What if the renewal of our communities does not begin with politics, programs or institutions—but with the transformation of the human heart?In this episode of the Embracing Brokenness Podcast, Steve talks with Rob Loughery, author of Building Redemptive Community: What Christians Can Do to Make Community Great Again.Rob has spent more than thirty years working at the intersection of business, real estate development, public service and community revitalization. But his deeper journey began when God showed him that restoring buildings and neighborhoods could never be separated from restoring people.Rob shares how a phrase he heard more than twenty years ago—“redemptive community”—captured his heart and eventually became both a calling and a way of life. He also opens up about growing up as a pastor's kid, mistaking salvation for a spiritual “get-out-of-jail-free card,” and discovering that Jesus wanted to heal and transform the heart he had spent years protecting through performance and success.Together, Steve and Rob explore:• Why transformed communities require transformed hearts• What the Church may be getting wrong about discipleship• Why Christians must do more than attend, give and leave the work to others• How our gifts, passions and stories reveal our unique Kingdom assignments• What Nehemiah teaches us about prayer, courage and rebuilding• How ordinary believers can participate in God's work of redeeming all thingsGod is already at work restoring people and places. The question is not whether He will accomplish His purposes. The question is whether we will recognize and embrace the role He has invited us to play.CONNECT WITH ROB LOUGHERYLearn more about Rob's work and Building Redemptive Community:Building Redemptive Community:https://www.buildingredemptivecommunity.com/Nehemiah Development Company:https://www.nehemiahdevco.com/The book is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.00:00 Guarding the Heart01:05 What Transforms a Community?03:05 Fast Five05:35 Rob's Story and Calling11:54 The Birth of Redemptive Community16:21 Physical, Relational and Spiritual Renewal19:33 More Than a Ticket to Heaven23:05 Losing the Life He Was Trying to Save26:28 What It Means to Guard Your Heart29:25 It Is Never Too Late32:12 What Is Wrong with Discipleship?34:58 Has the Church Outsourced Its Mission?40:58 Giving Is Not Enough45:22 Pay Attention to Your Heart47:29 Nehemiah's Roadmap51:56 What Can You Help Redeem?53:12 If Jesus Gave You One Square Mile57:25 Redemptive Community Starts Within59:33 Find Your Role in God's Story01:01:30 Where to Find Rob's Book

This Sunday, we looked at a well-known Psalm, the 127th. Our sermon is called “The Redemptive Family.” We live in a world that has seen families decimated by sin and brokenness. That's not new. We have experienced it! Family heartache begins in the book of Genesis and carries right on into the New Testament. Sin has shattered families and left a staggering and disorienting effect on many men, women and young people. Yet, there is hope.  The good news that the Scriptures reveal to us is that God has come not merely to offer us a better way to live. God has purposed to adopt us as his own children. In his wisdom and grace, God has created a new family called the church. The mission of God advances as we proclaim the hope of the gospel as a community of brothers and sisters in Christ. The mission advances as the Father and Son welcome the broken, the wounded, the abandoned, and the lost into a new community -  a redemptive family – which is built upon the mercy and grace of a Father who loves the orphan and the widow and an elder Brother who redeems and rescues the prodigal. The church is God's redemptive family.  We hope that you will join us this Sunday as we gather not just as a group of people but as God's family. Pray that God might transform your vision of the church and its mission so that more and more people will not only hear but experience the joy of belonging to the family of God.  Join us next Sunday at 9 or 11am.

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew DeRuyck, farmer, mediator, and farm management specialist, for a conversation about navigating divorce, conflict, and financial uncertainty in farm families. Drawing on decades of experience in both mediation and farm business consulting, Andrew shares how communication breakdowns, financial complexity, and unmet expectations can put enormous strain on relationships.  Together, we explore the importance of finding common ground, improving financial literacy, and creating workable solutions that protect both people and the farm.

In this moving exploration of divine restoration, Derek Peters traces the metaphor of the two-edged sword from the gates of Eden to the empty tomb of Jesus. He explains that the flaming sword, which initially guarded the way to the Tree of Life, was never intended to be an instrument of permanent exclusion, but rather a protection of the way back to a right relationship with God. By connecting the cherubim at the garden's entrance to those atop the Mercy Seat and finally to the angels at the resurrection, the sermon illustrates how God surgically uses His Word to cut away the "I am not" narratives of shame and inadequacy that hinder the believer. Ultimately, the message serves as a warm invitation for every person to stop hiding in the shadows of their failures and instead embrace their true identity in Christ, moving from a life of striving into a deep, abiding rest found in the Father's extravagant love.Referenced Scriptures:Genesis 1:26Genesis 3:21-24Exodus 25:17-22John 20:11-17Philippians 1:6Hebrews 4:9-16John 15:7

This session invites you to examine the powerful tale of Rizpah (2 Samuel 21:1-14), which symbolizes grief intertwined with strength and resilience. Embracing redemptive beauty through the lens of lament necessitates a courageous acknowledgment of pain—an indispensable step toward healing and transformation. Join us as we discuss that while rooted in sorrow, lament opens pathways to hope and renewal, showing that from despair’s depths, true beauty and new beginnings can emerge.

