Embracing Brokenness Ministries

What does it mean to abide in Christ? That's not a term we use often, but it is one you'll find in the Bible to describe our life in Christ. Why abide? How should we abide? There's a way things work. We bear the fruit of the Spirit only through abiding in Christ. (John 15:5) On today's podcast, our team takes a deep dive into why and how to abide in Jesus as that plays out in the current context of our days here on...

Does your work matter for eternity? We asked this same question a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, most believers don’t think so. Sure, the 1 percent of the time they spend sharing the gospel with their co-workers matters. But most Christians view the other 99 percent of their time as meaning very little in the grand scheme of things. But that’s not how God sees it.

As a follow-up to Steve's interview with Jordan Raynor, we ass...

Did you ever feel abandoned by God? You're not alone. He never promised us a rose garden, but he did say he was our ever-present help. It often doesn't always feel that way. It's the messiness of life that confuses us when we don't see God in it. Thing is - He's in everything.

In this podcast, our team discusses the challenges and opportunities to invite Him into the mess.

One of the greatest challenges we as Christ-followers face is how to then navigate our daily lives in concert with him. Life gets messy in a hurry. Jesus was clear, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 ESV)

In this podcast episode, the team here at Embracing Brokenness discuss what that means in our lives...
