DUNAMIS: Finding Purpose in Seasons of Famine and Lack

Episode Overview

Famine can be a setup for blessing or correction, not always simple punishment.
Believers are called to change atmospheres and leave every place better than they found it.
You need to stay spiritually full and "feed people from your saucer", not from an empty cup.
Obedience to God’s will is essential; repeated disobedience can lead to seasons of severe lack.
Crying out to God and walking closely with Him before crisis helps prepare you for hard times.

“What God put in your cup is for you. You’ve got to be a little bit selfish. And that overflow that gets into the saucer, that’s what you feed the people.”

What drives someone to seek a life of spiritual strength even when everything around them feels empty? This episode of *Resilient Truths* centres on "DUNAMIS: Famine/Lack", where Dr. Theresa M Bell talks about what it means to face seasons of shortage while carrying the power of the Holy Ghost inside. You’ll hear Dr. Bell unpack the "oxymoron" of having spiritual power yet still dealing with bills, burnout, and emotional strain.

Drawing heavily on scripture, she shows how famine isn’t always punishment; sometimes it’s positioning. Using the story of Joseph, she explains how God can place someone in a desolate land so they become a source of provision and influence: when Joseph opened the storehouses, people in famine came to him for help. Apostle Dr.

Cheryl Williams adds thoughtful support, stressing the importance of leaving every place better than you found it, even if it’s just a friend’s house or a temporary stay. Her image of "game changers" and "trendsetters" pushes the idea that believers should change atmospheres through practical kindness and a consistent walk with God. One of the standout moments comes when Dr. Bell says, "What God put in your cup is for you... You feed people out of your saucer.

Don’t feed them out of your cup." It’s a firm reminder that constantly pouring from an empty place helps no one, especially during personal famine. The episode speaks to anyone who feels worn down, questioning their purpose or wondering why lack keeps showing up in their life. It suggests turning to God early, not just when hunger pains hit—spiritually or practically—and staying "ready in season and out of season" to be used to help others.

If you’re facing your own season of lack and wondering what God might be saying through it, could this be the perspective shift you’ve been waiting for?
