Description

Have you ever felt spiritually dry—like the connection you once had with God is now just a memory? In this powerful message, Pastor Luke Taylor unpacks the raw emotion and longing of Psalm 42, a heartfelt cry from someone who feels far from God but refuses to give up hope. This isn’t just a poetic psalm—it’s a lifeline for anyone facing spiritual apathy, disconnection from church, or a sense of loss in their faith journey.


Using the striking imagery of a panting deer desperate for water, Pastor Luke challenges us to confront the subtle danger of the quiet drift—that slow, unnoticed slide away from God’s presence. He outlines 7 stages of spiritual drift, helping us recognise warning signs early and reclaim what we’ve lost.


Whether you’re burned out, disengaged, or simply missing the fire you once had for worship, this message offers hope, restoration, and a clear call to rekindle your spiritual rhythms.
