Have you ever walked through a season where it wasn’t necessarily one big thing — it was just one thing after another?
When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying. In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine. Instead we can acknowledge what’s hard, believe God is still working with purpose, and remember what feels permanent right now is temporary in light of eternity.
Sometimes the hardest part of trusting God isn’t believing that He has a plan ... It’s wondering whether His plan will be anything like the one we hoped for. In this episode, Lysa TerKeurst shares the first chapter of her new book, Making Peace with What I Can’t Control, and names a fear many of us may be carrying: What if God allows something I don’t know how to live with? Listen in to discover how to trust God when you don’t have the answers and how releasing the need to know what happens next can actually create a deeper relationship with Him.
Maybe we’ve made wisdom more complicated than God intended it to be.
Are you feeling worn out from constantly overthinking, trying to fix the people around you, or attempting to figure out every detail of your future? In this episode, hosts Kaley Olson and Cailah Garcia sit down with Proverbs 31 Ministries President Lysa TerKeurst for an exclusive preview of her book Making Peace with What I Can't Control. Together, they unpack an unexpected aspect in the story of Judas in Matthew 26, revealing how a subtle desire to force immediate relief can lead us to take control into our own hands rather than trust God. Listen in to discover how making one foundational shift in perspective can help you release the weight you were never meant to carry and bring true rest to your heart today.
