Summary

In this episode, I’m diving into the spiritual season of winter—yep, that season nobody volunteers for but somehow always shows up. If you’ve ever felt like God’s ghosting you, like your prayers are hitting a wall, or like you’re stuck in a never-ending freeze, this one's for you. I share personal stories (yes, I’ve definitely been there), practical ways to stay rooted, and some survival hacks to help you not just endure but grow in your winter season. Plus, don't miss the free quiz I made to help you figure out what season you're really in—link’s in the show notes. Let’s talk about silence, root systems, and why rest is actually a weapon.Find out what Spiritual Season you're in: https://havilahcunnington.com/seasons

0:00.0	Hi, welcome to Havelace podcast. I'm Havala Cunnington and today we're jumping into the season of
0:07.1	winter, your spiritual season of winter. Now, before we get started, I have something for you. Yes,
0:12.2	I'm giving gifts already. Listen, there is a test that you can take in the show notes or you can go to
0:18.6	havealac cunnington.com slash seasons to take the test. And for many of us,
0:24.9	we assume what we're in, but you might not be in that season. And so go take that test,
0:29.1	go find out what season you're in. But most importantly, you might be thinking, I know what season
0:33.7	I'm in. And you might be thinking, I'm going to wait until she does the other season
0:37.7	that I'm in and then I'll enjoy that part. But here's the truth. If you don't understand each season,
0:43.7	it doesn't matter how great you're thriving in one season. If you don't know what season you're in,
0:47.3	you can really destroy the next season by not knowing how to prepare or what's coming next.
0:52.4	Or you can kind of be a bad friend because your friend
0:55.2	might be in this season and you're not aware that they need you to know this or your spouse
0:59.8	need you to know this. So we're going to jump into winter. And let me ask you a question. Have you
1:05.9	ever prayed your guts out? I mean like begged God an answer, and you got nothing. Just silence.
1:14.6	Crickets. I know I have. And sometimes it feels like God is straight up ghosting me or ghosting you,
1:20.6	right? It's like, where are you, God? But why is God so quiet? Am we missing something? Well,
1:26.3	if I had told my younger self this, I would
1:28.5	have said, he's not ghosting you. The season has shifted, and you need to lean in and understand
1:33.4	the season that you're end. So let's talk about when God goes quiet. What do we do when it feels like
1:38.4	nothing we do is growing, nothing we do is happening? And it just feels like we're stuck in the middle of this relentless
1:46.3	spiritual winter. So most importantly, winter is like the season that nobody asks for. It's like
1:53.7	nobody wants to go through winter. I mean, I love winter. I love skiing. I love all that. But do I
