What if one divine encounter could completely change the direction of your life? Today, Becky Tirabassi joins Dr. Jim Burns for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about redemption, identity, and the life-changing power of a relationship with God. From a past marked by addiction, sexual impurity, brokenness, and searching, Becky shares how a simple moment—through an unexpected messenger—led her to true freedom, forgiveness, and lasting transformation. She opens up about the daily rhythms that sustained her sobriety and shaped her calling, and how that journey ultimately led to impacting others through Burning Hearts. This episode is a moving reminder that no past is too far gone—and that time with God doesn’t just change you, it transforms everything around you.

Have you ever wondered what God is doing in your life—especially when you can’t feel His presence? In this episode, Dr. Jim Burns is joined by Laurie Short who shares her personal journey through singleness, disappointment, and learning to trust God’s timing even when the path didn’t look the way she expected. She reflects on how God often opens doors we weren’t looking for and how those unexpected paths can lead exactly where we need to go. Together, they talk about discovering God in the middle of life’s mess and what it practically means to “wait well.” It’s an honest and encouraging conversation for anyone learning to trust God in seasons of uncertainty.
