Show Notes

In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode, bestselling author and theologian Lisa Harper joins Ginny Yurich to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time: does past pain disqualify us from future purpose? With her signature blend of humor, warmth, and depth, Lisa shares her powerful adoption story, how trauma shaped her early years, and the way God met her in the darkest places to bring about redemption. From being told she shouldn’t become a mother because of her history of abuse to becoming a single parent through adoption in her 50s, Lisa offers hard-won wisdom and a message of restoration for anyone who’s ever felt disqualified by their past.

Together, Lisa and Ginny unpack deep theological truths in a way that’s accessible, practical, and deeply personal. They discuss the theology of tears, the beauty of community, and how diving into Scripture with curiosity (and even a little queso) can radically transform your life. This conversation is for the one who’s weary, the one who’s healing, and the one who’s wondering if there’s still a beautiful future ahead. Spoiler: there is.
