Top 10: #6 - Wilderness Seasons with Lauren Chandler

In the #6 spot on Real Talk with Rachael's top 10 countdown, author Lauren Chandler shares insights from her Bible study, With Us in the Wilderness: A Study of the Book of Numbers. She reminds us that God’s plan has always included women and that even the difficult passages in Scripture reveal His heart for justice and restoration. Lauren encourages us to approach the Bible with prayer and patience, trusting that God’s voice will always align with His character. She also dives into how wilderness seasons—though challenging—are where God recenters our lives around Him. Community is essential in these times, even when past hurts make it hard to trust again. Lauren’s message is full of grace: your wilderness won’t last forever, God is with you in it, and He doesn’t waste a single moment. If you’re feeling stuck, take time this week to pray and ask God, Where are You in this season? And where am I? He’s closer than you think.
