Carter Conlon addresses the feeling of spiritual stagnation, emphasizing that even when it seems God is silent, He is actively working within us. He draws from Isaiah 30, highlighting that true strength comes from returning to God in quietness and confidence, rather than seeking worldly solutions. Conlon warns against the temptation to rely on external noise and quick fixes, urging believers to trust in God's quiet work in their lives. He illustrates this with the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel, contrasting the noise of false prophets with the quiet power of God. Ultimately, he reassures that God is continually building us into His temple, even when we cannot see or hear it.
