To see and be seen: Finding joy in connection

About this episode

Sam discusses the importance of seeing others and finding joy in connection with God.

In a world where so many people feel unseen and alone, a simple smile or moment of eye contact can make a powerful difference. In this episode, Sam shares how choosing to see others reflects the heart of God, the God who sees us. She also reminds listeners that our relationship with God isn’t just about being known by Him, but also about getting to know Him. The more we learn who He is, the more clearly we discover who we are in Him. Key Scriptures: •Genesis 16:13 “You are the God who sees me.” •Psalm 139:1–4 “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.” •John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.” 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to slow down, see others the way God does, and find joy in truly knowing Him.
