ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The wilderness will strip you of everything you used to define yourself by — and leave you with the only question that matters: who am I, really, and who is God to me now?
Lex sits down with Bri — Bible study leader and the wilderness teacher for the CultivateHER Retreat — for an honest conversation from inside a wilderness season, not from the other side of it.
Bri shares coming out of a divorce, losing her career, and watching every external identity fall away until all that was left was "image bearer." She and Lex get into what abiding really means when the provision is gone (were you abiding in the resources, or the source?), the difference between consequence and punishment, how the wilderness exposes what the mask used to hide, and the truth the whole season has been building toward: Jesus didn't stumble into the wilderness — He was led there.
For the woman in the middle of something she can't explain, wondering if God is punishing her — when He might be perfecting her.
A note: this episode touches on divorce, loss, and hard seasons — be gentle with yourself as you listen.
This season is building toward the CultivateHER Retreat: An Exodus Experience — Oct 30–Nov 1, Louisiana, where Bri will be teaching. Tickets close Oct 17. Register at thecultivateco.org.
