Podcasts about broken places

Sometimes it pours! Going back to school, a cancer diagnosis, and the pain of estrangement from a child. In the middle of chaos, exhaustion, and unanswered prayers, God's grace met Michelle. At her lowest points, Michelle was led to release emotional burdens and trust Jesus with what she couldn't fix. Now, she is sharing her story to encourage mothers walking through heartbreak and uncertainty, reminding us all that God's comfort is ever-present, even when life can't be wrapped up in a tidy bow.Today's show is filled with real hope, raw faith, and the assurance that, no matter what storms may come, you are never alone.

"Rebuilding Broken Places" - June 7, 2026 - Assistant Pastor Anthony Roberts

What if the broken parts of your life are not something to fix, but something to carry with purpose? In this episode of Rise and Shine, Adrienne explores a deeply Jewish perspective on resilience, identity, and growth. Drawing on a powerful story about a familiar bridge, the wisdom of the Talmud, and the enduring strength of the Jewish people, she reframes what it means to live with both joy and pain at once, offering a grounded, practical approach to navigating challenge, parenting through complexity, and leading with Jewish values. For those seeking meaning, strength, and clarity in uncertain times, this episode is a reminder: resilience is not perfection. It is learning to move forward with courage, faith, and purpose. The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois.

Relationships can be better. We can learn to get along with each other better. Human beings have a capacity for wisdom, beauty, delight, humor, and forgiveness. Yes, there is pain and brokenness in relationships, but people are worth the kindness and forgiveness—and we'll grow strong in the process. As Hemingway said: “Life breaks everyone and afterwards some are strong in the broken places.” In Episode 58, Landon picks up with the sixth of the significant seven keys to fully living. It's excerpted from the course of the same name, available on the Heartbeat App -- available in the Apple App Store or the Googe Play Store.

The Gold In The Broken Places - Greg Albritton

Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 9:22 — JESUS, HEAL THE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS I HIDE AND RESTORE THE BROKEN PLACES WITH YOUR PEACE AND POWER Italy • Jamaica • United Arab Emirates • Sweden • Japan emotional healing prayer, midday devotional, Jesus restore my heart, inner pain healing, daily prayer for emotional wounds, Holy Spirit comfort Matthew 9:22 (NIV): “Take heart, daughter… your faith has healed you.” Psalm 34:17 (NIV): “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.” Jesus, as midday arrives, many people carry emotional wounds no one sees—old disappointments still aching, heartbreak that never fully healed, fear buried beneath responsibility, and exhaustion behind the smile. People whisper silently, Why does this still hurt? Why can't I shake this feeling? Will I ever be whole again? You, Jesus, see every hidden place. You step gently into the pain we bury. You heal the parts we cannot reach. Holy Spirit, move into the deep layers of the heart where unspoken grief sits. Heal the memories that surface at unexpected moments. Bring peace to the places tightened by anxiety. Where someone feels abandoned, wrap them in comfort. Where hope collapsed, lift it again. Where tears have been swallowed down for too long, release healing. Let the Lion of Judah roar strength and restoration over every wounded soul. Yahweh, You are close to the brokenhearted. You do not overlook pain. You do not ignore tears. You carry every burden—those we speak aloud and those we cannot find words for. Restore confidence where it was shattered. Restore trust where it was broken. Restore joy where life drained it away. Bring emotional stability in the middle of the day when pressure peaks and the heart feels stretched thin. Jesus, heal the internal wounds that shape our thoughts, reactions, and decisions. Heal discouragement that keeps returning. Heal disappointment that sits underneath the surface. Heal the quiet sadness that wakes in the night and lingers into the morning. Restore identity. Restore purpose. Restore the joy of being loved. Let Your presence deliver peace deeper than the wound, stronger than the memory, and fuller than the pain. Jesus heals my hidden wounds. The Holy Spirit restores my heart. Yahweh surrounds me with comfort and strength. emotional healing prayer, Jesus heal my heart, daily devotional midday, Holy Spirit comfort, inner wound restoration, Christian emotional healing, prayer for hidden painSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Advent reminds us that God enters the world not through strength or certainty, but through humility, waiting, and trust. From Mary's song in Luke 1 to the prophetic words of Micah 1–2, this message traces a God who confronts what is broken while promising restoration through His coming King.As we walk verse by verse through Micah, we are invited to see that God wants to work through our broken hearts and actions with us—because only He can make things right.Advent response: How well do I receive God's work in my life as I wait for Him?

Whether you're feeling hopeful, weary, or somewhere in between, this message invites you to rediscover joy that lasts.

