Our hearts have been assaulted during these last 18 months. The enemy is attempting to derail us from our calling and our own individual healing journeys.  In this episode, we talk about the danger of leaving God out of the equation and taking control of our own lives.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

47. Don't Give Up On God

In today's podcast, I offer up a tribute to a woman who was truly MY hero of the faith. She raised me to love God and love others. What more could a child ask for but to know Jesus at a young age and live a life dedicated to serving Him?  No one does is it perfectly but I prefer to honor this 100-year-old woman in a way that respects her legacy of love for all she knew - who finally got what she longed for. To be with Jesus in a healed up body without pain, suffering, or angst. No more walker, no more tears, no more uncertainty. Just being in the presence of God waiting for the rest of us. Thank you, Mom. See ya real soon. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

46. A Tribute to My Hero of the Faith

In this upside-down Kingdom that Jesus brought to earth, we have an enemy that seeks to kill and destroy each of us in an effort to derail our healing journey and purpose in life. We must realize we're in a war for our minds and bring truth to the lies that Satan is spreading about us. In today's podcast, we dig deeper into the victory that awaits in our pursuit of life in Christ. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

45. The War For Our Minds

That dash on our tombstone - you know, the one that represents the life we lived between our start date and our end date? What we do during that time has eternal implications. Mark Twain put it so aptly. “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” The “why” has everything to do with the legacy we leave and the influence of our dash. In today's Podcast we delve deeper into the importance of our Legacy and how God orchestrates our purpose in life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

44. Legacy & The Dash on Our Tombstone

The question of how and if God speaks is a common one. Our relationship with Him is first and foremost in how that question gets answered. God does speak and we can hear His voice - in many different ways. On today's podcast, Steve explores the many facets of God's promptings and His communication with us, providing insight into how you too can experience intimacy with God in the way He was always intended.  Walking and talking with Him daily is possible. We simply need to develop a relationship with Him that allows us to do so. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

43. Hearing God

Are we living in an alternate reality? Is truth and morality relative? The research is shocking for many of us. In today's podcast, we'll answer these and a few other questions regarding the current and confused culture we're living in. Absolute truth is God's truth. It exists in His inerrant Word - His scripture. How we interpret that may differ due to many influences. Many of those influences are attacking the core of our Christian belief system. What do we do about it, if anything?  Let's have that conversation as you listen in. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

42. Truth in a Confused Culture

The pace of life has taken its toll on all of us. Nearly without exception. BUT, God walks “slowly” because he is love. If he is not love he would have gone much faster. Love has its speed. It is an inner speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It is “slow” yet it is lord over all other speeds since it is the speed of love. There’s a reason people talk about “walking with God,” not “running with God.” It’s because God is love. Join Steve in this Podcast to delve deeper into this subject and the necessity of slowing our pace of life. Credit to John Mark Comer and his book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.

41. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

As we consider the impact of one of the most traumatic global experiences of our lifetime it's important to recognize the implications for each one of us. PTSD is a real thing. On some level, we all have experienced the stress around uncertainty during this pandemic and the fallout should not be taken lightly. The antidote to fear is love. God is love and He desires to meet each of us at this moment and heal the wounds and care for our souls.  Steve explores the truth behind it all and how God will re-interpret our trauma and heal our hearts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

40. The Affects of Trauma in 2021

The Bible talks about God's view of lukewarm believers. It's clear in Revelation what He thinks of that. We live in a divided nation. The enemy is looking to assault our hearts and therefore our commitment to faith in Christ. He's also intent on derailing our ability to share that faith with an unsaved world. Steve examines the challenge of living a different way. One totally sold out toward intimacy with God and our fellow man. Loving as Jesus showed us. Uncompromised by the conditions around us in a world gone mad. What's the solution? Listen in to this week's Podcast.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

39. Out of Lukewarmness Into the Light

We all need people in relationships that are safe. Safe to talk with and converse about the most difficult issues that surround our daily lives. From there we can develop a safe community of several folks willing to walk alongside us helping in any way the Holy Spirit guides. People that we can trust to have our back without judgment are often hard to find. But God..... will do that for us. He'll guide us to those that He deems safe. In this Podcast, Colleen does a deep dive into the concept of Safe People and Safe Community in the context of developing trust with our fellow man. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

38. Safe People - Safe Community - The Pathology of Trust

So what is progressive Christianity? It sounds like it could be a good thing. Making progress in our relationship with God perhaps. But progress is a neutral word. You can progress toward falling off a cliff or toward life, health, and healing. How we do that as believers is a critical decision. Many have strayed from the foundations of the faith. In today's Podcast Steve examines the truth of scripture and the danger in any other teaching that would deviate from that truth. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

37. Another Gospel? What is Progressive Christianity?

The most significant event in human history took place roughly 2,000 years ago yesterday. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior.  On this Podcast, Steve reviews the events leading up to this life-saving moment.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

36. Passion Week

In this second of a two-part podcast, we delve deeper into our journey of wholeness through Christ. Colleen provides her take in explaining Barna's research in this 10-Stop Transformational process. Six years after beginning what he assumed would be a relatively typical research process that sought to better understand how God transforms people’s lives, researcher George Barna discovered that he had tackled a deeply challenging and amazingly revealing journey. The product of his effort was the ability to identify some of the developmental processes, experiences, and obstacles that are common across the lives of Americans of all backgrounds. He contends that while the details of people’s developmental stories differ, everyone is on a spiritual journey and there is sufficient similarity in those journeys that we can describe a normative life path – a map that can help people make greater progress if their goal is to become more Christ-like. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

35. The 10-Stop Transformational Journey Part 2

In this two-part podcast, we explore the journey toward wholeness in Christ - toward the place of exhibiting a deeply profound love of God and others. It's a process highlighted by embracing our own brokenness and discovering a different path.

34. The 10-Stop Transformational Journey Part 1

Thousands of years ago Adam and Eve made a choice. Knowing what we know now we likely would have chosen differently. Unfortunately, there were consequences to the freedom allowing them to decide to sin against their Creator. That didn't work out so well. But there's so much for us to learn about God, our view of Him, our view of ourselves, and the patterns of behavior we've been experiencing ever since. Getting close to the wounds that drive us and our "isms" used to anesthetize the pain can be challenging. Consider the healing that will take place. We see it in scripture and we see it in our own lives and those whom God brings to us as we walk out this journey. Pay attention to what He wants to say to you through Colleen's teaching. It may just get you jump-started on your journey. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

33. Consequences of the Fall - The Brain and Our Wounds
