Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it’s also what trips us up after we’ve been burned. When tragic situations occur, you may be wondering, “If God can let this happen, can He be trusted?” Lysa TerKeurst believes building and rebuilding trust isn’t simply about finding better people to walk with; it’s about developing stability within and with God so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. Based on her new book I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t, Lysa explores eleven relational red flags – the difference between discernment and triggers, trusting God when you struggle with painful outcomes, trusting God when people hurt you and get away with it, the secret to healing, and more.
