What happens when our desire to be responsible slowly turns into a need to control? Ginny welcomes bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst back to the podcast to discuss her new book, Making Peace with What I Can't Control. Drawing from years of heartbreak, uncertainty, loss, and healing, Lysa explores why highly responsible and caring people can become especially vulnerable to overthinking, fear, and trying to manage the people and circumstances around them. Lysa shares practical wisdom for recognizing the thin line between helping and enabling, setting healthy boundaries, and separating what we can responsibly influence from outcomes we simply cannot control. She also unpacks the psychology of fear, how past experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves, and why those narratives can keep us trapped in anxiety. Through deeply personal stories, including an extraordinary encounter that came full circle 24 years later, Lysa offers a powerful reminder that releasing control doesn't mean becoming passive. It means doing what is ours to do while learning to trust God with what isn't. A hope-filled conversation about fear, boundaries, relationships, healing, and finding peace in an unpredictable world.

We all struggle with control. We want to control outcomes, other people's choices, and what comes next. And when that burden becomes exhausting, we're often told to just “trust God” or “let go and let God.” But sometimes control isn't a power grab. Sometimes we try to manage people and circumstances precisely because we're responsible, capable, and caring—and because painful experiences have taught us to prepare for the worst. This week, Lysa TerKeurst joins Haley and Dustin to discuss her new book, Making Peace with What I Can't Control. Lysa is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and president and chief visionary officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries. She has walked her own long road through trauma, codependency, and the lingering anxiety that can show up as a need to manage everything and everyone. Lysa explains how trauma and fear can fuel our need for control, how the story of Judas challenged her desire to force an outcome, and what surrendering to God really means. If you feel responsible for managing people or situations, this conversation will help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface—and how to make peace with what you can't control.   Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.   So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means everything.   Hope Talks is a podcast of the ministry of Hope for the Heart.   Listen in  --------------   Resources from Lysa TerKeurst Get Lysa's new book, Making Peace with What I Can't Control: https://tinyurl.com/2wyawm46  Learn more about Haven Place Ministries: https://www.instagram.com/_havenplace/  Learn more about Lysa, her ministry, and resources: https://lysaterkeurst.com/    Hope for the Heart resources   Join us this fall at the Hope Together Conference!

Matthew 26:25 — "Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, 'Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?' Jesus answered, 'You have said so.'" Mark 10:21–22 — "Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said… At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth."

When we fight for control, it's rarely because we have an insatiable desire to play boss. Most often, fear is driving our behavior—especially when we’ve experienced situations that left us feeling powerless, uncertain and deeply wounded. After those experiences, we naturally want to do whatever we can to avoid landing in a similar crisis or painful spot. And so, we might overthink, try to fix other people or work harder to secure a particular outcome, while believing we’re simply being responsible and caring. So how can we recognize when healthy responsibility has crossed into control? In this episode, Jennifer Slattery talks with bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst about her latest release, Making Peace with What I Can't Control, and the fears that can drive controlling behavior and how to respond differently. Lysa shares how to distinguish responsibility from control, recognize the role our perceptions play in fear and focus our energy on what we actually can manage. She also discusses trusting God when we don’t understand what He’s allowing, remembering His past faithfulness and releasing outcomes into His capable hands.

