Let’s Get Real with Justin and Trisha Davis

Ep 070: When Life Gets Messy: Finding God in the Middle of It All with Justin and Trish Davis


Listen Later

Let’s be honest, life rarely unfolds the way we want it to. Sometimes it’s not just one challenge, but layers of messes: financial struggles, relational breakdowns, unmet expectations, that pile on top of each other until everything feels overwhelming.

In this candid episode, Justin and Trish open up about what they call the messy middle. From a hilarious (and slightly cringe-worthy) vacation story Justin has never shared publicly before, to the very real struggles of shame, blame, and grief, this conversation explores what it looks like to stop hiding the mess and instead invite God into it.

You’ll discover:

  • Why the “quick fix” of sweeping problems under the rug doesn’t actually work
  • The danger of trying to “move on” instead of “moving through”
  • How grief can actually bring freedom and healing
  • Biblical insights on how God meets us in our most unfiltered, unsanitized places
  • If you’re walking through a season that feels overwhelming, this episode will remind you that your mess doesn’t disqualify you, it may just be the very place God wants to meet you.
