About this episode

Dr. Henry Cloud discusses the challenges of rebuilding trust after it has been broken, emphasizing the importance of trust in relationships and faith.

Have you ever been let down by someone you really trusted? That kind of pain does not just hurt in the moment. It can shape how you see every relationship moving forward. It can make it hard to trust people again, even when you want to. Walking through Proverbs 18:13 and other key Scriptures, Dr. Henry Cloud unpacks a powerful truth. Trust is not optional. Trust fuels every part of life and every relationship. But when trust gets broken, something in us pulls back. So how does trust actually work? And how do you rebuild trust after it has been broken? While people will fail us, Jesus never will. He understands you completely, cares deeply about you, and is fully trustworthy in every way. As you learn to trust Him more, you can also grow into someone others can trust. If you have ever struggled with broken trust, relationship pain, or knowing who to trust, this message will give you clarity and direction for what to do next. – – – – – – If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who may need it!