Författaren bakom Hitchcocks succéfilmer Fåglarna och Rebecca är en mästare på att skildra det obehagliga starkt och realistiskt. Ludvig Josephson slår ett slag för Daphne du Maurier. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publiceras 25/5 2017. Det är något drömlikt och tablåaktigt med Daphne du Mauriers skildringar av lyckliga tillfällen, av någorlunda normalitet och vardagstrivsel då katastrofen ännu inte inträffat. De liknar snarare idéer om lycka, normalitet och trivsel. Allteftersom det hos du Maurier ständigt lurande obehaget tränger sig på blir ljuden, bilderna och till och med dofterna mer påtagliga, inlevelsen starkare och stilen personligare. Modernista förlag har gett ut två böcker med äldre översättningar av du Mauriers verk: ”Fåglarna och andra noveller” samt romanen ”Rebecca” från 1938. Och det finns alla skäl att än en gång upptäcka den engelska författaren och dramatikern, som levde 1907 till 1989 och gärna lät sig inspireras av den trakt i Cornwall där hon bodde stora delar av sitt liv. I novellen ”Äppelträdet” blir en nyligen pensionerad tjänsteman änkling, då hustrun efter en kort tids sjukdom avlidit. Äktenskapet har varit olyckligt. Utan att någonsin gräla eller höja rösten har hustrun ideligen låtit maken förstå hur mycket hon vantrivs med tillvaron. De mest triviala vardagsbestyr har blivit till bördor som bokstavligen böjt och krökt henne. Onödiga och självpåtagna uppgifter, städmanier, inköpsrundor och andra plikter har utförts med ständigt antydda förebråelser mot maken och alla hans försök att avlasta hustrun har bestämt avvisats med ännu mer skuldbeläggande. När hustrun dör kommer maken snart över det. Pensionerad från sitt kontorsslaveri och med ordnad ekonomi ska han nu ägna sig åt att äta ute, gå på bio och göra en ordentlig semesterresa i det efter Andra Världskriget nu någorlunda återuppbyggda Europa. Men det dröjer inte länge innan han lägger märke till att ett av äppelträden i trädgården faktiskt påminner om den avlidna hustrun. Det avviker från de andra friska träden med sin knotighet och brist på frukt. Och istället för att njuta av tillvaron så som han tänkt, ger sig änklingen in i en allt mer besatt kamp mot äppelträdet som inte lämnar honom någon som helst ro. Och, än en gång, det är något ytligt och klichéartat i skildringarna av hur änklingen turistar i Italien och vågar sig på att bjuda upp unga flickor till dans på en piazza. Interiörerna från det lokala värdshuset, med sitt trivsamma småprat och lugna fryntlighet känns mer som hämtat från en turistbroschyr än en verklig upplevelse. Medan den utförliga beskrivningen av hur hustrun, medan hon ännu är i livet, nästan driver honom från vettet med sina ständiga demonstrativa gäspningar är nästan obscen i sin realism och tydlighet. Som om allt det vackra och roliga i livet ligger oåtkomligt som i ett sånt där påskägg med titthål. Mera ett önsketänkande än något verkligt. Föraningen, obehaget, den brutala fasan är det verkliga, då varenda detalj plötsligt blir synlig och minsta ljud hörbart. Lukterna blir kväljande och sticker i näsan. Paradoxalt nog är det ofta när händelseförloppet hos Daphne du Maurier övergår i det orimliga eller rent hallucinatoriska, som den där känslan av verklighet börjar inträda. I novellen ”Titta inte nu” möter vi det gifta paret som försöker få lite andrum från sorgen efter ett förlorat barn med en semester i Venedig. De solbelysta piazzorna och de pittoreska kanalerna med sina gondoler flimrar distanserat, som om det bländande ljuset skymmer detaljseendet. Först när det skymmer och paret går vilse blir staden synlig och påtaglig. Mycket av händelserna kommer att kretsa kring en syn som mannen får, ett varsel som det ska visa sig. Illusionen är så verklig i sin detaljrikedom att den förleder mannen att ställa till med en ordentlig oreda, där han drar in polis, hotellpersonal och ett par excentriska gamla tvillingsystrar. I den avslutande berättelsen, titelnovellen ”Fåglarna”, går vi från de oroande aningarna och förebuden rakt in i den slutliga katastrofen. Och här är den inte privat och personlig, även om vi följer händelseförloppet genom den heroiskt kämpande familjen Hocken. Nu är det hela samhället och kanske resten av världen som drabbas, då fåglar av alla sorter gemensamt bestämt sig för att invadera hus och hem och attackera allt i sin väg. Från det första olycksbådande knackandet av en näbb på familjen Hockens sovrumsfönster skenar händelseförloppet mot undantagstillstånd och samhällskollaps. Annars trivsamma småfågelarter som kvittrar anspråkslöst i häckar och på åkrar, rasslar nu i flaxande pickande drivor över takets tegelpannor och svärmar in genom fönster och rökgångar i kollektivt ursinne. Liken efter starar och gärdsmygar som störtat in väggar och fönsterrutor ligger travade ända in i familjens förstuga. Och tolkningsmöjligheterna står nästan på kö. Det mer än antyds att de invaderande fågelsvärmarna kan uppfattas som en effekt av såväl rubbningar i det arktiska klimatet som av det hotande tredje världskriget. Precis som ”Fåglarna” blev även romanen ”Rebecca förlaga till en av Hitchcocks mest kända filmer. Här är det inte bara olyckorna och mardrömmarna som gör berättelsen alltmer synlig och tydlig allteftersom de hopar sig. Själva huvudpersonen Rebecca, som vi aldrig möter men som är ständigt närvarande, är till en början osynlig just genom att alla som känt henne, med den demoniska hushållerskan fru Danvers i spetsen, prisar och lovsjunger henne så till den grad att läsaren inte får något som helst grepp om vem hon kan ha varit. Sikten grumlas ännu mer av den änklingens alla tvångsmässiga tabun kring den döda, som han också tvingar på sin nyblivna flickhustru. Nya tabun byggs kring de gamla och Rebecca blir än mer otydlig, tills hon mera är en idé än en tidigare levande person. Först när sanningen om hennes verkliga karaktär uppenbaras får vi syn på människan bakom legenden. Hon får plötsligt ett utseende och en personlighet. På samma sätt som det idylliska slottet Manderley med sina ägor får någon sorts påtaglighet först när dimman tätnar och trädgården bara tillfälligt lyses upp i skenet från nödraketerna från det grundstötta skeppet i havsviken, den kväll som är början till slutet för alla de lögner och illusioner som försänkt godset i ett slags tvingande halvslummer. Att läsa du Maurier är lite som att ställa sig frågan ”Om du och jag bytte sinnen med varandra, skulle vi känna igen världen då?” Vistas vi i samma verklighet? Kan vi lita på våra intryck? Det enda rimliga sättet att förhålla sig till den tanken utan att bli galen, är att till slut, som kvinnan i novellen ”De blå linserna”, ödmjukt böja sig för att det är så här världen ser ut – för mig. Oavsett hur den upplevs av alla andra får man finna sig tillrätta i sin egen illusion, acceptera den och leva i den så gott det går. För vad var egentligen en illusion? Så som världen såg ut innan en oförutsedd händelse, eller så som den efter denna händelse plötsligt framstår?

