Blessed Brokenness Podcast

I wrote a poem over the weekend as I took some time to think about an encounter I had with God as He brought me out of my despair and set me on his firm foundation. We can be filled with so much and feel overwhelmed or like we are just existing, but the Father hears us and will lift us out of it all to set us on the path he has destined for us.

Join me today as we dive in to talk about receiving Heavenly Father's love. If you are anything like me, you may have known how to build a wall quicker than realizing what's been missing. As we walk through brokenness and hard things we may not know this is something we are struggling with. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

When we have felt broken and in the midst of our healing God will nudge us, but it can be hard tobsay yes to him when we are afraid something might go wrong. The brokenness we feel in this area can actually be from our own disobedience. Running and pretending we haven't heard him does not make it go away. He has a plan for our lives and its so much more fulfilling than what we can create for ourselves. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

We love to over think and over complicate thing so much that we can't even see how we are supposed to start.

Following the ways of this world can leave us feeling broken and have us blowing in the wind, with no clear direction. Listen, we are not people pleasers, we are not weak, we are not set in with the world, we are not ones that bow down to the world. You have been set apart. You are not a follower. We have CHRIST dwelling inside of us. That truth alone will shift things if we can grasp it. This is a time for us to truly know what the word of God says for our benefit, so we won't be led astray and deceived. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

People can come against us in so many different ways and it can sting like nothing else, but when we know THE truth, we can have knowledge and wisdom to let it go as we remember that they don't have power over us. We will remember that the battle is not against flesh and blood. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

I have heard the inner cries of women around me. There is this inner cry of women wanting to step into more, but fear, the voices and opinions of others, and societal expectations cripple us more than anything. I have felt the struggles and seen the setbacks. I have seen the effect of the lies we have been fed. Those lies disrupt our belief system and kill our confidence. We are hearing that we should step into who we are, but there are so many blocks and its so hard.  The biggest cry is we don't even know what we carry. We don't know what's truly inside of us. We may have had a glimpse, or maybe its right there in front of our faces, but we constantly play it down, even talking negative over it. We get stuck in this trap of, we are a nobody and that what we bring to the table is no good. There may have been a time when we were younger and someone came to you, telling you their opinion of you or your gifts and talents, crushing the little bit of confidence you were holding on to.  So you walked away feeling defeated and actually believed them.

The words "I can't" limits us and if we are not careful, we wont be able to do much of anything because our words will end up holding us back. Words have power, so let's use words that empower us and toss those limiting words that keep us in a box. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

Would you rather do something that is comfortable or are you willing to try something that is out of your comfort zone? We love to operate in what we feel is comfortable because discomfort stretches us, refines us, shows us a few things. I dive in a little bit to encourage you that its okay to be a little bit uncomfortable in order to go after your dreams and visions because Great things never came from comfort zones. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

We all face hard season and challenging times, but we have got to stop something. We have got to stop throwing out a whole year over facing something hard. There were good days too, but it all comes down to perspective. How will we begin to remember the good days too so that we can have more joy instead of dread? www.crystalkefer.com crystalkeefer@hotmail.com www.instagram.com/crystal.keefer www.facebook.com/crystalkeeferinspired --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

In today's episode we get to hear from a woman that was determined to follow her dreams as a single mom while life was trying its hardest to make her become yet another statistic. Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." www.crystalkefer.com crystalkeefer@hotmail.com www.instagram.com/crystal.keefer www.facebook.com/crystalkeeferinspired --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

Have you ever felt trapped and so much pressure to perform as a Christian?

In this episode I dive in with a beautiful sister in Christ and unpack seasons of brokenness to lay it all out so you can find encouragement, truth and hope to realize this exists for you too. Laura was held in bondage with pornography as a teen and it made her feel broken for so many years, but then she found freedom! She was able to drop those chains and began to walk in the freedom that was already hers. Listen to her story as she tells it with such courage and bravery.  I hope it encourages you and empowers you to dig a little bit deeper and choose to step into your freedom as well. www.crystalkefer.com crystalkeefer@hotmail.com www.instagram.com/crystal.keefer www.facebook.com/crystalkeeferinspired --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support

Have you ever thought about the exact way you were designed, like  from birth? I never did in the past because I didn't realize the person I  was at the time, was not who I was created as and it didn't make sense  to me. As time goes on we change based off of what our parents,  some kid back in grade school, a friend, a boss, a spouse, and society  tell us. God had to literally walk me through that so I could know and  understand the truth. My hope is  for every woman I know, to walk in freedom, fully alive in who she was  created to be. I hope this speaks truth, sheds some light and encourages you to get back to YOU.  www.crystalkefer.com crystalkeefer@hotmail.com www.instagram.com/crystal.keefer www.facebook.com/crystalkeeferinspired --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blessedbrokennesspodcast/support
