In this episode of Life 2.0 with God, Tom is joined by his good friend Paul Berard to talk about one of the hardest parts of starting over: learning how to trust again. After betrayal, broken relationships, or disappointing situations, trusting others—and even trusting yourself—can feel impossible. But with God's help, healing is possible.
Whether you've been hurt by a friend, family member, spouse, or employer, this conversation offers biblical guidance and practical steps to help you rebuild trust the right way—slowly, intentionally, and with wisdom.
What You’ll Learn:
✔️ How to rebuild self-trust after betrayal and regain confidence in your decisions.
✔️ How to open your heart to trusting people again without making the same mistakes.
✔️ Why taking it slow in new relationships helps build lasting, healthy trust.
✔️ Biblical examples of restoration from Peter and David’s stories.
✔️ The importance of trusting God first as the foundation for trusting others.
Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve ever been hurt by someone you trusted or felt like you couldn’t rely on your own judgment, this episode will give you encouragement to move forward.
Tom and Paul share real-life insights about recovering from betrayal, setting boundaries, and taking small steps to rebuild trust with God, yourself, and others. It’s not about forgetting the past—it’s about learning from it and allowing God to guide you into something new.
Why This Episode Matters:
