What if your story of suffering isn’t disqualifying—but the very space where Jesus meets you? In this powerful and grace-soaked episode of Hey Tabi, I sit down with the one and only Elyse Fitzpatrick - author, counselor, and fierce advocate for the unloved and unseen.

We dive deep into:

• Why the gospel is more than behavior modification
• How the church has mishandled women’s stories
• The truth about Gomer, identity, and self-destruction
• How legalism sneaks into our hearts, even when we know better
• Why trauma-informed theology matters
• Holding both grace and truth in messy, beautiful tension

Elyse also shares the story behind her new book Unloved: The Rejected Saints God Calls Beloved, and we talk about what it means to find hope when life hasn’t turned out the way you were promised it would.

This one’s for every woman who wonders if she’s too broken, too messy, or too far gone. Spoiler alert: you’re not. Jesus sees you—and He calls you beloved.
