No matter what your professed faith is, it has to be lived out through relationships. It's unavoidable. Faith without interaction with other image bearers will inevitably be weak. But it's in our most intimate and close relationships that we are tested and tried to our very limits. And the most intimate bond we have here on earth is marriage. But what happens when the person you promised to be with till death, reneges on so many of the assurances he or she vowed on that altar? When is divorce the only alternative? Best-selling Chrisitan author Lysa TerKeurst has bared her soul in her books, that bring to light our greatest wants and our greatest 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. TerKeurst learns from experience, which is why she is a valuable spiritual guide for both men and women. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, TerKeurst talks about 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. And loving someone in a godly way is the most difficult. It's also potentially the most painful. 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 megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we celebrate this month, we'll be revisiting a few of Ian's favorite episodes that show just how powerful the Enneagram is as a tool for personal transformation. In today's replay, we take a look at the adaptable, caring, and "go with the flow" nature of Enneagram Nines.  To keep the peace, Nines can over-accommodate in an unconscious effort to avoid conflict and "fall asleep" to their own needs.   Our guest, Lysa Terkeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Enneagram Nine, explains why it's important for The Peacemaker not to confuse the desire for peace with the disease to please and to recognize the delight of being yourself.

If you've heard of Proverbs 31 Ministries then you have definitely heard of Lysa TerKeurst who is one of our HeartStrong Faith 2020 speakers! To get you excited about the conference we wanted to share a clip of her speaking on how we are prone to steer where we stare and get fixated on things other than Christ.

I'm sure I have some sort of ADD although I've never been diagnosed. Reading the Bible has always been a challenge for me, and today I am sharing with you the ways I keep my routine going, even in a world of distractions.

If you are a Christian, you want to prioritize your time in God's Word. But, sometimes life gets busy and you can't seem to drag yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn...but maybe that's not your best time.

Enneagram Nines, or The Peacemakers, are adaptable, caring, supportive, and easygoing. Their "go with the flow" attitude acts as the manifestation of their need for internal and external peace at all times. To keep this peace, Nines often over-accommodate others in a unconscious effort to avoid conflict, and end up "falling asleep" to their own needs. But today, Lysa Terkeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Enneagram Nine, explains why it's important for The Peacemaker not to confuse the desire for peace with the disease to please.

Kaitlin Wernet joins me today on Thriving Beyond Belief and has such an amazing word for us today. Kaitlin is a storyteller surrendered to hope. Forever passionate about holding the tension of darkness and light, she is grateful for the good news that acknowledges and redeems both. Kaitlin is the co-author of The Book of Comforts, and she spends her days writing everything from marketing strategies to creative essays. Living in Nashville, Tennessee, by way of Asheville, North Carolina, she's always planning her next big travel adventure but vows to only plant roots in cities that rhyme. Kaitlin moved to Nashville to work For she reads truth; she is now a writer and working in marketing and online marketing. She has written a book called "The Book of Comforts" that comes out this month. This book came out of a time that was most devastating for Kaitlin. In a time where she felt she lost herself, her job at She Reads Truth led her to read the bible everyday, which was no accident for her. It really helped her stay anchored in her faith. She learned that the Christian community doesn't really open up a lot about pain and Kaitlin discusses finding those people in the faith that could help her walk through the hard season. The need for this book became apparent to her when searching for a book that would help her in her time of sorrow. This book is a beautiful metaphor of her experiences and sees grief as a ground where redemption will bloom. She also discovered truly seeing God for who He is in a time that made her question all that she had believed growing up. She has refreshing insight on encouraging those walking through hard seasons to bring pain to the forefront. The enemy wants us to feel isolated in our pain and not think anyone has gone through what we are walking through. He wants us to believe that even Christ cannot empathize with us. Pain and loss can also feel like weakness. Fear makes us think we can never show any weakness or low days, especially as believers. It makes us think that we aren't trusting God enough if we are sad. But the truth is that hardship is promised to us, and He has a purpose in EVERY season. Kaitlin speaks on the balance of having grief in her life. She talks about always carrying the tension of light and dark. But seeing her worst fear come true, she saw that God is still good and is daily learning to release control of her life. We think we can shield and things from happening if we worry about them. Fear is a liar. It makes us think we can't come back from a painful experience. But we actually get to the other side of grief and see that God is with us in every step. He's there on the other side too. The more we seek God, the less we need to know all of the answers. We end with Kaitlin speaking on some helpful advice for those who are walking with someone going through grief and some practical steps to make sure those people never feel alone. I hope this episode brings healing, community, and a deeper hope in who God is in each of your lives.

Do you ever wonder if all the things you do for your children is even making an impact? If the wisdom we try to impart actually sticks or if we're really cut out for this “mothering”  job after all? Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” As parents, this Scripture sounds promising, but being in the “thick of it” is tough!  Lysa TerKeurst deeply understands this feeling! In this podcast episode, she invites you in on a conversation between her and her three adult daughters where you'll hear a raw, honest, family conversation about raising children and what it was like being raised in the TerKeurst home. To read the transcript for this episode click here. You'll discover… A bad parenting moment today doesn't make you a bad parent forever. Creating an environment in your home for conversations that have a gentle balance of grace and truth will help your children be more open to sharing. Keeping your children talking, connected and reminded about God throughout the small things every day will help you raise up not only a good child, but a God-honoring adult.

Happy New Year Podcastees! In today’s episode we want to talk about what it means to be chosen. We are pulling this straight out of our missions verse: Colossians 3:12: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. We want to live out of that chosenness God has declared over us but sometimes it can be so difficult and discouraging when rejection is everywhere in our lives.

Lysa Terkeurst discusses leading through difficult personal times. In a relatively short period of time, Lysa experienced a major blow to her marriage and two life-threatening illnesses. What God taught her during that time likely won't make it onto a bumper sticker or cute Christian cliche. 

My guest today on the podcast is Lysa Terkeurst. Lysa is one of the founders of Proverbs 31 Ministries and for the past twenty years has touched thousands of women with this ministry. In our interview, we talk about how women walk in victory over things from their past, but still struggle with feelings that linger deep within their heart. Lysa encourages women to be on guard because Satan loves to pick up the old scripts that say, ‘you're not worthy, not good enough, not capable.’ It’s at these times we need to stand firm in our faith, affirm our identity is in Christ, and be confident that God is good at being God. These words are so powerful! I asked Lysa how she guides women to walk in assurance every day? She paints a beautiful picture using Psalm 51 to give us a fresh perspective. Not everyone can identify with being in a season of success or celebration, but everyone can identify, in some way, with being broken. In Psalm 51, David cries out to God about the brokenness in his life, asks God to cleanse him, and to create a new heart in him. For each of us, doing these steps allows God to begin to change and create a new heart in us. Lysa defined thriving this way,“Thriving is not how I feel each morning, but rather what choices I make for the day. Some days I don’t feel very good about life, but I can choose how I think about the day.” As a mom of five children, Lysa is a wealth of knowledge about being a mom, wife, successful woman, and finding your way through parenting. Proverbs 31 Ministries encourages women to choose a word for the year. Lysa’s word this year is beautiful. She describes an inspiring story about a set of antique doors that now hang in her bathroom, and why these doors inspired her to feel beautiful and put something beautiful in her line of sight every day. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to talk to Lysa. Here’s my interview with Lysa Terkeurst.
