It's a catch up, it's a made up game show, it's a slew of trivia and misinformation. Hope you are attracted to tummy chucks, because they are coming at you right now in this wacky episode! And here's your witches: Lysa, Shelley and Darryl!

Playspaces are often dismissed as “nice-to-haves” with their colorful swings, slides, and monkey bars, but KABOOM! was founded on the urgent belief that they are an essential community infrastructure. The organization's origin traces back to a tragic moment when two children lost their lives playing in an abandoned car because there was nowhere safe to play in their neighborhood. That devastating inequity sparked a movement to ensure that where a child lives does not determine whether they have access to safe, joyful play. Today, as KABOOM! celebrates 30 years, the organization has evolved from building individual playgrounds to advancing a data-driven, systems-level strategy to end playspace inequity for good.We invited Lysa Ratliff, CEO of KABOOM!, to talk about why play is a critical investment in children's futures and how meaningful, lasting impact happens when communities shape the solutions themselves. In this episode, Lysa shares how KABOOM!'s co-creation model ensures that playgrounds are designed with kids and neighbors, not simply delivered to them, leading to deeper stewardship and significantly higher usage. She also explores how collective action by residents, municipal leaders, and corporate partners helps scale long-term transformation. And importantly, she highlights the environmental and public health dimensions embedded in today's playground design. At its core, this work makes clear that designing for children is one of the most powerful strategies for shaping stronger communities and a more equitable future.Listen for insights on:Co-creating with residents for lasting neighborhood ownershipBuilding cross-sector partnerships that endureEmbedding climate resilience into community infrastructure Watch this episode on YouTube!Resources + Links:Lysa Ratliff's LinkedInWhat Is Playspace InequityThe City of Uvalde and KABOOM!

If you've ever sat down to pray and felt unsure of what to say — or wondered whether God is actually listening — this episode is for you.In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Kaley Olson and Cailah Garcia sit down with Lysa TerKeurst to talk about what prayer really is: not a performance, not perfect words, but daily dependence on a God who is already near.Together, they explore how to pray when you're spiritually tired, how to discern whether you're hearing God or just your own thoughts, and why asking for “daily bread” might be the most grounding prayer you can pray. If you've been wrestling with big unanswered prayers or quiet doubts, this episode gently reminds you that Jesus already came close to you — and He is not waiting for you to have it all together before you come to Him.You'll learn:Why prayer is meant to be a conversation — not a performance.How praying Scripture helps you align your heart with God's will.A simple daily prayer Lysa prays before her feet hit the floor.How to discern whether a thought is consistent with God's Word and His ways.Resources From This Episode:Come Close to Jesus: What to Pray When You Need the Lord to Still Your Thoughts, Calm Your Heart, and Guide Your Way by Lysa TerKeurst.

In this episode, I reflect on Colossians 3:12–14 and how these verses shape the way we should relate to our spouse. Rather than focusing on romance or shared interests, we look at the daily habits of compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love that actually strengthen a marriage over time. This matters for for our own sake but also as parents, because the health of our marriage forms the emotional and spiritual environment our children grow up in. Heart-focused Action Step - for your Marriage: Ask God to show you which attitude from Colossians 3 you need to "put on" in your marriage this week, and practise responding with that one intentionally.   Read the blog here:   How to Strengthen Your Marriage According to the Bible    Recommended Resources on Marriage, Forgiveness & Boundaries If you are navigating a healthy marriage and want to strengthen it biblically, or if you are working through more complex challenges like forgiveness, emotional harm, or boundaries, here are a few trusted resources I often recommend.

Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel Muddamalle talk about what it means to trust God when life doesn't go as planned. Through biblical teaching and personal stories—including Lysa's own journey through the painful end of her marriage—they explore how broken trust, loss, and uncertainty can shake our confidence, but also how God consistently proves Himself faithful. They discuss practical ways to keep trusting Him by staying rooted in His Word, following the Spirit's leading, and surrounding ourselves with godly community. This conversation is an honest and hope-filled reminder that even in our hardest seasons, God's character remains steady and He will faithfully carry us through.LINKSCruise with Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel MuddamalleI Want to Trust You, But I Don't Surviving an Unwanted DivorceMore resources from Lysa TerKeurstHaven Place Ministries RECOMMENDED: Check out our recommendations of what to do at each stop on the cruise with Lysa and Joel. Hosted by Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon with guests Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Joel Muddamalle.CONNECT WITH US!Marked is a podcast from Lifeway Women.  Learn more about the CSB Women's Study Bible.

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.

No matter what your professed faith is, it has to be lived through relationships. It's unavoidable. Faith without interaction with other image bearers will inevitably be weak. But it's in the most intimate and close relationships that we are tested and tried to our very limits. Best-selling Christian author Lysa TerKeurst bares her soul in her books, bringing to light our greatest wants and needs. She's been frank and open about her divorce from the man who just a few years ago, she renewed vows with after the union of two decades went sour. On this episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Lauren revisits her conversation with Lysa on her book, "Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are." Love is complicated. It's the one lesson any spouse or parent learns, oftentimes, the hard way. But it can also bring us closer to understanding who we are, while strengthening and loving who we are meant to be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week we're discussing the idea that You're Worth a Life Reimagined Divorce can make it feel like your story is over…like joy, purpose, and belonging are things of the past. The shame and stigma can convince you that you're somehow disqualified from hope. But what if your worth didn't end with that loss? What if you're still fully capable of building something new, beautiful, and whole? Today, we cover three main points: How to reimagine a life you still deserve How to create belonging for your kids in a new season How the church can better support solo parents and those healing from divorce Lysa TerKeurst, President and Chief Visionary Officer, Proverbs 31 Ministries, shares her story of heartbreak and resilience, describing the end of her 29-year marriage as the "death of the future" she thought she'd have. Through small, faithful steps, she learned to rebuild her life piece by piece. She reminds us that God's heart is not against those who've endured divorce but for their protection and restoration. Lysa also challenges churches to move beyond fear and become safe places for single parents, places where people can heal, belong, and find hope again. And for parents navigating the aftermath, she offers this reminder: different doesn't mean bad. Creating new traditions and inside jokes can restore stability and joy for your children, even when life looks unfamiliar.

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.
