#52 - When the Brook Dries Up

Sep 14, 2026    Pastor Brandon Ware

What do you do when you’ve followed God faithfully—and the very thing He provided suddenly begins to disappear?


In this episode of The Sunday Rewind, Pastor Brandon and Joel continue through the life of Elijah and his time at the Brook Kerith. What may have looked like Elijah being sidelined was actually a season of preparation. God was doing important work beneath the surface, teaching Elijah that hidden seasons are not wasted seasons.


They also unpack the danger of placing our confidence in God’s provision instead of the Provider. Jobs change. Relationships struggle. Plans fall apart. Brooks dry up. But changing circumstances don't mean God has changed or abandoned us. Sometimes God uses the loss of something we depended on to redirect our dependence back to Him.


Ultimately, God is often more interested in who we are becoming than what we are accomplishing. Our weakness isn't necessarily a disadvantage; when dependence on God is the goal, weakness can actually become an advantage. And the gospel reminds us that our hope has never rested in our own sufficiency, but in the complete sufficiency of Jesus Christ.
