What Happens When You Truly Trust God? | Susie Larson | EP 255

What if trusting God in hard seasons could change how you face fear, pain, and uncertainty? In this episode, Susie Larson shares how to build resilient trust in God, heal from past wounds, and stop striving for control. Watch the full conversation and discover a deeper way to walk with God. I’m so excited to welcome my dear friend Susie Larson back to Visibly Fit. Susie is a bestselling author, national speaker, and the voice behind Susie Larson Live. Her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him, explores what can happen when we truly give God access to our stories and choose to trust Him—even when we don't understand what He is doing. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Susie's story about her husband, Kev, and the powerful healing encounter he experienced when he finally allowed God to reach a deep wound in his heart. His story is such a beautiful reminder that God doesn't humiliate His children—He invites us into healing, freedom, and deeper trust. We also talk honestly about the temptation to numb ourselves through distraction, pleasure, busyness, and other shortcuts instead of allowing God to meet us in our pain. Susie reminds us that we can position ourselves on the path of God's promises even when we cannot manufacture a “God encounter.” And if you're walking through a difficult season right now, I hope this conversation reminds you of something important: you can build resilient trust before the storm comes so that when the storm arrives, you know where to stand.