Sissy Goff and David Thomas sit down with Lysa TerKeurst for a meaningful conversation about making peace with what we can't control—especially as parents. Lysa shares what she's learned through raising five children, walking through divorce, and now becoming a grandmother, including the importance of keeping kids talking, releasing the need to control outcomes, and allowing children to experience consequences and build resilience. She reminds parents that their children's mistakes don't define their parenting and encourages families to create a strong sense of belonging, pursue their own growth, and trust God with what they ultimately cannot control.

There's a particular kind of courage it takes for a Nine to write a book called Good Boundaries and Goodbyes — and Lysa TerKeurst has earned every word of it. Join us as we revisit Ian's conversation with the New York Times bestselling author to explore what it actually looks like to wake up from the Nine's trance of self-forgetting, find your voice, and learn to hold the line with compassion and clarity. Lysa gets honest about her own journey: the years of codependency during a long marriage marked by addiction and affairs, the discovery that boundaries aren't walls but communication tools, and the slow, non-linear work of learning to stop diminishing herself to cover for someone else's worst behavior. This episode is essential listening — not only for Nines but for anyone who has ever struggled to say no, set a limit, or walk away from a relationship that was taking more than it was giving. In this episode, Ian and Lysa discuss: The Nine's tendency to self-forget — and how that looks in conflict, breakups, and daily decisions Lysa's defining mantra: "I will no longer diminish the best of who I am to cover up for the worst of who someone else is." Practical scripts for saying no: "While my heart says yes, the reality of my time makes this a no." The difference between compassion and clarity — and why a Nine needs both How codependency shows up differently in Twos vs. Nines (and why they're so often confused) The dangerous pattern of spiritual bypassing — and how Lysa's therapist called it out Especially rich for Enneagram Nines and Twos — but every type will find something here worth writing down.     To learn more about Lysa Terkeurst visit www.lysaterkeurst.com or find her on Instagram and Facebook.  You can also pre-order her new book "Making Peace With What I Can't Control" here.

When Lysa TerKeurst experienced the painful, unwanted end of her nearly 30-year marriage, she found herself asking hard questions and searching Scripture for real answers. She didn't just need comfort—she needed clarity, truth, and a way forward. On today's episode of the 4:13, Lysa shares the resource she wishes she had during that season and tackles some of the most difficult questions many women quietly carry: Does God hate divorce? How do I move forward when I'm still angry? How do I rebuild a life I never envisioned? She'll walk you through what the Bible says about divorce, correct some of the misguided messages often accepted, and assure you that you are not alone—even if it feels that way. So, whether you're walking through a divorce right now, still carrying pain from years ago, or loving someone who is in the throes of it all, this conversation offers hope, truth, and practical steps for the road ahead.

This one is for the woman who's ready to tell the truth and still choose hope. Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Lysa TerKeurst to unpack the difference between privacy and secrecy, how to hold both therapy and theology, and why Jesus invites us to feel our feelings and still surrender. They get real about the "fact and impact" of trauma, forgiveness as God's prescription, boundaries that protect your healing, and what it takes to open your heart again after the death of a marriage. They even walk through Mark 14, reframe "God hates divorce," and talk self-forgiveness, codependency, and finding someone who has "done the work." Lysa also shares about her new book, Surviving an unwanted divorce, releasing November 11. Tap in for wisdom, language for your pain, and the faith to move forward.
