In this tender and hope-filled episode, Justin and Trish sit down with Kara Stout—writer, wife, and new adoptive mom living in Los Angeles—to talk about what it looks like to pursue an untroubled heart in a world that feels anything but calm.

Kara shares honestly about walking through an artery dissection, financial struggle, infertility, the loss of both parents (including her mom’s cancer journey), and an adoption that fell through—before God brought their daughter Nora into their family. Out of that deep well of suffering and God’s faithfulness came her new devotional, The Untroubled Heart: Calming Anxiety and Finding God’s Purpose.

If you’re overwhelmed by the news cycle, carrying quiet grief, or waiting on God to move in a situation that feels stuck, this conversation will remind you that you can bring all of it to Him—and that waiting on God is not passive.

In this heart-to-heart conversation, Justin and Trish sit down with author and podcaster Rachael Adams (The Love Offering Podcast) to talk about what it really means to live loved by God in the middle of real life—busy schedules, insecurity, comparison, and all.

Rachael shares the simple but profound church-pew moment that changed everything for her, how God used loneliness and small acts of obedience to shape her calling, and why it’s so hard for us to love ourselves even when we know all the “right answers.” If you’ve ever felt too insignificant, too broken, or too behind for God to use you, this episode will breathe hope into your soul.

In today’s episode of Let’s Get Real, Justin and Trish dive into the truth behind “stuckness” — why we find ourselves in the same patterns again and again, and what God invites us to do when we feel trapped.

Justin shares from his own story about the slow drift into feeling stuck, the emotional and spiritual lies that keep us from moving forward, and how small steps of honesty can open the door to big transformation. Trish brings wisdom and compassion as she unpacks why we avoid change and how vulnerability can be the key that unlocks healing.

If you’ve ever felt hopeless about a relationship, discouraged by repeated cycles, or afraid to take the next step… this episode will breathe life and courage into your journey. You’re not as stuck as you think you are — and we’ll help you see where God is already inviting you to move.

What do you do when the child you raised no longer wants a relationship with you? In this deeply moving episode of the Let’s Get Real Podcast, we sit down with Sally Harris, a coach and mentor to moms navigating the pain of estrangement from their adult children.

Sally shares her powerful story of losing connection with her daughter for nearly a decade, hitting her own rock bottom through alcohol dependence, and finding freedom the moment she surrendered fully to God. She opens up about the shame, guilt, and isolation many moms feel, and how healing begins with one courageous choice to focus on personal health, community, and faith.

This conversation is raw and real. Whether you’re a parent experiencing estrangement, an adult child navigating brokenness with a parent, or a friend walking alongside someone in pain, Sally’s wisdom will give you hope and practical steps forward.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in relational pain, this episode will remind you: change doesn’t start with fixing someone else; it starts with one choice to surrender your own heart to God’s healing.

What does it really mean to wait on God? To open our hands, release control, and trust His timing? In this conversation, Vivian Mabuni invites us into her story of returning to seminary later in life, writing her book Open Hands, Willing Heart, and learning to surrender with both courage and clarity.

Vivian shares how waiting isn’t passive—it’s a steady, patient readiness that allows God to settle our hearts and bring clarity. She talks about what it means to live with a posture of surrender, not as resignation but as faithful obedience. We also explore the role of proximity and presence and why being with people who are different from us shapes our compassion, changes our language, and deepens our leadership.

If you’ve ever wrestled with timing, struggled to let go of control, or wondered how to walk more faithfully in your calling, Vivian’s wisdom will encourage and challenge you in all the right ways.

In this powerful conversation, Trisha sits down with Cristina Baker to talk about her incredible journey from brokenness and addiction to freedom and faith in Christ. Cristina vulnerably shares her past struggles, including her arrest, suicidal thoughts, and feelings of hopelessness, and how God radically transformed her life.

Together, they discuss:

Cristina’s story is a beautiful reminder that no one is too far gone, and that God’s love meets us in our darkest moments.

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.
