Ep. 047 – Flashback Friday | Rebuilding Trust After Destruction: When to Stay, When to Step Back with Leslie Vernick | Part 2: Whole Life Podcast Relaunch
Welcome back to the Heart Journey Podcast – it’s Flashback Friday, Part 2 with my friend Leslie Vernick 
In this second half of her World Women’s Wholeness Summit 2020 talk, Leslie dives into what happens after trust has been broken:
What actually rebuilds trust (and what doesn’t)
Why God calls us to unconditional love but not unconditional relationship
How to discern between normal sin and chronic destructive patterns
What real repentance looks like (beyond “I’m sorry” and bringing flowers)
How to set wise, biblical boundaries that honor God and protect safety and sanity
Why you cannot “fix” another person, but you can change your part of the dance
If you’ve ever asked, “Does God care more about the sanctity of marriage than my safety and sanity?” this episode will help you breathe again. Leslie reminds us that God cares deeply about the well-being of His daughters and sons, not just the image of a relationship.
