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!

Do you feel as if you are always measuring yourself as a mom? Do you feel like the pressure to keep up with moms around you is overwhelming? Do you feel snappy or resentful at your kids and husband? Today, author Sara Hagerty joins me to talk about her new book, The Gift Of Limitations. She is a wife and mom of seven with four adopted kids. Sara shares how we often find ourselves daydreaming about other seasons and how to recognize our limits and give ourselves grace without shame and complaining. When we name our limits we can actually grieve them and let God give us the story He is intricately weaving for our families. Society tells us we can be limitless, we can optimize everything, but Sara reminds us that the limits and plot twists in our life are all from a good Father who is at work in our stories.

Sara Hagerty is the author of Every Bitter Thing is Sweet and Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to be Noticed, a wife to Nate, and a mother of six, including four children adopted from Africa, one toddler who’s found his voice amid them all, and a wee-babe. After almost a decade of Christian life, she was introduced to pain and perplexity and, ultimately, intimacy with Jesus. God met her and moved her when life stopped working for her. His Word and His whisper took on new shape and form to her in the dark. Sara writes regularly about life delays, finding God in the unlikely, motherhood, marriage, and adoption...you can find her info HERE.
Carpool Diem with best-selling author Sara Hagerty chats about her new book (Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed) and that for which every heart longs: to be seen, known and understood. "We often feel guilt over our desire to be seen, so we suppress it. But, we were made to be seen," Sara shares. "We have connection and friendships, but there's still a deep knowing that can only come from God." SaySomething: a-come-as-you-are vodcast for walking life's roads (relationships, friendship, parenting, hardship, entertainment,...) together
Sara Hagerty is the author of Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed, and together with Blaine and Sam she talks about her journey with the church, burnout, discovering God in new ways, her lessons as a mother, and how choosing to tend to the unnoticed places in our lives can be the most rewarding.
Sara Hagerty is a wife, mother and writer - in that order. Like many of us, she grew up dreaming of being a mom. But after having her heart broken again and again by negative pregnancy tests, she accepted that God's path for her life didn't look much like what she had envisioned. Sara and her husband are now the adoptive parents of four African children, as well as two biological children. Her journey has lead her not only to the family God has designed for her, but into a closer relationship with Him and a search to see herself through His eyes. What we chat about: How social media feeds into our innate need to be seen and validated Finding value in the mundane moments of your life The importance of being vulnerable with God What God truly thinks about us and why we have such a hard time believing it Using brokenness as an antidote to shame Practical ways to create margin time with your family Links mentioned: Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet: Tasting the Goodness of God in All Things Baron Fig - Confidant Book Darts Where to find Sara: website // twitter // facebook // instagram // pinterest Episode Sponsor: New Eve Jewelry New Eve Jewelry got its name from Eve in the Bible – God’s first woman. She gets a bad rap, but the truth is that God redeemed her, sending Jesus to bear the punishment for her rebellion. From the moment Eve ran back to God, He made her new. Each piece of New Eve Jewelry, handcrafted with repurposed materials and semiprecious gemstones, serves as a reminder of this. No matter what we’ve done or what our circumstances look like, rich new life can always be found in Jesus. Support the show: Shop Amazon Affiliate Link Share the Struggle!
