Episode 82: Being Refined and Redefined with Lysa TerKeurst


Listen Later

How could it be true that God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly?

I spent years trying to make God’s ways align with my definition of goodness, but nothing ever seemed to click. Finally, I realized I actually needed to redefine what goodness meant to me. It was not an easy process, let me tell you, but it has formed me for the better.

My friend Lysa has been on the same journey of redefining everything in a life that has upended every expectation she had. While our pain has taken completely different forms, she is my sister in suffering whose extraordinary character has been formed by hardship, not in spite of it. No one is more qualified to coach us on identity formation than Lysa TerKeurst.

I’m inspired and challenged by who she is today and who she is still becoming, and I think you will be too. You do not want to miss out on the goodness and grit today episode of The GoodHard Story Podcast. Here’s just a preview of what you’ll take away:

  • Identifying shame scripts in your life
  • What to do with the things that will never make sense to you
  • Making space for the sweetness of the unexpected
  • Selecting your soul’s board of directors
  • If you’re ready to become better instead of bitter because of your heartbreak, this episode is for you.
