In this powerful sermon, Ashleigh Givens takes us into the story of Hagar from the book of Genesis—highlighting her vulnerability, resilience, and the way God meets her in crisis.
Rather than treating every biblical figure as a moral example, Ashleigh invites us to wrestle with the complexity of Scripture. The Bible often raises difficult questions about power, justice, and human failure—and through it all, God remains the true protagonist.
Ashleigh challenges us to look beyond the characters and into the heart of God’s redemptive work.
The sermon concludes with an insightful interview with Casey Kidd from the Family Crisis Center in Jonesboro, connecting the biblical narrative to real-world advocacy and care for women in crisis.
This is a message about seeing the unseen, hearing the unheard, and remembering the God who sees.
