We’ve believed the lie that our brokenness discounts us from creating and living beautiful lives for far too long. When it’s really our brokenness that leads us to surrender to the Creator of the most beautiful things. Are you ready to begin again? To heal the childhood wounds that may have robbed you of the ability to create beauty? To feel seen and known in your brokenness, maybe for the first time? In the Still Coloring podcast, author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, invites you to lean into the stories of women and men that uncover their brokenness and practically show how they rebuilt their lives with hope and grit. Toni hopes that you would be inspired, poured into, and walk away believing that you too can create something beautiful with your life, no matter what.
The Still Coloring with Toni Collier podcast is a powerful and impactful series that has touched the hearts of listeners. The host, Toni Collier, shares her testimony and offers hope and inspiration to women who are struggling with fear and shame from their pasts. The podcast features a range of topics and guests, all filled with God's love and wisdom.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the authenticity and vulnerability that Toni brings to each episode. She delves into deep and challenging topics with love, compassion, and hard-hitting questions. Listeners are encouraged to confront their own brokenness and find healing in God. The content is fresh, real, and relevant, providing a unique perspective that resonates with many people.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the quality of guests that Toni brings on board. They share their own stories of brokenness, pain, and suffering, which helps listeners know they are not alone in their struggles. The guests offer valuable insights and perspectives that contribute to a well-rounded discussion on each topic. The variety of lenses through which they view situations is enlightening.
However, one drawback of this podcast is the number of advertisements/endorsements in a single episode. Some listeners have expressed surprise at the frequency of these ads compared to other podcasts they listen to. However, it should be noted that the products/services endorsed seem to be thoughtfully chosen.
In conclusion, The Still Coloring with Toni Collier podcast is a must-listen for anyone who is willing to do the work and seek healing in their lives. It offers a loving yet unrelenting approach that challenges listeners to look within themselves while reminding them of God's purpose, calling, and unconditional love. Whether you're looking for inspiration, encouragement, or a dose of truth wrapped in humor, this podcast delivers it all.
I am going to bring you all the way in. This is probably going to be my most vulnerable series of podcast episodes ever because it's me processing through some of the hardest moments I've ever had to walk through. In Season 6, you'll hear me shining a light on how God came for me in my darkest moments at the end of 2023. And how He's coming for you too, friend. God is still on the move. I hope this season heals you, in ways you didn't even know you needed.
We decided this season needed one final episode, and it's with Titania Jordan of Bark Technologies! Let's go deep on the topic of navigating the online world with our kids. I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that Bark is absolutely revolutionary and has changed my life as a parent. Titania is mom to a high schooler, and she serves as the Chief Parent Officer and CMO of Bark. Today she shares with us some pretty scary statistics from their annual report that analyzed 4.5 billion data points across 30 social media platforms, but with this bit of fear comes a whole lotta hope! Let's be a safe space for our kids. We have an incredible opportunity to take the things we didn't have access to and the ways tech hurt us and get it right for the next generation. And Bark's gonna help us do it.Go to Info.Bark.US/Toni to learn more and start YOUR Bark journey! The Bark Phone for kids was just named one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2023!

Today's podcast guest, Kendall Mariah Tart, says she wants to authentically and unapologetically engage in conversations that are sometimes really uncomfortable, so we go there in this episode! Kendall is a self-described “modern southern housewife” with a husband in the active military and a beautiful adopted daughter who is Black. As a blonde-haired white woman in America, Kendall has navigated some hard things in her parenting journey, so we talk about what it looks like to parent a child outside of your race.

Parenting is a treacherous journey – don't we all know this to be true! But the beautiful thing is, we don't have to do it alone. We shouldn't do it alone. Today I talk with Heather MacFadyen, the founder of a brand and podcast called Don't Mom Alone, about the idea of community. It can be awkward to seek out and pray specifically for, but we'll be better parents if we find like-minded people to walk through this with. And Heather says that of course, parents matter, but we're not the end-all, be-all, and that's both hard and incredibly freeing to realize. Don't mom – parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc. – alone, okay? Find your people!

Dr. Chinwé Williams is a licensed and board-certified therapist, speaker, author, and consultant, so you know what that means – today's episode might feel like a free counseling session, and Y'ALL, it's so good. I think she's so brilliant. We talk about helping kids process through trauma and emotions, because Lord knows they come jam-packed with BIG feelings. We talk about re-parenting ourselves so that we can be better parents for our kids. And Chinwé talks about why she doesn't think anxiety isn't necessarily 100% bad – God created us to have an alarm system that prepares us for threat.

No matter how dark things get in life, God is still there with a plan, and today's podcast guest graciously walks us through that promise. Jordan Welch doesn't just sing beautiful worship songs – she lives by them.

