Pastor Leslie teaches that God often meets us in ordinary life through people and circumstances — especially through community and hospitality — and warns that comparison, living in the past, hurry, and self-sufficiency can make us miss God. Using the Shunammite woman's encounter with the prophet as the central example, she explains that God names and meets deep longings (sometimes miraculously and despite our unbelief) and calls listeners to name their needs, return to community, and trust God's timing.
