What if the “spiritual blahs” aren't a sign of failure but a divine invitation to a deeper friendship with God? What if the same God who met Elijah in his darkest depression is the same God who meets you in your dry season? In today's episode, Rebecca gets raw and real about her own spiritual dryness after a mountaintop experience, drawing a powerful parallel to the prophet Elijah's post-Mount Carmel exhaustion. As we explore the song "A New Eden" by The Belonging Co, we'll dive deep into its biblical foundations to rediscover the intimacy of walking with God in the garden, a friendship made possible through Christ. This isn't just about feeling God's presence; it's about choosing to believe His Word even when our emotions, circumstances, and experiences seem to contradict it. It's an invitation to stop hiding, accept His love, and let Him give you a new heart that desires His presence above all else.

In This Episode:

• Why the "spiritual blahs" are a common experience, even for prophets like Elijah.
• The profound meaning of "A New Eden" and its biblical foundation in Genesis 3:8.
• How God's tender response to Elijah's depression reveals His heart for us in our moments of weakness.
• The shame and fear cycle that makes us hide from God, and how to break it with the truth of His pursuing love.
• The supernatural work of God that transforms our "heart of stone" into a "heart of flesh" for true communion.
• How to tune your heart to the "broadcast" of God's presence, living by faith and not by sight.
