How to rebuild trust and connection – Sifted Wheat

Anyone that has been betrayed or cheated on knows the struggle of healing in that space. In this episode, we join Wes and Renee again as they share how they learned (and are still learning) to reconnect and rebuild after 3 affairs. As you will learn, it is not a step 1-2-3 of how to forgive and trust again, it is a consistent and intentional process of humility and faith, that is often interrupted by triggers and fear. What one couple needs to heal might be very different from another, and the source of stability is not in the relationship between you and your spouse, but in your relationship with God as your source no matter what happens. This is the last BONUS episode of the season, and I hope, as with every episode, you are encouraged and inspired by their story. I know that it is one that is helping so many others who are making their way through betrayal and unfaithfulness and into the eternal faithfulness of Father God. Stay tuned for our next season on Identity and when it will be released next year! Leave a rating and/or review where you listen so that others can find us!  Thanks so much for a successful and encouraging second season of Sifted Wheat!

Kiss, Bang, Boom! book one

Zella Storm has always done things differently—even when it comes to dating. Though finally old enough, she’s chosen to skip the whole scene and is perfectly content… until Toby Woods, a missionary kid from South Korea, shows up. He’s everything she thinks a boyfriend should be. With her friend urging her on and her enemy racing to win him first, Zella must decide: will she change her mind or stick to her no-dating rule?

Life is changing quickly for Celeste and her friends. Zella has just said goodbye to Toby, and her brother Robbie has left to fight in Iraq. As Celeste grows closer to Brad, their relationship intensifies, and she faces a choice: will she follow the guidance of friends and family about intimacy, or let passion lead her down a path that could change everything?

I am a writer. I am a speaker. I am a Christian. I am a counselor. I am a podcaster. Those are not mutually exclusive… I am in a place where I desire to be transparent, to challenge, to urge, and hopefully be used to inspire. I’m taking off my masks, putting up pretense, and walking with my eyes wide open. I want to see what He sees, love like He loves, and ultimately live like I’m alive in Him. That’s what I’m about… And this is my journey.

  1. I enjoy reading your blogs & books. Your words touch right to the core in some areas; step on my toes in other areas; they challenge me to be a better person. Thank you for sharing your thoughts & feelings with us. Love ya, D

  3. Leslie, I can relate to your writings, and your desire/need to write. I’ve been recently insprired to be transparent as well and have started my own blog. It’s nice to know there are others who struggle with things as I do. I’ve really enjoyed reading your entries lately as I’ve just come to learn about your blog. God bless.

    1. Thank you, Jennifer! And yes, be transparent and open bc it is in out openness and our willingness to share, that we show that Christ does indeed save…not just once, but continually, not just for the moment but for all time! 🙂

  4. Hi Leslie! Met you a while back at Mercy Ministries! Learned today that you met my friend Carla Pilgreen! Can’t wait to see what God will do next!

  5. Hi I’m a big fan of your book kiss bang boom and was wondering if there is going to be a third book? I know there is a second book and am thinking about reading it. I was just wondering if there was going to be another book about Zella because I love the first one so much and am interested to see how Zella and Toby’s relationship work out after he comes back!(I think they’d make a cutie couple hint hint!) Thanks Liz

    1. Hi Liz! Every book tracks Zella and Toby although neither the second or (and yes I am still writing it) the third. 🙂 But I think you will be pleasantly surprised that in order to tell the story of each girl, we learn more about Zella and heaven sent Toby! I’m glad you enjoyed book one! By all means, you should read book two – Celeste’s Confession. And as soon as book three is complete, you will know – the whole world will hear my squeal of exclamation! 😉 Be blessed!

  8. My 13 year old granddaughter has read both your books. She was an avid reader for years and then just stopped. Your books were the only ones that got her back on track. Thank you!!! She is waiting for your third book. Do you know when it will be released??
