What is the wilderness for? Is it a place to escape as soon as possible…or could it be something more? In this heartfelt and honest message, we explore the story of Elijah — a prophet who saw fire fall from heaven, only to fall into despair soon after. From the highs of a mountaintop miracle to the low of a whispered breakdown, Elijah’s journey mirrors many of our own: moments of undeniable faith followed by seasons of weariness, burnout, and questions.
Drawing inspiration from the children’s book A Hole Is To Dig, this message from Pastor Elijah Schiarelli gently reframes the purpose of the wilderness seasons in our lives. Maybe the wilderness is for slowing down. For listening. For realizing that God doesn’t just show up in fire and power, but also in silence, in routine, in whispered reassurance.
If you’re feeling tired, unseen, or stuck in a dry season—this message is for you. Because even in the quiet, God is still moving. And He’s not done with you yet.
