desert-trained

In the absence of further context, I would take it to be a description of soldiers who are trained to fight in deserts. Do you have a context that suggests otherwise?

1. ...all the best prophets in the world are desert-trained, ...
2, The promised land is your inheritance, it can't not be inhabited through visitation only, it only can inherited by people who desert-trained
this phrase I listened from a guy, his name is Graham Cooke, he was
talking about the wilderness if you are christian, you will know it.
But I also google this phrase, I saw

does that mean someone who is being trained in the toughest environment? it doesn't always mean to be trained in the "desert", it is just my guess

fairyfan does that mean someone who is being trained in the toughest environment? it doesn't always mean to be trained in the "desert", it is just my guess

That's a good guess (I was thinking that myself), but I don't think it's right. I think that there has to be an actual desert involved somehow. The writers do seem to be taking the term a bit figuratively,

yes, it is exactly what he said when he is talking about how hard the wilderness was for people who are in, thank you
