In this episode, I wrestle with one of the deepest struggles we all face, the silence of God. Drawing from the raw, honest cry of the prophet Habakkuk, I unpack what it means to question, to hurt, and to wait when heaven seems unresponsive. We dive into scripture, from David’s anguish in the Psalms to Paul’s hardships, to Jesus’ own cry from the cross, to remind ourselves that spiritual struggle is not a sign of weak faith, but of real faith.
God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence. Sometimes, silence is the sacred space where faith deepens. We explore how to move from complaint to confidence, from “How long, O Lord?” to “Yet I will rejoice.” I challenge us to examine our assumptions about God’s role in our lives, and to recognize the growth, endurance, and spiritual maturity that often come in the waiting.
This isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about trusting the One who does. If you’re in a season of silence, this message is for you. Let’s learn to bring our aching hearts honestly before God, and in doing so, grow into a deeper faith, one that finds strength even when the fig tree does not blossom.
