is it okay if I make an honest confession yeah please confession I love confession time we talked in the previous episode about betrayal and the last layer of betrayal we went through six layers of betrayal the last layer was how could God have seen this happening and he didn’t stop it and so some of the deepest betrayal I’ve ever felt is a misunderstanding of what God allows and so while I say my you know when I direct my trust toward God he provides a stability it has to be a faith in God that even when I see things

hope that we have have in our in our life in our relationships and just in our life in general and I think for me one of the outcomes of having trust that was broken in very significant human-to-human relationships is that I quietly started to quit on Hope yeah one of the things that I think is so fascinating Lisa about all of that is this passage of scripture in Luke chapter 24 especially as it relates to um like what happens when we feel like God is the one who has broken trust with us we God has L us down in this area and what I love about
