Episode 255: What Happens When You Truly Trust God? | Susie Larson
5d ago00:48:37Tap to summarizeWhat if trusting God in hard seasons could change how you face fear, pain, and uncertainty? In this episode, Susie Larson shares how to build resilient trust in God, heal from past wounds, and stop striving for control. Watch the full conversation and discover a deeper way to walk with God.I’m so excited to welcome my dear friend Susie Larson back to Visibly Fit. Susie is a bestselling author, national speaker, and the voice behind Susie Larson Live. Her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him, explores what can happen when we truly give God access to our stories and choose to trust Him—even when we don't understand what He is doing.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Susie's story about her husband, Kev, and the powerful healing encounter he experienced when he finally allowed God to reach a deep wound in his heart. His story is such a beautiful reminder that God doesn't humiliate His children—He invites us into healing, freedom, and deeper trust.We also talk honestly about the temptation to numb ourselves through distraction, pleasure, busyness, and other shortcuts instead of allowing God to meet us in our pain. Susie reminds us that we can position ourselves on the path of God's promises even when we cannot manufacture a “God encounter.”And if you're walking through a difficult season right now, I hope this conversation reminds you of something important: you can build resilient trust before the storm comes so that when the storm arrives, you know where to stand.Podcast Timestamp[00:00] Podcast preview[01:33] Topic and Guest Introduction[04:14] Susie Larson's New Book[05:10] What God Does When You Trust Him[06:22] Faith vs. Trust[07:35] When the Enemy Attacks Your Identity[08:35] Walking With God at the Pace of Grace[10:06] Discovering Your Identity in Christ[12:42] What It Looks Like to Walk in the Spirit[14:18] Walking in the Spirit vs. the Flesh[16:37] When God Uses Your Triggers to Heal[18:10] Kev's Story of Healing[23:39] Giving God Access to Your Story[25:12] Building Resilient Trust[26:30] The Epidemic of Numbing Out[29:31] Don't Settle in the Day of Crisis[30:48] Building a Spiritual Battle Box [32:27] When Trust Means Rising Up[35:20] You Can Be Powerful Even When You Don't Feel Well[[38:04] Faith-Filled Perseverance vs. Fear-Driven Striving[42:55] Get Susie Larson's New Book[44:27] How to Build Resilient Trust[45:13] Book Launch Invitation and ResourcesResources mentioned:📖 GET SUSIE'S BOOK: More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust HimVisit Susie Larson's website or find the book through Amazon.Susie Larson's Book Launch Event💪 Visibly Fit™ 7-Week Accelerator Program: getvisiblyfit.comConnect with today's guest:Website: susielarson.comSusie Larson is a bestselling author, national speaker, and the host of Susie Larson Live on Faith Radio.
