Over at The Gospel Coalition, I’ve posted a new article on “Your Wilderness Wanderings Aren’t a Waste.” It overviews the theme of wilderness, spanning from Israel to Jesus, and reminds us that God’s ultimate goal in any wilderness season or situation is “to do you good in the end” (Deut. 8:3). Older TGC articles I’ve written can be viewed here.
You can also read an excerpt from the book over at Gospel-Centered Discipleship.
You can now download and sample chapter one from Your Wilderness Is Not a Waste: God’s Purpose in Suffering and Struggles. This chapter retells Hagar’s two wilderness stories from Genesis.
If you’d rather listen to something in the car, I’ve also recently been on the podcasts Equipped with Chris Brooks and Beauty in the Brokenness. I hope these remind us of God’s nearness in the valley.
