Are Second Chances for Everyone?

How do you know when you're ready for a second chance?

Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God’s unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys.

Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you.

Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it’s never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others.

Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we’ve run out of “do-overs”? Kim’s response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God’s grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He’s still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.”

Hanging On When Life Gets Tough

Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family’s struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it’s singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential.

Practical Ways to Persevere

When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God’s word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we’re trying our best, we may still fail—but God’s forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine.

Stories that Heal

Kimberley’s recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we’re able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways.

Encouragement for the Wounded

Whether you’re grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness.

Kimberley's Word of Hope

Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.
