In this powerful conversation, Lysa TerKeurst opens up about living in a constant "worst case scenario" mindset, navigating deep emotional trauma, and finding clarity in the middle of heartbreak. With raw honesty, she shares how fear, betrayal, and unresolved pain can quietly shape our identity—and how healing begins by telling the truth about what we've been carrying.
