All of us pass through wilderness seasons in our lives where we are faced with desperate circumstances that bring us to the end of ourselves. Devoid of all the means we can think of to survive, we have nowhere to turn but to God alone. Yet, in such dire situations, we discover that there is such a thing as Grace in the desert - special care displayed from the heart of a loving God who hears, who knows, who sees. In this episode, we'll visit the story of Hagar in the Bible and learn how we too can discover our own experience with the God who meets us all in the desolate places.
