Summary

Kaleb Allen launches the wilderness series speaking directly to you who feels dry, spiritually empty, or confused. He teaches the difference between seasons we choose and those God leads us into. These teaching is drawn from John of the Cross, the life of Jesus, and Kaleb's own experience. This message is for you who is doing everything right on the outside but still feel like something is missing.

What You’ll hear:
• Why doing all the right things doesn’t always make you feel right
• What an “active” vs. “passive” wilderness season looks like
• Why God may be withdrawing comfort to produce something deeper
• How the Spirit uses detachment to refine your desires
• Why you can’t discipline your way out of spiritual dryness
• What it means to persevere when everything feels dull or distant

Tune in to learn how to walk with God through the dry places. The wilderness won’t last forever—but it will shape you if you let it.

0:00.0	If you've been a follower of the Dad Tired podcast for a while, you have likely noticed that we
0:04.3	release an episode every Monday. We've been doing that for eight or nine years now. And this is the
0:10.0	first time that we've ever done a midweek show. But we came off for the retreat just last week
0:14.3	and realized that we just get the sense that guys are super hungry to continue to dive deeper into
0:19.6	theology, asking tough and hard and good questions,
0:23.9	studying the scriptures, basically anything they can do to figure out what it looks like for them
0:29.0	to be the men that God's called them to be, which is really exciting. And so Pastor Caleb,
0:33.5	who is my personal pastor, like I sit under his leadership at church on Sundays. He taught at the
0:38.7	retreat. And then Chris Hilkin, who's a pastor in San Diego and one of my best friends, he also taught
0:43.6	at the retreat. He's done many podcasts here on the Dad Tired podcast. And so the three of us taught at the
0:48.6	retreat and we were just dreaming and praying and thinking together and thought, man, it would just be cool for us to, one, continue to work together because it's so fun doing ministry together. But two, why don't we create more
0:59.1	episodes during the week that guys can continue to dive in? So every Monday still, I'll keep that
1:03.9	episode. It will either be me doing some kind of teaching or I'll have some guest on and do some
1:09.2	interviews as we've done again over the last eight or nine years.
1:13.1	But then also on Wednesdays, Caleb is going to, Wednesdays will essentially be dedicated to Caleb for as long as he's able to do it.
1:21.1	Again, he's still pastoring his church, our church here in town.
1:25.5	But as long as he's able, he's really excited about what God's doing at that's hired. So as long as he's able, he's really excited about what God's doing
1:28.2	at that's hired. So as long as he's able, he's going to do a podcast every Wednesday. He has a
1:32.2	six-week series planned, which we're going to dive into today. I've obviously listened to the show.
1:37.7	And it's for my own soul, man, this is going to be so helpful. So many of you feel like you
1:42.9	are in the wilderness of your faith, like just
1:45.0	mundane. And if you're not there, you will be there again. So this series is going to be really
