Have you ever prayed a prayer that felt good and right… and yet, heaven seemed silent?

Maybe you’ve believed for something deeply—something holy—and it still hasn’t come to pass. And you’re left wondering what God is doing… or if He sees you at all.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had a tender and honest conversation with Heather LaVigne about her book Barren. Together, we talked about what it means to trust God in seasons that don’t look the way we hoped—especially when the longing is deep and the waiting feels heavy.

Heather shares from her own story of infertility and unmet expectations, but what she offers is something so much greater than answers—she offers perspective. A reminder that even in seasons that feel empty, God is not absent. He is present, working, and writing a story we may not yet understand.

If you are walking through a season of waiting…
If your prayers feel unanswered…
If your heart feels tender from hope deferred…

This conversation is for you.

We also talk about a beautiful opportunity for couples navigating childlessness or infertility—a Legacy Place conference designed to offer support, encouragement, and community. If that resonates with you or someone you love, you’ll find more details in the show notes.

Friend, I want to gently remind you today:
Your story is not forgotten.
Your prayers are not wasted.
And your life is not barren in God’s hands.

Even here, He is bringing forth something meaningful.

I’m praying this conversation meets you right where you are and reminds you that you are deeply seen, known, and loved.

With love,
Rachael

A Prayer for You:
Lord, for the woman carrying a quiet ache today, would You meet her in her waiting? Remind her that You are near, that You are good, and that nothing in her life is without purpose. Strengthen her faith, comfort her heart, and help her trust You—even here. Amen.

The Love Offering

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I talk with Heather LaVigne about her book Barren and the tender reality of trusting God in seasons that don’t unfold the way we hoped. Through her personal story of infertility and unmet expectations, Heather offers honest encouragement for anyone walking through waiting, disappointment, or unanswered prayers—reminding us that even when life feels empty, God is still present, purposeful, and at work. This conversation is a gentle invitation to hold onto faith, even when the outcome looks different from what we imagined.
