Have you ever felt like you're barely holding on—bruised by life, worn down by suffering, or overlooked by others? This episode is a powerful reminder that God sees you, values you, and does not cast you aside.
Join us as we explore the beautiful imagery of the bruised reed found in Isaiah 42 and echoed in Matthew 12. Jesus doesn’t break the bruised or extinguish the dimly burning. Instead, He brings justice gently, faithfully, and with compassion.
This is a message for anyone feeling fragile or forgotten. Be reminded today: You are not discarded—you are deeply loved by the King.