[Potential trigger warning – Cecily briefly discusses suicidal thoughts at the top of the show.]Cecily Hennigan is pursuing God like crazy, and it's so encouraging to see! You may remember Cecily from a viral video singing in the McDonald's drive-thru or from her time on Team Blake on NBC's The Voice. On today's episode, Cecily talks about the prayer she prayed the night before the Battle Rounds: ‘Lord, if you would take all of this from me so that I could know you, have it.' And it all ended the next day. She says she's seen everything the world could want to give her – money, social media followers – and none of it was satisfying. But now she's creating music with a right view of her identity as a creative. And friend, Your Creator God is still creating beauty in you, even in the midst of your pain.

Casey J is an award-winning singer, producer and worship leader, and she loves coaching worship leaders to go deep in their relationship with God so that they can lead others well. In today's episode, Casey talks about how we think saying ‘yes' to God in the valley means that things will work out better, even faster, for us… but it's during those times that our faith is stretched. With time and retrospection, we'll see how God was working during those hard seasons, and our faith will increase as we come to trust God's goodness based on His track record.

Beth Redman says, “I choose to surrender because I as a human don't know how to make this better, so I surrender to a God who does.” Toni and Beth also discuss deconstruction in a really honoring and beautiful way. If that's something you're battling with, Beth has some grace, scripture, and strategy for you in this conversation. She's a great worshiper – not because of the songs she and her husband Matt write, but because she chooses to worship God in the secret places.

In this episode, Christy says that we are worshippers and we're all worshipping something… and we're really good at it. But sometimes it's not always God that we're worshipping. We often replace him with other things. And sometimes, if we're not careful, we can even worship our own trauma – yikes! In this conversation, Christy helps us to reframe the idea of worship so that we can worship the right thing: the God who sees us and gives us courage to endure whatever we're walking through.

The theme of Season 4 is "Worshipping When it Hurts." It's easy to worship God when everything is going good, but when it's not... when anxiety and depression comes, or when trauma rears its ugly head, or when the enemy looks for ways to tempt us with our addictions... it's difficult to worship an unseen God. This season, Toni will have conversations with friends, singer-songwriters and worship leaders who've been through hard things, and who have fought to continue worshipping Him even when it hurts. We can't wait for you to hear these conversations! Here's to another season of the Still Coloring podcast!Want to partner with Toni and advertise on the podcast? Reach out here.

Toni Collier sits down with Carlos Whittaker, human hope coach, to discuss his upcoming new release, “How to Human.” This book is all about the concept of being human, and being a good one. It talks about being someone that loves, that presses into pain and difference in discourse, and says, “You know what? I can love anyway. I can bring hope into this world.” Toni and Carlos also discuss conviction, but the conviction that we get to embrace and then move into action. You don't have to stay in a valley of painful conviction. Instead, you could move to action and experience real freedom and real hope.

Toni Collier has a conversation with Jo Saxton, someone who has been like a mentor to her. Jo talks about the dysfunction in her previous church and healing from pain in the church experience. Toni and Jo discuss what it looks like to be in a church that is supposed to be worshiping God, that has a vertical posture to Him, but that's also absolutely broken with crazy human beings. What do we do after we've been hurt by the very place that we're supposed to be receiving healing and miracles? How do we get back up? How do we grieve really well, and what are the next steps to inviting Jesus to meet us right where we are?Links:Books by Jo SaxtonLinks to connect with Jo:Personal Instagram | Ezer CollectivePodcast Instagram | Lead Stories PodcastWebsite: https://www.josaxton.com/Sponsor a child with Africa New LifeIvey.Media/PartnerLinks to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Purchase NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken
Toni Collier gets to have a conversation with Da' Truth a.k.a. Emanuel Lambert. Toni and Da' Truth talk about Lazarus' sisters, Martha and Mary. As their brother is dying, Jesus wept with them. He weeps and we generalize it, but what the Bible is actually calling us into is a very personal, intimate Jesus. The truth about that personal Jesus – that one who wept with Mary and Martha because of the pain in their stories – weeps with you and bottles up all of our tears. Jesus is with you. He's with you in the pain, He's with you in the valleys, and He's with you on the mountains of hope.Links:Nights in Atlanta - SingleLinks to connect with Da' Truth:Instagram | Sponsor a child with Africa New LifeLinks to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Purchase NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken

