“Brokenness, when surrendered, God can use it. But if you
try to hold on, it will just keep hurting you.” - Carol
Can God really use someone who’s failed—or someone we flat-out disagree with? Carol, Tricia, and Kelly aren’t afraid to dig into the hard and holy tension of moral failure, public ministry, and the grace that makes redemption possible. They open up about personal pain, what restoration can look like, and how brokenness in the hands of Jesus becomes a powerful testimony.
It’s a conversation about discernment, the danger of personality worship, and why it's so important to keep our eyes on Jesus—not just the people who talk about Him.
🙌 3 Takeaways:
-
God Uses Imperfect People: No one is perfect—and that includes pastors, speakers, and us. Our job isn’t to idolize people, but to follow Jesus.
-
Discernment is Essential: Look for sound doctrine, accountability, and fruit. Ask the Holy Spirit and wise counsel to guide you as you choose who to listen to.
-
Your Brokenness Isn’t Wasted: When surrendered to Christ, even the messiest parts of your story can become the most powerful parts of your testimony.
Whether you're wrestling with a public figure's failure or your own, this episode is a grace-filled reminder that God is still working—and He never wastes a surrendered heart.