373 – Have you experienced God's redemptive grace in your life?What did that feel like? How did it transform your life?One of the most often quoted verses in the Bible is from Chapter 2 of EphesiansFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—(Ephesians 2:8  NIV)But if you talk to enough people, it's pretty obvious there are lots of different definitions or perspectives on what grace is and how it works in our lives.And there are different aspects of grace, just like there are many facets in a diamond.My guest today is Jennifer Sakata, an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church USA. We're going to talk specifically about God's redemptive grace. This is the grace that redeems us from our mistakes, the sins we've committed, and all the ways we've been hurt over the years. In this episode:God is writing a story in your life and the life of everyoneThe connection  between grace and our relationship to GodWhat is real grace for real life?The one thing you need to acknowledge to be able to receive God's graceHow to create space for grace to show up in your lifeThe difference between “on the ground grace” and grace as a theological conceptThe Psalm you should read if you feel far away from GodWhat happened in her mom's life after praying for her for 40+ yearsWhat does gratitude do that helps  us receive more grace?∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/373Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

This message reminds us of Jesus' radical forgiveness, and how it restores our relationship with God and others. Using the life of Jesus and real-life examples, we learn how forgiveness is more than just letting go of pain. It also involves reframing memories, hearing the stories of others, restoring the humanity of people who caused us pain, bringing our questions to God with honesty, and remembering that God has been through everything that we experience, and that he has not abandoned us.

"Recency bias" is something we can all fall victim to - putting disproportionate weight on the latest part of a picture or experience and not factoring in the whole account. Psalm 77 makes plain that this trap can ensnare us in our spiritual lives also, and when it does we must look at the larger redemptive actions of God throughout Scripture and history and be reminded once again He never leaves us or forsakes us.

Description Christopher Perrin welcomes Dr. Matthew J. Smith, founder of Hildegard College, to discuss why he left a tenure-track literature career to build a deliberately small, relationship-centered “micro college” in Southern California. Smith describes modern higher education as expensive, bureaucratically bloated, and often unable to offer a unified vision of learning—especially when general education becomes a “Wild West” and majors drift toward professional specialization rather than formation. Hildegard's alternative model centers on a common great-books curriculum organized around six foundational questions, paired with “entrepreneurial arts” that train students to design and launch real ventures rooted in meaningful work. The conversation explores why generalist formation matters in an AI-saturated economy, and why polymathy may be a more realistic pathway to flourishing than narrow specialization. Perrin and Smith then turn to Smith's forthcoming book The Lost Tradition of Beauty, arguing that modern education has lost beauty as an intellectually serious category—reducing it to ornament or aesthetics rather than a transcendent that illuminates truth and shapes goodness. They close by discussing what it would mean for schools to recover beauty not merely in décor, but in the lived environment of learning: sound, space, attention, and shared life that draws students out of themselves and toward the whole.Episode OutlineSmith's academic journey: graduate school motivations, love of the liberal arts, and entering college teachingThe problem in contemporary higher education: cost, debt, bureaucracy, specialization, and lack of a unified visionDiscovering the “alternative college” movement and visiting models (great-books and classical micro colleges)Why relationship matters: mentorship, friendship, shared curriculum, and non-anonymous learningHildegard College's distinctives: one degree, one major, one shared curriculumThe six foundational questions that organize Hildegard's great-books “Foundations of Thought” sequenceLiberal arts + entrepreneurial arts: “creative action” as redemptive work and practical formationWhy “Hildegard”: Hildegard of Bingen as a model polymath and cultural contributorStudent and faculty profiles: internships, civic partners, and bivocational teachersLiberal education in an AI economy: generalists, adaptability, and meaningful workThe Lost Tradition of Beauty: why beauty is intellectually muscular, objective, and formativeBeauty in schooling: beyond ornament to vocabulary, participation, attention, soundscape, and lived wholenessHow to learn more: admissions, preview weeks, and online “redemptive entrepreneurship” coursesKey Topics & TakeawaysHigher education often lacks a unified telos. A “comprehensive university” can produce radically different educational experiences across majors, without shared formation. Cost and debt intensify the crisis. Smith describes the economic burden alongside a weak “return” in both formation and earnings. Micro colleges can rebuild the human scale of learning. Smallness protects against anonymity and makes mentorship and accountability unavoidable. A common curriculum can generate a true academic fellowship. Shared books and shared questions create shared rites of passage and shared intellectual language.Polymathy is increasingly practical. As AI changes entry-level work, broad formation and transferable habits may matter more than narrow competencies. Entrepreneurship can be “creative action,” not mere profit-seeking. Hildegard frames entrepreneurship as participation in God's redemptive work through building and service. Beauty is not optional decoration. Smith argues beauty is objective, rationally discussable, and essential to moral and intellectual renewal. Recovering beauty begins with recovering vocabulary. Schools cannot pursue what they cannot name, describe, and practice.Questions & DiscussionWhat is the “accidental shape” of higher education you've experienced—and what does it do to formation?What would a “unified vision for learning” look like in one concrete institutional decision?Why does relationship matter so much for transformational learning?Describe a time your learning changed because of mentorship or friendship rather than content alone. What are the strengths and limits of a single, common curriculum?What do students gain when everyone reads the same books and wrestles with the same questions? Are “polymaths” a luxury—or a necessity in an AI-shaped economy?How could schools cultivate breadth without becoming shallow (depth-through-few, long apprenticeships, layered skills)?What do you think of pairing great books with “entrepreneurial arts”?If students must build real things, what guardrails ensure the building remains ordered toward the good?Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Lost Tradition of Beauty by Dr. Matthew J.

