Have you ever felt completely alone, deserted, or convinced that God has forgotten you?

In this episode of The Shepherd's Journey Podcast, Dr. James Dill shares a powerful true story from his early ministry in 1970s East Los Angeles. He introduces us to Sam, a faithful bus ministry leader who, after years of caring for his invalid wife and pouring his heart into serving others, hit a brick wall. Exhausted and feeling unseen, Sam walked away from his ministry, utterly convinced that God didn't even know his name.

Listen as Dr. Dill recounts the miraculous encounter waiting for Sam —a moment that proved God sees us, cares for us, and knows exactly who we are.

If you are hurting, lonely, or feeling unseen today, let this story be your reminder: You are not an accident, and you are never forgotten.
