Growing God's Gifts: Embracing a Lifestyle of Stewardship

Have you ever felt like God went quiet — like you’re doing all the right things, but Heaven has gone silent?You’re not alone.In this episode of Growing God’s Gifts, we dive into Elijah’s cave in 1 Kings 19 — a powerful story of burnout, fear, and divine recalibration. Through Scripture and Roma Waterman’s prophetic word “From Jars of Clay to Megaphones of Glory” (ElijahList.com), we’ll explore what God is really doing when you feel hidden, weary, or stuck in a waiting season.You’ll discover:Why God sometimes feels silent — and how to recognize when He’s simply changing frequencies.How the “cave seasons” of life prepare you for breakthrough, not burnout.What the whisper of God sounds like after the noise has faded.If you’ve been asking, “Where is God in my silence?” this episode will help you slow down, tune in, and hear His voice again.Episode HighlightsElijah’s emotional crash after victory (1 Kings 19:1–18)Why God speaks in the whisper, not the whirlwindUnderstanding “the frequency of slow” — and why Heaven moves at a different paceRoma Waterman’s prophetic vision of the empty chair — an invitation to stillnessBecoming a megaphone of glory after the breakingPractical ways to hear God again: silence, journaling, and letting go of hurryKey Quotes“The cave was never about isolation — it was about recalibration.”“God hasn’t gone silent. He’s just speaking on a different frequency.”Scripture Reference1 Kings 19:9–13 (NIV)“After the fire came a gentle whisper... When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.”ReflectionIf you feel like you’re in a silent season, remember:The waiting isn’t wasted.The silence isn’t punishment.The cave is where God retunes your heart to His voice.Resources MentionedProphetic Word: “From Jars of Clay to Megaphones of Glory” by Roma Waterman (ElijahList.com)Read: 1 Kings 19 — Elijah’s encounter in the caveConnect with Kira / Support the ShowFollow on Facebook: ⁠@GrowingGodsGifts⁠Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform so you don’t miss the next episodeSupport the show via Buy Me a Coffee: ⁠buymeacoffee.com/growgodsgifts⁠Share, rate, and review the podcast—it helps others find it!Extra Links / NotesCome check out my website: ⁠kirastpierre.com⁠                I also offer Custom Web Design Services, now!
