What happens when God speaks before the evidence shows up?

In this compelling and sobering episode, we unpack a prophetic word God gave Cher Butler—a word released in prayer, obedience, and humility, long before many of the shifts we now see unfolding began to surface. This is not sensationalism. This is not fear-driven prophecy. This is a call to discernment, preparedness, and spiritual sobriety.

Cher Butler shares how the Lord impressed this word upon her spirit with urgency and clarity. It was not given for attention or reaction, but as a warning wrapped in mercy—a reminder that God still speaks to His people, still prepares those who are willing to listen, and still calls the Church to wake up before it’s forced to.

This episode explores how prophetic words often make sense after the shaking begins. We talk honestly about the tension that comes when God speaks something uncomfortable—something that challenges complacency, exposes compromise, and calls believers back to the basics of prayer, holiness, and obedience.

The word addresses seasons of shifting, refining, and separating—where what is built on truth will remain, and what is built on convenience will not. It confronts the idea that Christianity can remain passive in a time that demands discernment and action.

Throughout the conversation, Cher Butler emphasizes that prophetic insight is not meant to produce fear, but clarity. Not panic, but positioning. Scripture reminds us that the Lord does nothing without revealing it first, and this episode takes that truth seriously—encouraging listeners to test everything against the Word of God, not emotions or trends.

We discuss: • Why God often speaks ahead of cultural and spiritual shifts • How to discern a true prophetic warning from background noise • The danger of ignoring God’s voice because it disrupts comfort • What it means to stay spiritually alert in unstable times • How believers can remain anchored when systems are shaken

This word challenges the Church to examine itself—not the world. Are we listening for God’s voice, or only voices that affirm us? Are we spiritually awake, or spiritually entertained? Are we prepared to obey when God speaks clearly?

Cher Butler shares this word not as a prediction, but as a call to readiness. It’s not about dates. It’s not about speculation. It’s about alignment—being rooted in truth, walking in humility, and staying close to God in a season where distraction is easy and discernment is rare.

If you’ve sensed a shift in the spirit… If you’ve felt a quiet warning beneath the noise… If you know God is calling His people deeper—

This episode is for you.

Listen prayerfully. Test everything by Scripture. Stay anchored.

When Life Breaks You… and God Rebuilds You

Podcast Description (≈4,000 characters)

Life doesn’t usually fall apart all at once. More often, it unravels quietly—through disappointment, loss, unanswered prayers, closed doors, and seasons that stretch longer than we ever expected. In this powerful and deeply honest episode, we sit down for a raw conversation about life, faith, resilience, and what it really looks like to keep trusting God when nothing around you makes sense.

This episode isn’t about polished Christianity or picture-perfect testimonies. It’s about the real moments—the hard days, the doubts, the waiting, the wrestling, and the decision to keep going even when quitting would feel easier. It’s a conversation for anyone who has ever asked, “God, where are You in this?” or “Why is this happening to me?”

Our guest, Katie Trosclair, opens up about her personal journey through life’s unexpected turns and the way God met her in moments of brokenness, uncertainty, and growth. Her story is not one of overnight miracles or instant solutions—but one of steady faith, surrendered trust, and learning to see God’s hand even in seasons of pain.

Throughout this conversation, we explore:

• What it means to trust God when life doesn’t follow your plan
• How faith matures in seasons of hardship, not comfort
• The difference between knowing about God and actually walking with Him
• Learning to let go of control and surrender outcomes to the Lord
• Finding purpose and clarity after disappointment and loss
• Why your story—no matter how messy—still matters

Katie shares how God used life’s interruptions to reshape her perspective, deepen her faith, and draw her closer to Him. She speaks candidly about learning obedience in the waiting, peace in uncertainty, and hope when circumstances didn’t immediately change. This episode reminds us that testimony doesn’t always come after the breakthrough—sometimes it’s formed right in the middle of the struggle.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, worn down, spiritually tired, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will resonate deeply. It’s an encouragement that God is still working, even when you don’t see it yet—and that your current season is not the end of the story.

This episode is for the listener who needs reassurance that faith is still worth it. That obedience still matters. That God is faithful—even in the silence. And that life’s hardest chapters often become the ones God uses most powerfully.

Whether you’re walking through loss, transition, healing, or simply trying to make sense of life, this episode offers truth, encouragement, and a reminder that God specializes in rebuilding what life tries to break.

🎧 Tune in, lean in, and be reminded: your story isn’t over—and God is not finished with you yet.

Episode Notes

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Faith Chats, Andrew sits down with Lisa Burkhardt Worley, founder of Pearls of Promise Ministries, to talk about healing, hope, and God’s ability to redeem even the most painful chapters of our lives.

Lisa’s story is one marked by both public success and private battles. With a background that includes nearly two decades as a national and local television sports anchor and reporter—covering everything from the NFL and NBA to the Winter Olympics—Lisa understands pressure, visibility, and performance. But behind the camera lights, God was doing a deeper work. Through personal trauma, emotional wounds, and spiritual battles, the Lord began shaping a calling that would eventually become Pearls of Promise.

In this conversation, Lisa shares how God took seasons of brokenness and turned them into a ministry devoted to helping women overcome emotional strongholds, grow in their faith, and walk in freedom. Pearls of Promise exists to remind women that God does not waste pain—He transforms it into purpose. Just as a pearl is formed through pressure, God refines His people through life’s hardest moments.

Andrew and Lisa discuss:

• What emotional and spiritual strongholds really look like
• How unhealed wounds can quietly shape our faith, decisions, and relationships
• Why many believers struggle silently instead of seeking healing
• The biblical process of surrender, renewal, and restoration
• How God uses obedience—often born out of pain—to bless others

Lisa also opens up about her passion for teaching women how to hear God’s voice, stand on His promises, and live anchored in Scripture rather than fear or shame. She shares why healing is not a one-time event, but a journey of daily dependence on Christ—and why the Church must do a better job of creating safe spaces for honest conversations.

This episode is especially for anyone who feels stuck, wounded, or weary—those who love God but still carry unresolved pain. Lisa’s testimony serves as a reminder that freedom is possible, healing is real, and God’s promises are trustworthy.

Pearls of Promise is more than a ministry—it’s a message: God sees you, God is near, and God is not finished with you yet.

If you’re searching for healing, longing for deeper faith, or wondering how God could ever use what you’ve been through, this conversation will encourage you to take the next step toward restoration.

💎 Pain doesn’t disqualify you. 📖 God’s promises still stand. 🔥 And healing begins when truth meets surrender.

Listen, share, and be reminded: what was meant to harm you, God can turn into something beautiful.
