In today’s bonus episode, we wrap up our conversation on Living Seen and I’m beyond excited to share a special interview with a dear friend of mine, Whitney Akin. Whitney is a speaker, Bible teacher, podcast host, and author of Overlooked: Finding Your Worth When You Feel All Alone. In this episode, Whitney and I dive deep into what it means to truly live seen by El Roi, the God who sees us, and how His presence changes everything in our lives.
Whitney’s heart is to equip the everyday Christian to know God, study His word, and fall in love with Jesus. Her writing has been featured in YouVersion, Proverbs 31 Ministries, (in)courage, Her View From Home, and more. She hosts the Hanging On Every Word podcast, where she explores a book of the Bible with her listeners each season. Whitney, along with her high school sweetheart Eli and their three beautiful (and energetic!) kids, calls Atlanta, Georgia, home.
I know this conversation will bless you, so grab a cup of coffee and listen in as Whitney shares her wisdom and insight.
Resources Mentioned:
- Overlooked: Finding Your Worth When You Feel All Alone – available on Amazon
- Hanging On Every Word podcast

Be sure to follow Whitney, grab her book, and allow God to remind you today that He sees you! Let’s walk out Living Seen together.

Wednesday Mar 19, 2025
In this episode, we chat about the connection between purpose and living seen by God. Building on last week’s conversation, we discuss how understanding your purpose in life goes beyond just the actions you take — it’s about understanding who you are and why you’re here. When you embrace your God-given purpose, you walk confidently, knowing that you are seen and valued by God, not the world.
We touch on the story of John the Baptist, a man who knew his purpose and was unwavering in his identity. We also look at the woman at the well in John 4, who was transformed after meeting Jesus, the One who truly sees us. These examples remind us that our identity and purpose are rooted in our relationship with God.
A major focus of this episode is on the importance of core values. Your core values are the principles that guide your decisions, actions, and overall life direction. By understanding your core values, you gain clarity on your purpose and can live authentically. Personal development and self-awareness are key to discovering what you truly stand for, and we’ll give you practical exercises to start exploring who you really are.
Get ready to answer reflective questions that will help you uncover your values and passions. From favorite activities to core beliefs, this episode will guide you in creating a purpose-driven life that is aligned with who God made you to be.
Key Takeaways:
- Living with Purpose: Understand how knowing your God-given purpose can transform your life.
- Core Values: Discover the fundamental beliefs that guide your decisions and actions.
- Personal Growth: Develop self-awareness and clarity through reflection and thoughtful questions.
