In this powerful Flashback Favorites episode of A Woman’s Heart, we revisit a conversation with author and speaker Robyn Dykstra, diving into the heart behind her devotional book Growing Your Faith. Robyn shares how her personal journey with God has deepened her trust, how storytelling unlocks healing and connection, and why it’s vital to speak out about what God has done. Robyn Dykstra is a dynamic speaker, author and coach. Being widowed twice within 4 years gives her a unique voice to speak on the faithfulness of God, the power of prayer, and finding joy in difficult circumstances. Amazingly enough, she married again and Dave has been holding up remarkably well for over 19 years. Her favorite pastimes are reading, baking, and watching videos (as long as she controls the remote). You can find out more about Robyn at https://robyndykstra.com/ With warmth and wisdom, Robyn reminds us that our faith isn’t meant to be managed alone—and that there’s beauty on the other side of hardship when we’re willing to walk through it with God. ✨ “It’s so good to be on the other side of it, you just can’t stop sharing it.” We talk about: • Why storytelling is a powerful tool for spiritual growth • The lies we often believe—and how to replace them with truth • How to cling to faith in hard seasons • Why “decorating the pit” won’t heal your heart • What it means to say, “I hate the situation, but I love and trust You, God” 🔁 Whether you’ve read her devotional or are just discovering Robyn’s voice, this episode is packed with encouragement for women navigating faith, healing, and everyday life. 🌟 Quotes to Remember “I believe in the power of story.” “It’s very important for us not to be deceived into thinking that we can manage this life on our own.” “It’s okay to say I hate the situation but I love and trust You [God].” 📚 Listen now and grow your faith—one story at a time. 💻 Find our Flashback Favorites at: www.LisaGranger.com
