    Lysa TerKeurst on Broken Trust, Blaming, and How to Move Forward- Episode 927

    This is Lysa Terkeurst’s 4th time here on the podcast and she’s that friend to all of us who just isn’t afraid to talk about the real and hard things that she’s walked through and what God’s taught her through it. Her brand new book came out this week… it’s called I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t… so we’re going in on broken trust and what to do with it. After several painful friendship breakups, the death of her marriage and other devastating betrayals, Lysa realized she was caught in a cycle of distrust and this book is the journey to figuring out how to move forward from it.  I have no doubt there’s someone who’s broken your trust before (and maybe even recently), so you’re going to learn a ton from this book and this friend. . . . . .

    He's the Best God of My Life with Mack Brock- Episode 925

    Today on the show, I get to catch up with one of my favorite dudes, Mack Brock. This is Mack’s third time back with us, but his first time flying solo! He and his wife, Meredith, have been here twice for our couples series in 2019 and 2021. I have no doubt you’re already listening to Mack’s music and probably singing them at church, but don’t even realize he wrote them. Mack was one of the founding members of Elevation Worship, but we get to talk about his brand new full-length album that just released last week called This is Holy. Y’all. The lyrics. The music. The song his daughter got to be a part of. We’re going to talk about all of it.  . . . .

    The Anti-Aging Trend is... A Bit Much with Lyndsay Rush- Episode 921

    Today on the show, get ready to laugh. My longtime friend Lyndsay Rush is here, but you may know her better from her instagram accounts: rushbomb or maryoliversdrunkcousin. Lyndsay is hysterical and found herself writing poems on social media that eventually turned into a book deal, and this week, Lyndsay’s very first book of published poetry releases called, A Bit Much. We talk about getting older, moving, friendships changing, and the gift poetry gives you to think. Lyndsay and I became friends when she first moved to Nashville (over a decade ago) and it’s been so much fun to see her superpower gift of words and wit turn into a book we can hold and read. . . . .
