Does God seem distant in your life? When we’re in a season of dryness and doubt, it’s tempting to assume we've failed God or that He's failed us. On this edition of Equipped with Chris Brooks, Kyle Strobel will help us see how wilderness moments are opportunities for God to draw us into a deeper, more authentic walk with Him—on Equipped.
