Can you truly trust again after betrayal? According to today’s guest, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst, you can—but it takes wisdom, discernment, and healing.
In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the complexities of trust, exploring whether or not trust should be unconditional, what red flags to watch for within relationships, and how to avoid “living hurt” after you’ve been hurt. You’ll discover you can manage your skepticism and find a way forward.
During times of transition—like a move, a divorce, or a new season of life—the changes we face can flip our world upside-down. They shake us to the core, shatter our hopes and dreams, and make us feel like we’re in the middle of a “lifequake.” And if you’ve ever been in one, you know surveying the aftermath can be scary.
Well, today’s guest, author Tracie Miles, will equip you to say goodbye to the way things once were so you can embrace God’s future for you … even if it isn’t the future you expected. She’ll help you see that even if your life is falling apart, God is still in control, and this lifequake may be exactly what He has allowed to shape you and remake you.

Today I’m “talking story” with the one and only Karen Kingsbury!
“Talking story” is a phrase I learned in Hawaii, and it’s when you have a casual conversation with someone. You know—hang out, shoot the breeze, and just tell stories.
Well, since Karen is one of the best storytellers I know who also happens to be a #1 New York Times best-selling author, I thought there’s no better person to “talk story” … about story!
