As always Lysa your advise and your sharing so honestly of your own hurts and experiences has been so helpful to me. Thank you so much, may our mighty Heavenly Father bless, keep, and protect you always. ❤
Thank you for an interesting and helpful interview. One missing component was the deeper spiritual side of this issue. On the one hand, God’s faithfulness is emphasized throughout scripture, meaning he always keeps his promises and he is always truthful. So the characteristics of trustworthiness are based on the character of God. On the other hand, Satan is the “father of lies” (Jn.8:44) and is the very opposite of both faithful and truthful. We feel betrayed and trust is broken most often when someone breaks promises or is deceptive toward us, whereas faithfulness in someone’s behavior builds trust. Interestingly enough, there are 365 commands about honesty, integrity, and keeping promises in the scriptures (give or take a few), which is a clear indication of the high value God places on being trustworthy. Unfortunately, many believers frequently behave more like Satan than God. But wouldn’t it be helpful to this discussion to explore how God responds when his people are unfaithful? How did Jesus Christ respond when he was betrayed and trust was broken? I haven’t read the book yet, but perhaps those are all topics she deals with in the book. Thank you again for a thought-provoking interview.

1st time listening to this particular podcast…
Mr Setzer talks soooo fast. What’s the hurry 🤔?
Other than that I always learn something from Lysa 😊
