Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend or leader lets you down. A spouse or family member betrays you. And you're left wondering, If God let this happen, can He even be trusted?
In this interview, bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shares some of her own moments of struggling with how to trust God through doubt and grief, and offers compassionate advice about how to walk through difficult times and let yourself ask questions without losing faith. |

October 27 — One of the "most beautiful" Baptist churches in America, Tremont Temple in Boston, is slowly recovering after a rocky century. The 186-year-old building — one of the first U.S. churches to be racially integrated — has survived three fires. It once boasted 4,000 members and received visits from Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Charles Dickens. Recent attendance is closer to 100 — but growing. (The Gospel Coalition) |
| October 28 — Chibi church, anyone? The Vatican has announced an unlikely new mascot for its 2025 Jubilee year of pilgrimage, spiritual renewal, and forgiveness of sin: Luce, a raincoat-clad, cross-wearing anime child. Designed by Italian pop culture brand tokidoki for the Vatican's Dicastery for Evangelization, Luce and her "pilgrim friends" will make their first appearance at Italy's Lucca Comics and Games convention. (Catholic News Agency) |
| October 29 — Yale scholar David Moe spoke about Christian ethnic minorities under Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar. There and as refugees in the U.S., these "grassroots Christians" balance an emphasis on spiritual power and the sacrificial role of Jesus with the resistance against evil exemplified by Moses and the Psalms. Moe stressed the importance of finding common cause, as many Buddhists are also opposed to the ruling elite. (Christianity Today) |

We live in a troubled and fear-filled world.
In fact, Jesus tells us it will only intensify. His description of what's on the horizon is sobering: "'Men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth'" (Luke 21:26 NKJV). What's the antidote to all this anxiety? As best-selling author and pastor John Bevere demonstrates, those who fear God can find freedom from all other fear. |
