Finding Blessing in Famine: Dr. Theresa M Bell on Lack, Hurt and God’s Protection

Episode Overview

Hardship and famine can be allowed by God to get people’s attention and guide them back to obedience.
God is able to bless and protect those who walk in righteousness, even while others around them struggle.
A spiritual famine—lack of hearing God’s word—is more dangerous than the lack of food or water, so staying in scripture is vital.
In seasons of lack, asking God "what's my lesson?" helps shift focus from complaining to learning and growth.
Church communities need to address deep hurt and grief, including losses from the pandemic, instead of only offering feel-good messages.

“He can take a famine and bless you. He can rain on your land and not rain on somebody else.”

How do people find hope in the darkest times? This Bible study-style episode of *Resilient Truths* centres on Dr. Theresa M Bell teaching about famine, lack and the power of God to sustain believers through both. You’ll hear Dr. Bell read and unpack passages from Amos, Matthew and Luke, tying ancient scripture directly to present-day challenges like financial struggle, wars, natural disasters and emotional pain.

She stresses that material and spiritual hardship can be allowed by God as a way to get our attention: "God can cause a famine to get people to do what they're supposed to do." At the same time, she reminds everyone that "He can take a famine and bless you. He can rain on your land and not rain on somebody else," highlighting the protection and care promised to those walking in obedience. The tone is raw and honest. Dr.

Bell openly mentions "going through some stuff" financially, internet outages, and dealing with other people’s drama, all while choosing to keep teaching and stay in the Word. This makes the episode especially relatable for anyone feeling worn down, yet still trying to cling to faith. A key theme is spiritual famine: not the lack of food or water, but the absence of hearing God’s word. Dr.

Bell warns that this is "a sad, sad day" and urges people to keep scripture written on their hearts and to ask, in times of hardship, "okay, Lord, what's my lesson?" She also shifts towards the unaddressed hurt in churches, including grief from the pandemic and "church hurt" that many feel but rarely talk about.

If you’re wondering how faith might speak to seasons of loss, lack or emotional pain, this episode offers a straight-talking, scripture-based perspective with a clear message: stay close to God, ask what you’re meant to learn, and trust that you can be kept even in the middle of a storm. What lesson might your current season be trying to teach you?
