should always be yes)
