Guest Bio: Married since 1986, Ron and Nan Deal are the authors of the #1 Amazon bestselling book The Mindful Marriage: Create Your Best Relationship Through Understanding and Managing Yourself, as well as popular marriage conference speakers. Ron is the bestselling author of more than a dozen books and resources, a licensed marriage and family therapist, podcast host, and a Senior Director for the ministry of FamilyLife®. Nan retired from teaching after 25 years and currently works for a Christian non-profit ministry. They have three sons, a daughter-in-law, one grandson, and a golden retriever and live in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Show Summary: Have you faced a breaking point within your marriage or a close relationship? How did you handle it? Ron and Nan Deal faced intense hardship when their twelve-year-old son passed away. As they've navigated the loss, they've discovered practical truths about marriage that they feel are important for everyone to know when it comes to approaching relational hardship. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni for this insightful God Hears Her conversation as they learn how to handle conflict and pain while trusting God.   Notes and Quotes:  “The flesh is the biblical word for that part of us that just goes into automatic reaction mode. We now know, neurologically, that there's a whole lot of stuff going on inside the brain. The body keeps the score and the brain tells the body how to make sense of that score so anytime you feel any threat to not feeling loved or not feeling emotionally safe in a relationship, it taps into some things that are hardwired into your brain and body by the time you're an adult—probably hardwired by the age of two.” —Ron Deal  “Your body may keep the score, but your mind gets to tell you how to respond to the score.” —Ron Deal  “What God is inviting me to do is to be self-controlled, to discipline me, and bring a better me to our us.” —Ron Deal  “With God's help, I can live out of His spirit. But I've had to ask and pray and surrender.” —Nan Deal  “It truly is a work that He will do in you. Five to six years ago, I was a slave to my emotions and my circumstances. I listened to the enemy and I believed the lies and then the lies became truth. It's not an easy fix or an easy unraveling, but it's a daily walk now.” —Nan Deal  “You have to figure out . . . who is this God and how do I serve Him when I hate my circumstances?” —Ron Deal  “What I know is that God has been there every second. Even when I turned my back on him and said, ‘You are untrustworthy, I don't love you anymore, I'm doubting in you, where were you, you didn't show up the way I wanted.' Even in all of that, when I hit bottom and surrendered, He said, ‘I never left you. I love you. Please let me show you that. We're going to go now on a journey of you learning to trust in me . . . holding my hand even if life doesn't look the way you want it to look.'

What if the missing piece in your faith or relationships isn't more effort—but empathy? Justin and Trish are joined again by psychologists and spiritual directors Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, founders of Soul Shepherding, to talk about their new book Deeply Loved. Together, they explore how empathy helps us experience God's love on a heart level, why many Christians struggle with shame and emotional honesty, and how biblical empathy leads to healing, growth, and healthier relationships. This conversation addresses common misunderstandings about empathy, including the idea of “toxic empathy,” and offers practical ways to pair empathy with truth and responsibility. If you long to feel deeply known, deeply loved, and more connected to God and others, this episode is for you.

Guest Bio: Justin and Trisha Davis are pastors, authors, and founders of RefineUs Ministries. After experiencing the pain of broken trust and the near collapse of their marriage, by God's grace they found hope and restoration. Their passion is equipping individuals, couples, and churches to break destructive patterns, live with authenticity, and build emotionally healthy relationships.

Justin and Trisha live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and have five kids.  Show Summary: Have you experienced the end of a relationship? Maybe a friend walked away from you, a family member cut you out of their life, or you went through a breakup or even a divorce? Justin and Trisha Davis were separated and on the verge of ending their marriage. They had two paths in front of them: divorce or restoration. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn how God restored Justin and Trisha's marriage and refined both their hearts during this God Hears Her conversation.  Notes and Quotes:  “When you get to a place in your relationship—it doesn't matter what relationship it is—and you give and you give and you give and what you think you deserve in return isn't reciprocated, a sense of entitlement starts to live in your heart and that person can never repay you all that you think that they owe.” —Justin Davis  “You can't heal a wound you don't give a name to.” —Justin Davis  “Rock bottom is still solid surface to stand. God is unshakable. He is our solid foundation. Even when the world wipes us out, when relationships wipe us out, God is our firm foundation.” —Trisha Davis  “We were so concerned with building the church, we forgot to build into each other and build into who we were.” —Justin Davis  “There is a journey that we have to allow people to go on. On that journey, eventually you see your prism of pain as how God shows up so much brighter—in different arrays of color that we couldn't see with our rose-colored glasses.” —Trisha Davis  Verses:  Hebrews 12:5-11  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 40 – Out of the Dust: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/out-of-the-dust/ GHH Ep 145 – Sitting on the Sidelines with Bethany Toney: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/sitting-on-the-sidelines/ GHH Ep 168 – Walking Through Infidelity with Jami Nato: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/walking-through-infidelity/  Links:  The Davis's Website: https://justinandtrisha.com/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM

In this honest and personal episode, Justin and Trish talk about life transitions, burnout, and the rhythms they wish they had established much earlier in their marriage, faith, and family life. From becoming grandparents to navigating grad school, empty nesting, work demands, and emotional exhaustion, they talk candidly about how unrealistic expectations, people-pleasing, and one-size-fits-all solutions can quietly erode our peace. Rather than focusing on goals, this conversation centers on healthy rhythms, understanding your season of life, and making small but meaningful changes that protect your emotional, spiritual, and relational health. If you feel tired, stretched thin, or unsure how to create sustainable rhythms in this season, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and take a healthier next step.

