When You’re Just Getting By: Trusting God in the Desert (Isaiah 43:19)

Season 1 Episode 8-

When you’re walking through a desert season of life, nothing feels easy — or Instagrammable. In this honest episode of What the Heaven, host Riley opens up about her current wilderness season: struggling with health issues, living off “just enough”, and learning to trust God when the bills are barely getting paid.

Using Isaiah 43:19 (“See, I am doing a new thing… I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland”), Riley reminds us that even when life feels dry and discouraging, God is still providing — one day, one miracle, one bit of manna at a time.

💭 Inside this episode:

• What it really means to be in a desert season

• How comparison can kill your contentment

• Why “just enough” is still a form of God’s faithfulness

• A reminder that your wilderness is preparation, not punishment

If you’ve been feeling behind, forgotten, or stuck in a spiritual or financial dry spell, this episode will meet you right where you are.

✨ Listen now for a raw, relatable faith story that reminds you: you can’t compare your desert to someone else’s paradise.
