What Abraham faced in his final test from God was incomprehensible, and yet he knew that God would remain faithful no matter the outcome. How was Abraham able to display such trust when met with the thought of sacrificing his son?

The Outpost, part 1: What Binds the Broken People?

What Abraham faced in his final test from God was incomprehensible, and yet he knew that God would remain faithful no matter the outcome. How was Abraham able to display such trust when met with the thought of sacrificing his son?

Though widely known, the story of Noah and the ark is one that tends to be misinterpreted by many in today's society. Far from being a tame bedtime story, it gives us a glimpse of the response of a holy God to the depravity of sin.

In this NBN episode, NBN host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu about her phenomenal novel, The Creation of Half-Broken People. (House of Anansi Press, 2025). Stupendous African Gothic, by the winner of Yale University's Windham–Campbell Prize Showcasing African Gothic at its finest, The Creation of Half-Broken People is the extraordinary tale of a nameless woman plagued by visions. She works for the Good Foundation and its museum filled with artifacts from the family's exploits in Africa, the Good family members all being descendants of Captain John Good, of King Solomon's Mines fame.Our heroine is happy with her association with the Good family, until one day she comes across a group of protestors outside the museum. Instigating the group is an ancient woman, who our heroine knows is not real. She knows too that the secrets of her past have returned. After this encounter, the nameless woman finds herself living first in an attic and then in a haunted castle, her life anything but normal as her own intangible inheritance unfolds through the women who inhabit her visions. With a knowing nod to classics of the Gothic genre, Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu weaves the threads of a complex colonial history into the present through people “half-broken” by the stigmas of race and mental illness, all the while balancing the humanity of her characters against the cruelty of empire in a hypnotic, haunting account of love and magic. SIPHIWE GLORIA NDLOVU is a Zimbabwean writer, scholar, and filmmaker. She is a 2022 recipient of the Windham–Campbell Prize for Fiction. Her debut novel, The Theory of Flight, won the Sunday Times Barry Ronge Fiction Prize in 2019. Her second and third novels, The History of Man and The Quality of Mercy, were shortlisted for the Sunday Times Fiction Prize. After almost two decades of living in North America, Ndlovu has returned home to Bulawayo, the City of Kings. Learn more about your ad choices.

Who are you, really? In a culture rife with comparison, the question of identity is one that tends to plague many of us. Is your identity anchored in things such as your accomplishments, your net worth, your social media presence—or in God's purpose and plan for your life?

In this sermon, Executive and Teaching Pastor Chris Dotson urges believers to confront their own brokenness, bringing it to Jesus for transformation, to empower them to address the world's brokenness.

1985 was a pivotal year & on August 2, 2025 was reminded of events from that year. The story starts with that year. A song that stays in my mind forever.

What if your calling isn't found in your perfection, but in your brokenness? In Can God Use Broken People?, Pastor Adam Smallcombe opens the Called of God series with a powerful look at Galatians 1, reminding us that calling isn't a result of competence. Through the life of Paul, we see that the crushing moments we try to avoid are often the very places where our calling is revealed. Open your heart and Bible, and discover how God can use your broken story for His glory.

Some of the best news in the Bible is that our failures are not final.  God doesn't just cancel us and move on to someone or something else.  Our God specializes in restoring people who have blown it.  This morning, we'll see how Jesus does that with Peter, the one who had denied Him three times. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Romans 5:6–8, where we see the staggering contrast between who we are and who God is. While we were powerless, ungodly, and sinful, God loved us enough to send His Son to die in our place. Imagine choosing to die for people who could offer nothing in return—that's the kind of radical love God has shown us.

By Dan Preston - During the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, we examine ourselves to both remove sin and put in the righteous character of Jesus Christ. The problem is that no matter how we might try, we are still broken by sin. But just like you don't need perfect barrels to make good bourbon, God will use

What If God Wants to Use the Most Unlikely Story for Revival?In this bold and redemptive conversation, Kap Chatfield sits down with evangelist Ross Johnston to unpack a story that defies expectations and points to the radical grace of God. Raised in a same-sex household and battling spiritual confusion, Ross encountered Jesus at 15 and never looked back.

Written and directed by Tracie Laymon, BOB TREVINO LIKES IT tells the story of Lily (Barbie Ferreira), a woman who's life is marred by the constant verbal manipulations of her father, Bob Trevino (French Stewart). But, while searching for her father on the internet, she discovers another man named Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo) and the two begin to build a friendship. As their relationship begins to grow, the two begin to see that they're both worthy of love, even if life seems to suggest otherwise. In this 1on1, we speak to Laymon about the beauty of broken people and finding our family.

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Trust and Forgiveness On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: This is a dramatic passage. I am curious as to what stood out to you when you read it. Do you think that people who manifest spiritual and emotional torture, usually in the form of actions that we associate with mental health disorders (e.g. isolation, self harm, antisocial, etc.), are typically viewed more as problems than people? Can we expect Jesus to radically transform mental health disorders today? We talk a lot about Jesus forgiving people of sin. Does Jesus also restore radically broken people back into society? And is that merely a theory, or are we actually okay with emotionally and mentally disturbed people returning to our community? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 9:7–10:20 Mark 4:26–5:20 Psalm 37:30-40 Proverbs 10:6-7