In this episode, Bryce Muir, General Superintendent for Scaffold Service, shares his journey toward radical ownership and executive leadership. Bryce discusses how a redemptive mindset and intentional gratitude for daily opportunities have shaped his "silver liner" philosophy. He highlights his commitment to a growth mindset, sharing how he actively seeks blunt feedback through mentorship to refine his communication and leadership.

Was the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD really the worst tribulation in history?In this episode of the Olivet Discourse series, Matt Plett unpacks Matthew 24 and explains why Jesus described this event as unmatched in all of history. This wasn't just physical devastation—it was a covenantal judgment. Jerusalem's rejection of Christ marked the end of the Old Covenant world and the fulfillment of God's promised curses.Drawing from Scripture, historical records from Josephus, and insights from Matthew Henry and John Calvin, this episode shows how 70 AD stands as a decisive turning point in redemptive history. You'll also see how Jesus' warnings about false prophets, tribulation, and the “coming of the Son of Man” were fulfilled in this generation—not as the end of the world, but as a Day of the Lord's judgment. This episode will sharpen your understanding of Bible prophecy, strengthen your confidence in Scripture, and refocus your attention on the advance of the Gospel in history.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Send us Fan MailA few episodes back, we looked at how Systematic Theology takes us from just seeing Scripture as individual passages and books, to seeing that it it one overarching story with coherent themes and doctrines. Today, we look at another closely related way to study Scripture - Biblical Theology. Biblical Theology traces the unfolding story of God's redemptive work through Scripture's historical progression. It asks, “How did God progressively reveal this truth? How does this passage fit into the larger narrative of redemption?”  Integrating both Systematic Theology and Biblical theology will give us an even greater understanding and love of Scripture!Thanks for tuning in!

Dr. David B. McWilliams - April 19, 2026

In today's episode, one of Trisha's clients, Holly, shares the story of two very different births and two equally different breastfeeding experiences, and what shifted between them.Her first labor began spontaneously but ended with a vacuum delivery, and the demoralizing message that her “pushes weren't productive.”  Breastfeeding was just as difficult, leading to a year of mostly exclusive pumping and undiagnosed postpartum anxiety. Four years later, she approached birth with real preparation, a clear plan, and a timely transfer of care to a midwife who immediately changed the tone of her birth experience.This episode examines how preparation, autonomy, and the right support can change not only the course of a labor, but the way a mother understands her own strength.**********Send us Fan Mail Needed

Today’s Bible Verse: “We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” — Romans 5:3–4 Romans 5:3–4 offers a perspective that feels almost upside down—finding purpose in suffering. During Lent, as we reflect on the suffering of Christ, this passage invites us to consider how our own hardships can be part of God’s shaping work in us. Want to listen without ads?