In the final episode of Season 7, Justin and Trish close out 2025 with one of their favorite annual conversations: reflecting on the year that's ending and preparing intentionally for the year ahead. This episode is equal parts honest, hilarious, and deeply vulnerable as they unpack the real stories, real struggles, and real growth that shaped their year—personally, spiritually, and relationally. Justin shares why fulfilled is the word that best captures his 2025, the surprising journey back to seminary, running a half marathon, and rediscovering purpose after seasons of disorientation and loss. Trish opens up about her word for the year—roller coaster—and what it was like to experience grief, joy, transition, and pressure all in rapid succession. Together they dive into: Why fulfillment is different from contentment How grief, transition, and healing shaped their choices Why they ditched resolutions years ago—and what they do instead The power of setting goals rooted in identity rather than shame If you're entering the new year feeling hopeful, hesitant, exhausted, overwhelmed, or ready for change—this episode will help you breathe, reflect, and take your next step with intention.

In today's episode of Let's Get Real, Justin and Trish dive into the truth behind “stuckness” — why we find ourselves in the same patterns again and again, and what God invites us to do when we feel trapped. Justin shares from his own story about the slow drift into feeling stuck, the emotional and spiritual lies that keep us from moving forward, and how small steps of honesty can open the door to big transformation. Trish brings wisdom and compassion as she unpacks why we avoid change and how vulnerability can be the key that unlocks healing. If you've ever felt hopeless about a relationship, discouraged by repeated cycles, or afraid to take the next step… this episode will breathe life and courage into your journey. You're not as stuck as you think you are — and we'll help you see where God is already inviting you to move.

Today, we're joined by Justin (8w7) and Trisha Davis (3w2), a couple whose story holds both heartbreak and a hard-won hope. We talk honestly about the Eight–Three dance in marriage—intensity, drive, image, and protection—and how those same strengths can be magic when we're healthy and toxic when we're not. We also dive into their new book, One Choice Away from Change: Break the Cycles that Hurt Your Relationships and Hold You Back. They remind us that real transformation isn't about muscling through—it's about naming the wound, choosing presence over performance, and practicing honest vulnerability. Justin shares how confusing help with weakness fueled secrecy and performance—and how grief became a doorway to healing. Trisha reflects on the Three's chameleon move, learning to show up without over-achieving, and a wise reframing of the Enneagram as “not a weapon and not an excuse.” Together, they walk us through surviving an affair, pastoring through COVID, late-in-life family revelations, and the truth that forgiveness is not a one-and-done event. Their North Star: when they're healthy, they're magic; when they're not, they're toxic—and daily choices make the difference. If you've tried to achieve your way out of pain or sprinted past grief because it felt inefficient, this conversation will meet you in the messy middle. We explore relief vs. recovery, acting our way into new feelings, and why you can't heal a wound you won't name. It's tender, practical, and full of hope.  I hope you'll tune in.      About our guests Justin and Trisha Davis are pastors, authors, speakers, and the founders of RefineUs Ministries. They're not perfect. They're not interested in pretending. They are passionate about helping others experience real healing and deeper connection. Together, they co-authored Beyond Ordinary: When a Good Marriage Just Isn't Good Enough, and Justin's book Being Real > Being Perfect: How Transparency Leads to Transformation is a USA Today bestseller. Justin and Trisha have been married for 30 years, have five kids and live in Indianapolis.

Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we're wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis. Their story? It's real. It's raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha's best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God's grace… restoration. Here's the thing… not every hard season happens because of choices we make. A medical diagnosis. A failed business. A struggling child. Family drama. A pandemic. These moments can easily pull us apart or force us to stand together even closer. Justin & Trisha remind us that marriage works best when you choose to face challenges as a team instead of as enemies. We talk about the importance of honesty, vulnerability and turning towards your spouse when things get tough.  This episode is full of practical wisdom and a whole lot of grace. I hope you are encouraged.

In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, Justin and Trisha Davis open up about their journey through love, ministry, and the real struggles that nearly tore their marriage apart—including infidelity and hidden personal battles. With vulnerability and wisdom, they share how counseling, truth-telling, and taking ownership became the turning points in their healing. Trisha shares what it looked like to face the pain of betrayal trauma, while Justin reflects on the overwhelming guilt and the hard road to forgiveness. Together, they unpack how our stories, the words spoken over us, and the lies we believe about our worth can deeply affect how we show up in relationships. But this isn't just a story about pain—it's a story about redemption. About the power of grace, the courage it takes to grieve and heal, and the choice to believe that real transformation is possible. More than behavior change, they point to the heart—the deep, inner work that allows us to discover who we really are and who God has created us to be. Their story is a beautiful reminder that no matter how broken things may feel, healing and hope are always within reach.   Episode highlights: Rock bottom is still a solid surface to stand when you come alongside Christ. Intimacy is to be fully known and know that we're fully loved. You never cause someone to have an affair. The truth sets you free because it doesn't give any room for the enemy. Excavating our past helps us understand our present. Redemptive pain can lead to growth. Healthy relationships require vulnerability and trust. Transformation comes from God's grace and our choices.   Questions for reflection: 1. What small, everyday choices are we making in our marriage that could either be building connection—or slowly creating distance? 2. Are there areas of hiddenness in our relationship—past wounds, unspoken frustrations, or shame—that we need to bring into the light? 3. What does forgiveness look like in our relationship right now?   Quotes from today's episode: "I had to choose to be a truth teller myself." "You never cause someone to have an affair." "I believed I have to be perfect to be loved." "You can't today, but God still has a plan." "Healing is hard, but then it's worth it." "You are not as stuck as you think you are." "You have to stop gaslighting yourself to grieve." "The heart of the book is about what God can do."
