Suffering & Brokenness Pt.6: Purpose in the Prison | Sufrimiento y Quebrantamiento Pt.6: El Propósito en la Prisión | Pastor Jonathan Perez

God desires heart worship, not empty religious rituals. Throughout history, from Old Testament sacrifices to modern church attendance, people have struggled with going through the motions while their hearts remain distant from God. True worship isn't about performing religious duties or giving God an hour on Sunday. Instead, it involves offering ourselves as living sacrifices, allowing God's Spirit to transform us from the inside out. This authentic worship flows from a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ and expresses itself through generous giving, community praise, and a lifestyle that honors God. The key is moving beyond lip service to heart engagement with our Creator.

For today's sermon, we welcome a very special guest speaker, Ramona Johnson, as she shares her amazing story of despair and redemption. Ramona has just released a book called "I'm Living Proof," and a documentary is being made about her life. She wanted our church -- her church -- to be the first stop on her book tour and to be the first to hear her full story. Today we celebrate the amazing work God's been doing in Ramona's life and the wonderful calling God has given her!

From mass shootings to moral confusion, we're watching violence rise in ways that test our faith, courage, and leadership. This conversation isn't about politics — it's about calling men back to their God-given design to protect, heal, and lead with emotional and spiritual maturity.In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into what real protection looks like — not just carrying a weapon, but cultivating the emotional composure to de-escalate conflict, protect your family, and lead your community with integrity. We talk about how unhealed pain fuels chaos, how churches can prepare wisely without fear, and why it's time for men to master both strength and tenderness.This isn't a doom-and-gloom episode. It's a wake-up call to become the kind of men the world actually needs right now — men who carry wisdom, humility, and power under control. Stick around to the end; I share a personal story that'll make you laugh and think about what courage really looks like when your family's on the line.Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Why This Conversation Matters01:09 – Violence in America and the Spirit Behind It04:30 – What Is a Man's Responsibility to Protect?06:14 – Should Christians Carry Guns?09:46 – The Power of Emotional Mastery10:33 – The Story of My Son and the Shotgun14:44 – Building Church Security Without Fear17:36 – Recognizing the Same Spirit Behind Culture Wars22:40 – Healing the Root of Brokenness in Men34:53 – Final Thoughts: Competence, Courage, and CompassionCONNECT WITH BRAVECOWebsite: https://www.braveco.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

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.

In Proverbs 21, we're invited to pause and ask, What do you crave? This episode explores how our cravings shape our motives—and ultimately, our lives. The wise show restraint in speech and live with an abundance mindset, giving freely and trusting God. The fool, on the other hand, is consumed by endless craving and a scarcity mindset. Through this lens, we're challenged to examine our own motives: What are we feeding on? Are our desires making us more like Jesus, or pulling us further away?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

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.

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.

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.

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
