Day 13 of Leading with God's Heart addresses what many experience but few talk about: spiritual drought. Those desert times when prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling, when ministry yields little visible fruit, when your own spiritual life feels dry and distant.

Desiree Day offers a radically different perspective on these difficult seasons, drawing from Jeremiah 17:7-8—the image of a tree planted by water that "has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." The key? Deep roots.

This episode challenges the notion that drought equals God's absence or punishment. Instead, these seasons are opportunities for your roots to go deeper, for your faith to become anchored in God's unchanging character rather than your changing feelings. You'll learn how mature spiritual leaders remain rooted in God's faithfulness when circumstances suggest otherwise.

Whether you're currently in a drought season or preparing for the next one, this episode provides practical wisdom for navigating spiritual dryness without losing faith. The shift action includes powerful exercises for both drought and abundance seasons.
