If you’ve ever sat in a quiet room and wondered, “God… do You still love me? Have You forgotten me?” — this episode is for you.

Today we joined by my friend Whitney Lowe to talk about those real, holy, confusing seasons when God feels distant, silent, or impossible to feel. We unpack how God pursues us even when we feel unworthy, overwhelmed, or spiritually numb, and why His silence doesn’t mean His absence.

Whitney shares pieces of her story and Scripture to remind us of this truth: God’s steadfast love gets the final word. Every time.

Inside this conversation:
• What we often believe about God when we feel overlooked
• Why slow, hidden seasons are not signs of failure
• The lies that make us doubt God’s goodness
• How to recognize God’s pursuit in ordinary, quiet moments
• Encouragement for the woman who feels nothing but fatigue

Pour a cup of coffee and take a breath, friend — today is the day to remember you are not forgotten. God is nearer than you think.