In this episode, Brandon explores Hemingway's famous line: “The world breaks everyone.”But instead of treating breaking as failure, we look at it through the Stoic lens—as a natural part of being human, and the raw material for growth.From tendon micro-tears in heavy lifting, to emotional micro-fractures in leadership and relationships, we break far more often than we admit. And yet every fracture offers us a choice: shatter through denial… or rebuild into something stronger.Brandon talks about:• Why strong people break harder• The illusion of invulnerability• Micro-damage as a metaphor for character development• Stoic recovery: reflection, realignment, rebuilding• How to turn every break into wisdom• Why breaking means you're becoming—not failingIf you're carrying a heavy load, if you feel cracks forming, or if you've recently broken and are trying to make sense of it—this episode will help you rebuild strong at the broken places.

Most of us have encountered trauma either in our own direct experience or with someone in our immediate circle. This talk examines the shame and suffering that arise from trauma and how meditation practices can support a path to full spiritual healing. We focus on practices that help us access a sense of love and safety, and then increase our capacity to bring presence to the unprocessed, unlived life in the body. (Note: For many who suffer from PTSD, therapy is invaluable and these practices are not considered as a substitute.)   Podcast Intro Music: Adrienne Torf (www.adriennetorf.com)

Dareth Ly tells how Jesus turned tragedy into purpose.After losing everything as a child under the Khmer Rouge, Dareth found healing in Christ and returned to Cambodia to bring that same hope to others.His message: Missions aren't just part of the church—they're the point of it. Open your eyes. The harvest is ready.

What if boldness isn't about being loud, but lasting? This message dives into how faith that endures the fire produces wisdom in trials, humility in success, repentance in failure, and integrity in the unseen. True boldness isn't loud confidence, it's faithful endurance. When life breaks you down, God is building something stronger, a faith that stands in the fire.

Heavenly Father, thank you for being with me in the dark valleys.Psalm 23:4Keywords: Shepherd; protected; guide; darkness; light; led. Today's PS episode is a “best of.” Do you need a gentle resource as you heal from a bruised or hurting heart?

Dedication: This episode is dedicated to the students, families, and educators of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We honor their immense courage and resilience in the face of the tragic school shooting that occurred in August 2025, and their profound choice to walk in their theme: "A future filled with hope."If you wish to support the victims and their families, please consider donating to the official fund here: https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZM37/campaign/C-1619X.Key TakeawaysHope as an Action: We discuss how hope is not a passive wish, but a defiant and active choice—a powerful act of resistance in the face of tragedy.Bravery is Vulnerability: We redefine bravery, moving away from the idea of being unafraid to embracing vulnerability, honesty, and community as core components of courageous leadership.Rest is Resistance: We explore how intentional rest and self-care are essential forms of resistance against systemic fatigue.Modeling Humanity: We discuss the importance of educators modeling humanity and resilience for their students, showing them that it's okay to not be okay, as long as we continue to show up.Reflection QuestionsFor Teachers: What is one small, tangible act of rest you can commit to this week that will help you sustain your energy for the work? How can you become a gentle observer of yourself this week?For Instructional Coaches & School Leaders: How are you modeling care and sustainability for your team? What is one thing you can take off their plate this week to ease the burden?For Everyone: What is one thing that brings you a quiet, reflective joy? What is one thing you can do this week to connect with that joy?If you're looking for support to continue this work in your own school or classroom, I invite you to explore my Professional Development workshops, Equity Audit Tools, Student Data Dive Tool, and Coaching services.

What do we do when our business feels broken? In this episode, we share practical ways we as pet sitters and dog walkers can turn setbacks—client complaints, burnout, or sudden revenue dips—into lessons that build resilience. We outline three pillars: extract one lesson from each setback, lean on a support network, and redefine success on our own terms. By scheduling true rest, strengthening policies, and setting aside emergency funds, we can recover with intention. Ultimately, healing is a process, and where we're “broken” can become the strongest part of our business. Main topics: Lessons from business setbacks Scheduling rest and recovery Support networks and vulnerability Tightening policies and finances Redefining success and goals Main takeaway: “Resiliency is really just accumulated recovery.” In pet care, we all face breaks—missed expectations, tough feedback, burnout, or a client who suddenly moves. The win isn't never breaking; it's choosing one lesson, taking one step, and stacking those wins over time. Build white space into your schedule, ask for help before the crisis, and firm up the policies that keep you safe. Keep a resilience journal to track each small comeback—because those layers of recovery become your strongest foundation Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Have you ever felt like your life was broken beyond repair? People you trust lie to you, family members use you, or your marriage is complicated. Genesis 29 tells how God is providentially working in a troubled family. This story is a hopeful reminder of how God can be faithfully and quietly at work amidst the brokenness, complexities, and pain of our lives.

In this life, we will have trouble, and sometimes it can feel like our spirit is being crushed. But God is a mender of broken hearts and shattered dreams. He meets us in our broken places to heal our spirits. Not only does He embrace us when we're broken, but He also uses us for His glory, proving that His power—not ours—is at work. Join us as we share encouraging words to help you navigate The Broken Places of life.

