E10: Purpose in the Desert: How God Can Calm an Anxious Heart (dealing with burnout, severe anxiety and feeling distant from God)

Have you ever walked through a season that felt like a spiritual desert—dry, isolating, and heavy with questions? In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode of With Purpose Podcast, we’re joined by Alison Hallet as she shares her powerful story of walking through a year of physical illness, emotional exhaustion, and spiritual dryness... and how God met her in it all.From critically low iron levels to overwhelming anxiety, from the loss of spiritual wonder to a renewed awe in God’s Word—Ali takes us on a journey through pain, fear, and ultimately, restoration. This conversation will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like they were holding on by a thread, wondering if God sees them in their brokenness.Together, we talk about:What happens when our spiritual tanks run dryHow God uses the wilderness to refine and reshape usThe lies we believe in our vulnerability—and the truth that anchors usWhy Jesus is not just a distant Savior, but a present help who understands sufferingAnd how even in the hardest places, God is working purpose in the desertAli’s vulnerability, wisdom, and faith will stir your heart and remind you that God does not waste our wilderness. He is the lifter of your head, the healer of your heart, and the One who walks with you, even when the path is unclear.What anxieties are you holding onto? What fears are you carrying alone? This week, we challenge you to intentionally bring them before the Lord—day by day, moment by moment— and trust that your help comes from Him.
