    "When God's Version of Good Is Different From Ours" With Lysa TerKeurst and Kendra LeGrand

    One of the most challenging parts of trusting God is when He allows something to be a part of our stories that we don't understand or don't want to be true. Thankfully, in these moments, we can trace God's faithfulness to us in the past. We can surround ourselves with good Christian friends who will help us believe in the goodness of God. We can lean on the Holy Spirit to give us discernment for moving forward. Join Lysa TerKeurst and Kendra LeGrand as they discuss the reality that yes, sometimes our lives will take different turns from what we would have expected, but that doesn't mean different has to be bad. Related Resources: People who break our trust do not have the power to break apart God’s good plans for our lives.
