What if the pain you thought nobody noticed is the very place where God is already working?

In this episode of Through the Bible in a Year: Walking the Story of God, Dr. Shawn M. Greener walks through Genesis 29:31 to 35 and the story of Leah, the woman who was present in the house, fruitful in the family, but still unloved.

This passage speaks to anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, compared, dismissed, or treated like second place. Leah’s story reminds us that God sees what people miss, hears what people ignore, and can bring redemption through the very place others overlooked.

Through a Hebraic worldview and Ancient Near Eastern context, we’ll look at Leah, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, household honor, inheritance, identity, and the stunning truth that Messiah comes through the line of the woman people didn’t prefer.

Question for your heart:

Where have you felt overlooked, and what would change if you believed God really sees you?
