36. Trusting God With Loved Ones Who Don’t Know Jesus

Send us your thoughts through Fan Mail Praying for someone you love to know Jesus can be one of the heaviest burdens a believer carries. You may feel helpless, afraid, tired, or quietly discouraged — even while still hoping. In this episode of Healthy and Redeemed, we talk about how to trust God with the salvation of those closest to our hearts — children, spouses, parents, friends, and loved ones who have not yet turned to Christ. You’ll be reminded that God loves them even more than you do, that He is actively working in ways you cannot see, and that you do not have to carry a burden that only God can hold. We’ll look at Scripture, address common emotional struggles, and share gentle, practical ways to continue praying with peace instead of pressure. This episode is for every heart that is weary — but still believing. Resources: Follow the incredible story of Laura Perry and her mother - Francine Perry.
