38 min - 145. Feeling Overlooked or Forgotten by God? 3 Ways to Draw Near to Jesus in Hidden Seasons
Today we’re getting real and vulnerable about navigating a season of hiddenness and trusting God’s timing – even when it gets uncomfortable and we're tempted to give up. It’s so easy to feel like hidden seasons are wasted time, but I’m learning that they’re actually crucial for preparing us for what God has planned. We’ll dive into how they refine us, deepen our faith, and root our identity in God’s love rather than external validation.
I hope this encourages you if you’re feeling overlooked or stuck right now. Remember, hidden seasons are not punishment but a gift, a time to be faithful and get rooted in God’s presence. Join me as I unpack what I’m learning and share some practical steps for making the most of these hidden seasons in your own life!
