Reading a passage of Scripture about trusting God is so easy, but actually living out trust isn't so easy, right?

Therapy & Theology: Why do I have trust issues?

For over 25 years Proverbs 31 Ministries' mission has been to intersect God's Word in the real, hard places we all struggle with. That's why we started this podcast. Every episode will feature a variety of teachings from president Lysa TerKeurst, staff members or friends of the ministry who can teach you something valuable from their vantage point. We hope that regardless of your age, background or stage of life, it's something you look forward to listening to each month!

"Let's Talk About Emotions" With Jennie Allen and Lysa TerKeurst

It's easy to follow God when it feels good or it's easy for us. But what about when it gets harder? When we get nervous or resistant to it? How do we stay faithful in what God has called us to do? On this episode, we are joined by missionary and podcaster Rachael Groll as she walks us through a teaching on the two parts of obedience. You'll have a better understanding of how taking steps of faith works and be able to better discern when it's time to make a move even when it's uncomfortable. We're saving this one to refer back to often. So hit play, and join this conversation.

“If You’re Ready To Grow … This Is for You” With Kaley Olson, Melissa Taylor and Kendra LeGrand

There's a lot of pressure as women to do it all and to do it all well. On the outside, we like to have it all together. But what does life look like when no one is watching? Does it look like our life is falling apart? How are we supposed to live in a way that honors God but at the same time rest? On this episode, you'll get to learn from our friend and Proverbs 31 staff member Taylor Stuart as she shares her own struggles of feeling like she was not doing enough. Through the book of James, she discovered there's a big difference between participating in a relationship with God and putting on a performance for Him and others. Grab something to take notes ... You'll want them for this one!
