On this episode of A Woman’s Heart, Lisa sits down with Kris Reece, Christian author, toxic relationship coach, and manipulation tactics specialist, to talk about her new book Breaking the Narcissist’s Grip. Kris equips believers to break free from controlling and emotionally destructive relationships—whether it’s a narcissistic spouse, an enmeshed parent, or a manipulative leader—and to reclaim the peace, identity, and confidence God intended. In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Kris shares how God brought healing to her own heart and how we can walk in freedom, even when we can’t yet escape difficult circumstances. She reminds us that true peacemaking isn’t about enabling dysfunction—it’s about pursuing truth and wholeness. Some highlights from the conversation: 💬 “It’s about letting God mend those broken places and teach me how to guard my heart with wisdom, not with fear or ferocity.” 💬 “When we enable dysfunction, we enable manipulation…when we do that, we enable evil, and now we’re working against God.” 💬 “Unless you’re secure in who you are and whose you are, manipulators will get you every single time.” 💬 “Healing isn’t a luxury…it is central. It’s crucial to your calling.” If you’ve ever felt confused, controlled, or spiritually guilted in a relationship, this episode will bring both clarity and compassion—and remind you that God desires your wholeness and peace.

What if hospitality is less about perfectly folded napkins and more about opening your heart to others? In this episode of A Woman’s Heart, Lisa welcomes author and speaker Abby Kuykendall to talk about the beauty and challenge of Biblical hospitality. Abby unpacks the difference between entertaining and true hospitality, reminding us that hospitality is not about impressing others but about serving them. She shares insights from her upcoming book, Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real-life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection, and explains why hospitality is a spiritual discipline, not just a personality trait. Together, Lisa and Abby explore: • Why hospitality is an expression of the character of God • How simple acts of obedience can open the door for deep, life-giving relationships • The freedom of letting go of perfection so you can experience God’s Presence in the ordinary moments • How hospitality can become one of the most powerful conduits for community and connection 📖 Quotes from this conversation: • “Entertaining is really all about impressing others.” • “Hospitality is when we are serving others.” • “Hospitality is the number one conduit to forming those tight, very close relationships.” • “If you try to put on this air of perfection, you miss God’s Presence in it all.” ✨ About Abby Kuykendall: Abby Turner Kuykendall is a writer, home cook, and founder of A Table Top Affair.
