   Number 1: Ep 242 - Healing After Deep Hurt in Marriage

   A painful marriage can leave wounds that affect far more than your relationship with your spouse. Rejection, betrayal, anger, and disappointment can begin shaping how you see yourself, how you respond to others, and even how you relate to God. In this episode, Lori talks with Bruce Hebel about what happens when hurt takes root in the heart. Bruce shares how unresolved wounds can shape our thoughts and reactions, keep us emotionally tied to painful experiences, and keep us from walking in the freedom God desires for us. You will learn how to recognize the deeper wounds beneath anger and resentment, why healing requires more than simply trying to forget what happened, and how surrendering those painful places to God can change the way you move forward. Your spouse's choices may have wounded you, but they do not have to define you. God wants to heal your heart, restore your peace, and help you live free.

   Number 2: Ep 241 - How Do I Forgive When My Spouse Keeps Hurting Me

   How do you forgive someone who has deeply hurt you, especially when they haven't apologized, or their behavior hasn't changed? In this episode, Lori talks with Toni Hebel of Forgiving Forward Ministries about the difficult work of forgiveness, the power of shame, and how God's grace enables us to love a spouse who has caused deep emotional wounds. Toni reminds us that forgiveness does not give someone permission to continue in sin. Instead, forgiveness allows us to release that person into God's hands and trust Him with the outcome. You'll also hear how shame can affect both the wounded spouse and the spouse who has caused the hurt. Toni shares an important truth: "Shame gives shame." When someone continually belittles, condemns, or puts others down, they may be speaking from the shame they carry. If you are struggling with resentment, waiting for an apology that may never come, or praying for a spouse who is carrying the weight of their own choices, this conversation will encourage you. Forgiveness doesn't erase what happened. It doesn't call sin acceptable. But through God's grace, forgiveness can loosen the grip that another person's actions have on your heart.

   Number 4: Ep 235 - Trusting God When His Promise Feels Delayed

   In this episode, we look at Genesis 15:1-21 and the tension many believers feel: How do we trust God who promises, but has not yet delivered? When our circumstances seem to contradict what God has said, waiting can feel confusing, painful, and discouraging. But Genesis 15 reminds us that God is not afraid of our questions. He invites us to look to Him in the delay, trust His timing, and rest in the certainty of His promises.
