“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water…” (Psalm 1:3)
In today’s episode of Soul Food: Real Talk for Real Transformation, we’re wrapping up the Silent Season Series with a truth that’s been hiding in plain sight: just because a tree isn’t bearing fruit doesn’t mean it’s not growing.
In the unseen places—beneath the soil, behind the scenes—God is doing His deepest work. Dormant seasons aren’t dead seasons. They’re where root systems deepen, strength is forged, and your sustainability for the next season is established.
Drawing from the science of fruit trees and the symbolism of Scripture, we explore:
🔹 What’s happening underground during your “nothing’s happening” seasons
🔹 Why God often withholds visible fruit until you’re fortified enough to carry it
🔹 The silent, strengthening work of God that precedes public promotion
🔹 How to recognize the signs of hidden growth in your own life
🔹 What Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17 teach us about drought and delay
🔹 Encouragement for those who feel overlooked or unproductive
Whether you're in a winter season, waiting for your harvest, or wondering if your prayers are even making a difference—this episode will anchor you in truth, hope, and spiritual vision.
