Learning to Trust Again with Lysa TerKeurst

Welcome back! This is a special day because my friend Lysa TerKeurst is on the show. She is talking about her new book, I Want to Trust You, but I Don't.  Who hasn't been in that situation? Who hasn't wanted to trust when we just don't feel like we can? 

This message is so good. Every time Lysa comes out with a new book, I'm always so excited to have her on the show and for us to talk about this with you because of the depth of her understanding and what she has gone through. The way she gives handles to women to pick up a message and carry it with them is so powerful. So you're going to get a lot from this. 

Lysa TerKeurst is president and chief visionary officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, Forgiving What You Can't Forget, and It's Not Supposed to Be This Way. 

In her new book, I Want to Trust You, but I Don't: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment, Lysa shares her proven formula for trust and how to enact it in any relationship. 

Join Lysa and I as we talk about:

• When and why did Lysa quietly give up on hope
• The secret to healing from betrayal and repairing trust
• Finding connections that are safe
• Differentiating between discernment and triggers

• 02:18 - “Trust issues are everywhere. Skepticism and cynicism are at an all-time high.” 
• 09:06 - “The bummer thing is broken trust makes us want to withdraw, but the only way to repair our trust is in the context of relationships.”
• 11:46 - “Our goal is to find connections that are safe connections.”
• 17:42 - “We will attract people on our same level of health. So if we want better people in our life, then we have to make sure that we've done our work on our side of the street and become more healed so that we will track people who are also more healed.”
• 19:30 - “Sometimes distrust is the wisest, most Christian choice to make.”
