E109 | Don’t Try This Alone: Why We Need Each Other

from Captivated · host Stasi Eldredge

Friends, what if the healing we long for is waiting on the other side of letting others in? Today, author and teacher Toni Collier joins Stasi for a powerful conversation on her newest book, Don’t Try This Alone. Toni shares her raw, redemptive story of betrayal, resilience, and the trusted community God used to restore her. This conversation is a tender look at vulnerability, friendship, and the God who redeems every story.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 31:24 (NIV) – Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) – But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.John 11:35–36 (NIV) – Jesus wept.
