## Resource

In this episode, we dive into the dusty wilderness of Exodus 16 to uncover how physical crises expose and refine a leader’s heart. When resources are low, complaints are high, and the future is uncertain, how do we lead? Through the lens of Moses, Aaron, and the grumbling nation of Israel, we learn that wilderness seasons are not just periods of waiting—they are deliberate training grounds designed to shift our focus from temporary provisions to the ultimate Provider.
