Summary
Lysa TerKeurst joins us today for a second time on Pardon the Mess, and she’s coming in hot (that’s a good thing, BTW)!
I’m continually blown away by how the Lord is using the hard places Lysa has faced in her marriage and health to show his goodness and redemption so powerfully.
Lysa and I talk about so much today, but here are a few of my favorite discussion points:
- Forgiving what you can’t forget
- What forgiveness is and what it is not
- Reframing life’s struggles as a tension to manage, not a problem to solve
- Reminders that bad moments don’t make bad mamas
- The importance of “Seeing Beautiful Again” even when it’s complicated
One more thing: I had a Pardon the Mess first during this interview where I may or may not have cried at one point. I know, right?
But truth is powerful, and I’m so thankful that we have Lysa joining us on today’s show. Listen, share it with friends, and be encouraged!
