This time of the year we think of Turkey and Thanksgiving, followed closely by Christmas and New Year.  A lot of celebrating, eating and time with family and friends. But.... it's not that way for everyone. Yet, we all have one thing we can do to help ourselves and others, extend gratitude. There is always something or someone to be thankful for, especially our Creator God. Tune into this podcast for a little encouragement and a couple of suggestions for a little gratitude. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

In today's Podcast, Steve delves deeper into the practice of being in God's presence. What does that look like for each of us? Like the mental preparedness of Navy Seals, we need the same discipline in our spiritual lives.  Entering the battle for our hearts and minds we must be equipped by developing a personal intimacy with our Creator God. The one that formed us and desires to know us and be known for His love for each of us. Let's explore that together today. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

Every Believer is a work in progress. Uniquely ordained to be in relationship with God and loving others as He commands. Our enemy seeks to sideline us in the journey. Don't let discouragement, driven by the wounds of your past, give him a foothold in your life. We are all unfinished works of art that God desires to complete before he returns or you stand in His presence. In this Podcast, Steve tells his story of redemption and reclamation chronicled in a new book to be released in 2022 - 90 Days on the Inside - highlighting what's available for every follower of Jesus Christ. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/embracing-brokenness/support

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

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

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

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
