The Illuminated Woman

210 Being Alone in the Wilderness - Lessons From The First Person To Give God A Name

Lori Latimer Episode 210

In this sacred and deeply personal follow-up to last week’s episode, I share the story of Hagar—a woman in Scripture who walked through the wilderness not once, but twice. Discarded, unseen, and weary, she was met by the God who called her by name. And she became the first person in the Bible to give God a name in return: El Roi (pronounced El Roh-EE)—The God Who Sees Me.

If you’re in a season of feeling forgotten, this episode will remind you: God sees you. He hears you. And He has not abandoned you.

✨ In this episode, I share:

  • How Hagar’s story in Genesis 16 and 21 mirrors our modern-day wilderness seasons
  • Why being stripped of status and striving is often where true faith begins
  • What it means to be seen, sustained, and sent—even when you feel invisible
  • A reminder that provision may already be near—you just need God to open your eyes to see it
