Ep. 38 Grace Honors the Try | Kim Tschirret

Do you ever struggle to receive something so incredibly good because you feel like it’s too much—or that you don’t deserve it? In this powerful Part 2 conversation, Kim Tschirret, founder and CEO of Hope Reins, a 38-acre ranch in Raleigh, NC, reminds us of a life-altering truth: Grace honors the try. Not perfection. Not performance. Just the courage to keep showing up. Kim shares what it means to live with open hands in the middle of trauma, uncertainty, and fear—and how grace welcomes God’s presence in our imperfection. In this episode, we talk about: What it means to be trauma-informed—and why asking “What happened to you?” changes everything. The heartbreaking mental health crisis facing kids today. How to journey from worry to trust—and back again, when worry takes over. Why gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a powerful affirmation of God’s sovereignty and goodness. You’ll also hear the unforgettable story of a young girl whose trauma stole her security—and the blind horse named Joey who helped her find her voice. Don’t miss the moment Kim realized God had a gift just for her. Selah. 💬 Grace Quotes from Kim Tschirret: “I don't control because I think I'm right. I control for safety... It's that [fear] of what might happen.” “Healing can't happen without trust.” "When I look for Him and live my life with gratitude, I realize God is sovereign and in control. I don't need to be. I'm safe." “Keeping my eyes open to what He's doing helps me because I see Him working.” Grace doesn’t demand you to get it all right. Grace simply honors the try. 🎧 Listen now, and share this conversation with someone who needs a reminder that they are not alone—and they are not beyond grace.   Resources Mentioned: 🌿 Download your FREE digital copy of Jennifer Bleakley's Joey here 🌿 The Academy, training programs to bring hope and healing to your community 🌿 Harvard's Center for Child Development Studies on Resiliency in Children   Connect with Kim Tschirret: Website: HopeReins.org Instagram: @HopeReinsNC Facebook: @HopeReinsNC X: @HopeReinsNC Stay Connected with Jennifer Sakata: 🎁 My FREE gift to you: Living the Grace Life, One Prayer at a Time 📩 Subscribe to our newsletter for exclusive content & episode updates ⭐ If this episode resonated with you, leave a review and share it with a friend!   Website | Instagram | Facebook   Complete show notes here
