Real life stories of brokenness and the beauty that can be born in the healing journey.

    Take Care of Each Other

    Take Care of Each Other

    In honor of Mother’s Day this podcast features our host, Mia’s, mom. She shares ideas and insights into how to care for people who are in a broken season and why it is so important that we make others feel seen and loved.
    What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
    If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
    and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
    So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
    James 2:14-17

Being more beautiful in our brokenness is such a fitting theme for this podcast! I love hearing the stories of the ways people have used their brokenness to glorify God and find a more beautiful path ahead, even if it is more painful
