Mike Tyson is famous for saying, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the nose."

When suffering punches us in the nose, our plans - and clichés - don't hold. In this episode of Truth Talk Live, I explore why "drive-by ministry" fails and why true comfort begins with seeing people in their pain—just as Christ sees us.

You'll hear:

• My reflections from the ICU after Gracie's 98th surgery.

• The danger of empty phrases like "God has a plan" or "just trust Jesus."

• A listener in tears, struggling to accept God's forgiveness.

• A reminder from Scripture: not why, but who.

Gracie also sings Breathe on Me, Breath of God a cappella—an anchor of hope in moments when words fail.

If you've ever wondered what to say (or not say) when someone is in trauma, this episode points to solid ground in Christ.
