Do you ever struggle to receive something so incredibly good because you feel like it’s too much—or that you don’t deserve it?
In this powerful Part 2 conversation, Kim Tschirret, founder and CEO of Hope Reins, a 38-acre ranch in Raleigh, NC, reminds us of a life-altering truth: Grace honors the try. Not perfection. Not performance. Just the courage to keep showing up.
Kim shares what it means to live with open hands in the middle of trauma, uncertainty, and fear—and how grace welcomes God’s presence in our imperfection.
In this episode, we talk about:-
What it means to be trauma-informed—and why asking “What happened to you?” changes everything.
-
The heartbreaking mental health crisis facing kids today.
-
How to journey from worry to trust—and back again, when worry takes over.
-
Why gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a powerful affirmation of God’s sovereignty and goodness.
You’ll also hear the unforgettable story of a young girl whose trauma stole her security—and the blind horse named Joey who helped her find her voice.
Don’t miss the moment Kim realized God had a gift just for her. Selah.
💬 Grace Quotes from Kim Tschirret:-
“I don't control because I think I'm right. I control for safety... It's that [fear] of what might happen.”
-
“Healing can't happen without trust.”
-
"When I look for Him and live my life with gratitude, I realize God is sovereign and in control. I don't need to be. I'm safe."
-
“Keeping my eyes open to what He's doing helps me because I see Him working.”
Grace doesn’t demand you to get it all right. Grace simply honors the try.