Toni Collier had the chance to have a conversation with her good friend Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday. They talk about trauma, trauma being felt as pain, and that pain being experienced alone. When we wonder how in the world we feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, it's through community that we find people that will look us in the eye and say, “I'm not leaving the room.” Jessica also shares a really traumatic story of her son almost drowning. She also speaks to perseverance, and how perseverance is practicing letting God love the parts we really despise. This episode will help you figure out how to heal those parts that you despise, how to welcome those aspects into your life, and how to allow them to experience freedom.Links:Author of Imperfect CourageLinks to connect with Jessica:Personal Instagram | Going Scared Podcast | Website: https://www.jessicahonegger.com/Noonday Collection Instagram | Shop the CollectionSponsor a child with Africa New LifeLinks to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Purchase NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken
Toni Collier has a discussion with Ruth Chou Simons about how sometimes we stay in our pain because we want to strive to numb the pain instead of striving to actually heal. The truth is that some of the greatest pain comes from our experience of rejection and trying to seek approval from others. It's because we're striving for world acceptance when we really should just be surrendered at the feet of Jesus. If you're in a painful season right now and you're trying to strive your way out of it, this episode is for you.Links:NEW Advent Devotional EmmanuelBooks by Ruth Chou SimonsLinks to connect with Ruth:Personal Instagram | PodcastGraceLaced Instagram | Website: https://gracelaced.com/Sponsor a child with Africa New LifeLinks to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Purchase NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken
Welcome to a new season of the Still Coloring podcast where we dive into embracing pain. On this episode, Toni Collier has a conversation with Lysa TerKeurst about Lysa's new book “Good Boundaries and Goodbyes.” We need to have boundaries in our lives that are strong enough to keep the bad stuff out, but permeable enough to let the good stuff in. Lysa talks about how boundaries must come from love, not bitterness, and also not because you hate somebody. Rather, you put boundaries in place because you love your heart enough to have it be healthy and protected. Get ready to take some notes because this is a good one!Links:Lysa's NEW Book: Good Boundaries and GoodbyesLinks to connect with Lysa:Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://lysaterkeurst.com/Sponsor a child with Africa New LifeLinks to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Purchase NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken

Toni Collier and Ann Voskamp have a conversation about how in the depths of our valleys, we don't have to ride out of the dark when we have the ammunition to slay the dark. Ann talks about how our greatest need is to be seen and known especially during our struggles in life, and no one sees and knows us more than our Waymaker, Jesus. He's the only one that has ever loved you to death in all your brokenness and pain. The way is not a path, the way is a person; and that person is Jesus, our Waymaker in life.Links from this episode:Waymaker by Ann VoskampLinks to connect with Guest:Instagram | Books | Bible StudyWebsite: https://annvoskamp.com/Links to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Pre-order NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken

Toni Collier & Jackie Hill Perry sit down to have a conversation about suffering, and what it's like to heal while having hope & grit in the midst of pain. When you come to realize that you're a sinner, there's a hopelessness telling you that you aren't good enough, giving you the tendency to turn to your idols for “fake” peace. We want our idols to soften the suffering. Because we don't like pain. Jackie talks about the difficulty of waiting on God to relieve our suffering because His timing is not the same as ours, and also not visible. But it's when we go to God during our trials that we find authentic peace. Toni asks Jackie a question that we all want to know the answer to; What's the difference between getting through something painful and getting over something painful?Links:Gay Girl, Good God by Jackie Hill PerryHolier Than Thou by Jackie Hill PerryLinks to connect with Guest:Instagram | Podcast | YouTube | Website: https://jackiehillperry.com/Links to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Pre-order NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken
Welcome to the very first episode of the Still Coloring Podcast! During this conversation, Toni Collier & Jamie Ivey discuss “if only you knew moments” in life. What would people think if they knew certain parts of your story? How would it change their perspective and trust in you? Jamie talks about how our past sins don't define our worthiness of something good. God is always in the business of using broken people, and brokenness is inevitable in every season of our life. He is our redeemer and loves us in spite of what we have done because we are His daughters and sons.Links:If Only You Knew by Jamie IveyYou Be You by Jamie IveyGod Made You to be You by Jamie IveyLinks to connect with Guest:Instagram | Happy Hour Podcast | On the Other Side PodcastWebsite: https://www.jamieivey.com/Links to connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookWebsite: https://www.tonijcollier.com/Pre-order NEW Book: Brave Enough to be Broken
We've believed the lie that our brokenness discounts us from creating and living beautiful lives for far too long. When it's really our brokenness that leads us to surrender to the Creator of the most beautiful things. Are you ready to begin again? To heal the childhood wounds that may have robbed you of the ability to create beauty? To feel seen and known in your brokenness, maybe for the first time? In the Still Coloring podcast, author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, invites you to lean into the stories of women and men that uncover their brokenness and practically show how they rebuilt their lives with hope and grit. Toni hopes that you would be inspired, poured into, and walk away believing that you too can create something beautiful with your life, no matter what.
