Hearing God in a Winter Season of Dryness and Despair
Aug 24, 2025 Season 3 Episode 89
Gary & Jane Berry

Winter can be a time of withdrawal, retreat, stagnation, and closure. A time for transitions and endings. It can be a bleak and disheartening season, where you endure and wait longingly, struggling to hear God and perhaps feeling distant from Him. A time when you may be tempted to pull away from God or feel that God is silent. We unpack why it is so important not to 'camp' in this season but to move through it. We ask the question, 'what if the goal of this season was learning to wait well?' and how that may well change our attitude throughout this season, as waiting can be a spiritual discipline. We also explore how 'why' questions can often be fruitless and examine what can be helpful instead. Join us as we explore hearing God during the winter season and offer practical suggestions on how to handle the waiting.