God does not waste our brokenness—in fact, He weaves it into something beautiful. For Christian parents facing heartache, disability, or shattered expectations, this truth is not only comforting—it is transformative. In this powerful “Best Of” episode, host Catherine shares one of her most beloved interviews with Andy Howard, author of When Words Don’t Come Easy and father to a daughter with profound special needs. Together, they wrestle with the question: How does God bring beauty from the most broken parts of our lives? Andy recounts his family’s journey after their daughter Peyton’s diagnosis—her lifelong inability to walk or speak, and the deep despair that followed. Yet, through a moving moment on a beach, God showed Andy that He cherishes the broken as much as the whole. Peyton’s life, though different from what he imagined, has become a source of profound joy, purpose, and testimony, touching more lives than Andy ever expected. Catherine and Andy also discuss critically needed ways Christians can support families with special needs: by offering acknowledgment, compassion, and connection—treating every child and parent with the dignity and attention they deserve. Key Insights and Takeaways: The Beauty in Brokenness – God often reframes what the world calls “broken”; Peyton’s life exemplifies beauty, purpose, and joy, reminding us that divine value supersedes worldly milestones. A Call to Compassion – Andy offers practical advice for supporting special needs families: acknowledge them, approach them, and affirm the dignity and purpose of every child. A simple greeting or act of kindness can mean the world. Strength for the Journey – For parents wondering if they are “strong enough,” Andy reiterates that it’s not about innate strength, but about building on the foundation of Christ. “Keep your foundation on God, on Christ. No matter what comes your way, you can do it. You really can with His help.” Perspective and Purpose – While Andy once prayed for a viral miracle, God had a different plan. Today, Peyton’s quiet witness and Andy’s message of hope encourage families across the globe. About Andy Howard:For over 20 years, Andy Howard has served in ministry as a youth pastor and marriage ministry pastor. A passionate advocate for mental health awareness, Andy has personally walked through the valley of depression—at one point tipping the scales at 345 lbs. as he tried to cope with family trauma through food. But God had more in store. Together with his wife Tiffany, Andy has lost over 350 lbs. combined and co-founded a transformational health coaching business called Taking Back My Life, helping thousands reclaim physical and emotional wellness. Andy is the host of the When Words Don’t Come Easy podcast and author of a book by the same name. He lives in Bryan, Texas with Tiffany and their three beautiful daughters: Payton, Parker, and Presley.

Nathan Walters' journey from devastating childhood trauma to international mission leadership demonstrates the profound ways God can redeem our deepest pain.

Welcome back to Unexpected with Hannah Love!Today I'm joined by my sweet friend, Meshali Mitchell — photographer, author, and powerful voice for healing and restoration.

What does it really mean to live from a place of wholeness? How do we seek healing? How do we know when we are operating out of a pain cycle— what does it look like to find the root, do the deep work, and let God restore us from the inside out?In this convo, my DEAR friend, Meshali Mitchell, digs into the process the Lord has taken her through— both in her own soul and literally as she restores a farmhouse that has now become her home.The truth is, if you want to experience love of any kind, you will have to risk rejection, hurt, and the pain that comes from being loved by imperfect people. As Meshali walks through her own personal healing process in her new book, “Restored: Partnering with God in Transforming our Broken Places”, she offers such deep practical insight that will meet you right where you are. And the way Meshali dives into scripture and helps you apply the Word of God is unparalleled — I'm so grateful for this conversation and this book!Life will be the continual process of healing until we become fully restored in Heaven. But until then? We get to partner with God as He breathes fresh wind and true healing to the deepest parts of our soul.Buy Meshali's new book here: https://amzn.to/42Her2pFind Meshali on Instagram @Meshali Learn more about Meshali, her photography, her story, and her offerings here: https://www.meshali.co

Share with us what you think about UncommonTEEN! I do read your fanmail, but can't message you back! Chat with me at UncommonTEEN.com!Growing up, I believed so many lies from the enemy. Lies that I was a nobody. That I was worthless. That I was unlovable. That nobody cared about me. I was a reject. I hated everything about myself.  I absolutely hated being alone, because that's when all of these thoughts would come at me the strongest.When I was 17 and gave my life to Jesus, I wish I could say that all of those thoughts went away, but they didn't. I still struggled a lot. I remember thinking as a new Christian that I was broken beyond repair. I used to ask myself, “Why am I like this?” Why can't I make friends… I don't just mean those people you say hi to here and there, but those close friends who are there for you no matter what. I don't want to be alone anymore. Why can't I be different? What's wrong with me?”I'm just thankful that at this point in my life, I was crying out to God as I was asking these questions. My heart-cry at this time was, “God change me. Show me what I need to do and I will do it!”What I didn't realize back then was after giving my life to Jesus, I had the power on the inside of me to watch those dead areas of my life come to life. I had the power on the inside of me to heal those broken places. I had the power on the inside of me to get rid of the loneliness. That power is the resurrection power that Jesus gave to us after He died on the cross and rose again from the grave. How? How does the resurrection power work in our lives? Listen to what Abraham did in Romans 4.Romans 4:17-21-“As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness[Ladies, we have some exciting news!
