The Dark Night of the Soul - S22E7

What happens when you hit rock bottom, feel alone, and ask God “Why?” In this episode, Pastors Joby Martin, Matt Carter, and Jonathan Vinke reflect on Elijah’s encounter with God in 1 Kings 19. Together they explore waiting in seasons of silence, God’s patience with prodigals, and how the Lord restores weary hearts not with explanations but with His presence.

Where might God be whispering to you right now?
