What if the Church became the heartbeat of its community again? In this inspiring episode, Pastor Kevin Foster of LifeBridge Community Church in Fresno, CA, shares the vision behind Run to the Brokenness—a call for churches to move from attractional to missional living. Kevin reveals how his congregation turned crisis into opportunity, feeding thousands, creating jobs, and partnering with their city to bring hope. He challenges pastors to redefine success and run toward the pain rather than away from it, reminding us that the local church can—and should—be the center of its community once again.

A “sister duo” joins this episode, as Katie Walters co-hosts with Joey Svendsen to talk to Katie's sister, Pastor Jess Connolly. Katie and Jess share about the special bond they have and how Katie, who was once a domineering big sister when they were kids, now has a "mamma bear" defensiveness toward anyone who talks negatively about Jess on social media. Birthed out of a very painful season for their family, Jess just released her newest book, What Comes Next: 40 Days of Healing After Heartbreak, Burnout, or Brokenness. As Joey discovers the book's content and learns about Jess's motivation for writing it, the three discuss contentment and how ones finds it. They also reflect on the idea of "surviving versus thriving," the meaning of Jess saying "everything happens for me to form me,” and "kingdom rewards" that come from pain. Pastor Jess also shares why she refuses to sing certain worship songs that churches often include in their worship services.  At the top of the episode, Joey tries shares with his two co-hosting friends an experience in which a woman tried to witness to him, Lynne and Ciarrah not too impressed with how this lady went about it.  Be a Patron of the podcastGuests: Pastor Jess Connolly  | Book | Website | Church Hosts: Joey Svendsen, Katie Walters, Ciarrah Lindsay Lynne StroyWe have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

HB7 Can a Person Change Sex?To 'change sex' – let's call it ‘transgenderism' – requires a complete denial of human biology – and last time I checked biology was still a science. So, since we have already established that the biblical belief is that God made us as we are, male or female, man or woman, let's just do some science. Let's think about some of the branches of science where transsexualism conflicts… Read the NOTES HERE. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brokenness isn't the end of your story; it's where God begins. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah finds himself in a famine, a widow faces starvation, and a boy dies unexpectedly. But in every moment of desperation, God moves. He provides when the jar is empty. He heals when hope seems gone. And He speaks, not through fire or thunder, but in a whisper. Over and over, we see the thread: when life falls apart, God steps in. Not to shame your weakness, but to rebuild you with greater glory. Like Kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold—God doesn't hide your cracks. He fills them with grace. Because every miracle starts with a moment that feels like the end. But in Jesus' name, brokenness becomes breakthrough.

Many of David's life stories are highlights, but today's message centers around David, who falls into sin. Psalm 51 helps us see how he navigates running from God and how God directs his path. thebridgebluffton.com

Brokenness is a very valuable commodity in the Kingdom. The sacrifice that God is looking for is a broken and contrite heart (Psalm51:17). Our brokenness is what positions us to be dependent upon God. Our brokenness is what allows God to use us.

314. Finding Beauty in Brokenness Lessons from Kintsugi for Creatives In this episode of Creative Chats, Mike Brennan shares his experience with Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold. He reflects on the symbolism of Kintsugi, emphasizing the beauty of embracing imperfections and the stories behind our struggles. Through personal anecdotes, he encourages listeners to find value in their brokenness and to keep creating despite challenges. The conversation highlights the importance of resilience, authenticity, and the transformative power of art in our lives. Here are 3 key takeaways I hope resonate with you: Embrace Imperfection: The gold-filled cracks are not just repairs, but enhancements that add to the character and story of the piece (and of ourselves). Our mistakes and setbacks are part of our unique journey. Redemption Over Perfection: Often, the most beautiful outcomes grow from what's been broken and made new again. Whether it's our creative projects or personal stories, choosing restoration over discarding leads to resilience and authenticity. Share Your Story: Vulnerability builds real connections. Just as the cracks in pottery invite curiosity, sharing our struggles invites support and inspiration—not only for ourselves, but for others who may feel alone in their journey. If you're facing a season of brokenness or frustration in your work or life, remember: the cracks can become the most beautiful part of the story. Keep showing up, and let your gold shine through.

This episode is a declaration of war on the greatest idol in the Western Church: comfort. We've traded the cross for a couch cushion, creating a version of faith that's safe, soft, and spiritually useless. We pray for blessing but run from the breaking that produces it.Today, we're making a scandalous proposal: Pray for suffering.That's right. Suffering is the furnace where faith is forged, idols are burned, and our dependence on Christ becomes real. The world tells you to numb your pain. The Word tells you God uses it for His glory. Every hero of the faith was shaped in the fire, and every Christian who idolizes ease is living a lukewarm life that makes God sick.This isn't a sermon for the comfortable. It's a boot camp for the consecrated.Buckle up. We're about to find out if you want to be pacified or purified."For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him." – Philippians 1:29Episode Highlights:05:24 - Comfort, not persecution, is what's destroying us. Because comfort kills dependence. Comfort dulls conviction. Comfort lulls us into spiritual apathy, convincing us we don't need God because life is good. And when life is good, prayer dies, passion fades, the fire burns low.15:33 - The world may call that radical, but the early Christians called it normal. They understood something we've forgotten: Soft faith can't survive a hard world. If our modern church were a gym, most of us would be on the treadmill of routine. Moving, but not growing. Sweating but not stretching. Active but not advancing.29:44 - Comfortable leaders protect their image. Suffering leaders protect their integrity. Comfortable leaders chase applause. Suffering leaders chase obedience. Comfortable leaders build empires. Suffering leaders build the kingdom. And make no mistake about it, this world doesn't need more polished executives. Instead, it needs more crucified executives.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Recorded at our Fall Come Back to Christ Event in Provo, UT."I'm grateful for all that Jesus does with our brokenness. He doesn't believe in creation X nihilo, creation out of nothing. We don't believe in it. Jesus doesn't do it that way. He takes stuff and if you have stuff then you have something to offer. If you have brokenness, if you have doubt, if you have concern, if you have questions, if you have sin, if you have struggle, if you have sorrow, if you have broken hearts and contrite spirits or even broken covenants, whatever you've got, it's stuff. It's matter. And if you will consecrate to God your crisis, he can create something beautiful."00:00 Mama Bear Moment01:53 The Prodigal Party03:25 Personal Prodigal Stories13:12 The Role of a Judge18:58 Gospel Tangents and Celestial Slingshots32:05 The Fortunate Fall35:45 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
