In Part 2 of this conversation, Karen Maldonado and Tyler King continue exploring the beautiful truth that God cares deeply about the things that matter to us. He sees our joys, our struggles, our relationships, and even the things that bring us sorrow.

They discuss what it means to allow God to lead us and speak to us through His Word, trusting that He is not distant or disconnected from the detailss of our lives.

Karen and Tyler also dive into the story of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and Paul’s journey, looking at the remarkable ways God was personally involved in guiding them, revealing Himself to them, and bringing people into their lives at exactly the right moment.

This episode is a reminder that God sees us, knows us, and cares about what we care about. Even when we don’t understand what He is doing, He is working behind the scenes and inviting us to trust His direction.

Join Karen and Tyler for Part 2 of this encouraging conversation about a God who sees us, hears us, cares about our sorrow, and lovingly leads us through His Word.

Karen and Tyler dive into two powerful biblical stories—Abigail and Hagar—to explore what narcissism, difficult relationships, obedience, and faith can teach us about hearing from God in the middle of painful circumstances.

Whether God is calling you to stay, to leave, to set a boundary, or simply to trust Him in the waiting, one thing remains true: He sees you, He is with you, and He has not forgotten you.

Through the stories of Abigail and Hagar, Karen and Tyler talk about recognizing God’s direction, choosing obedience even when it’s difficult, and trusting that His presence isn’t dependent on our circumstances. Because sometimes the hardest question isn’t “What should I do?”—it’s “God, what are You asking me to do?”

You are not unseen. You are not alone. El Roi—the God who sees you—is still with you.

In this episode, Karen and Tyler take an honest look at narcissism and its impact on relationships. They discuss boundaries, gray rocking, the silent treatment, manipulation, control, and the ways narcissistic behaviors can affect you.

This episode ends with a powerful prayer for anyone navigating the challenges of a difficult relationship.

After surviving a narcissistic relationship, it’s common to see red flags everywhere. What was once intuition can start to feel like suspicion. Every disagreement feels like manipulation. Every confident person seems dangerous. Every new relationship comes with a fear that you’re about to be deceived again.

In this episode, we talk about the difficult journey of healing after narcissistic abuse without becoming trapped in fear. How do you protect yourself without building walls around your heart? How do you stay discerning without becoming distrustful? And how do you move forward when past wounds make it hard to trust your own judgment?

We’ll explore the difference between wisdom and hypervigilance, why healing requires more than just spotting red flags, and how putting God first can help you find security that doesn’t depend on another person’s behavior. Healthy relationships are possible, and healing doesn’t have to mean living in fear.
