Feeling forgotten by God? You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode, Lisa Catalano dives deep into the heart-wrenching story of Hagar from Genesis, exploring the profound emotions of invisibility and abandonment that many of us face in our spiritual journeys.

Lisa shares her personal experiences of feeling lost and unseen, connecting them to Hagar’s plight as a servant who was thrust into a life-changing situation against her will. You'll discover how God’s promises can feel distant, especially during our wilderness seasons, where hope seems like a mirage on the horizon.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- How to navigate the feelings of being forgotten by both people and God.

- The significance of Hagar's story and what it teaches us about divine care and intervention.

- Why honesty in our struggles can lead to profound encounters with God.

- The difference between knowing God sees us and understanding that He sees me, personally and intimately.

Lisa emphasizes that God does not lose sight of His children, even when we feel abandoned. This episode is a reminder that even in our darkest times, there is hope, healing, and a promise waiting just beyond the wilderness.

Perfect for anyone feeling alone in their faith journey, this episode is essential listening for those seeking reassurance that they are truly seen and valued by God. Tune in and discover the transformative power of being noticed by the Creator.
