Episode at a Glance

Dealing with loss or betrayal can be devistating blows to our lives. But what should we do if we are faced with both?

I am so blessed to have Author Elisa Allison Sproule on as our guest today. Elisa shares her story of loss after the tragic death of her husband Clifford Allison and then several years later experiencing betrayal in a future relationship. It was in that valley of grief and heartbreak that she discovered the power of writing in a journal while reading Scripture.

Elisa shares that there is no fast fix for the emotional hurt that betrayal and loss can bring. However, we do not have to face this alone, and there is power in talking with God and reading His word in times of heartbreak. Through this, Elisa became the author of several books, including her latest book, Toxic Vows: Betrayal Speaks "You Are Not Enough" God Whispers "You Are Greater Than."
