The Ministry of Broken Pieces

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Listen, let's get real about ministry for a moment. We
often paint ministry as this polished, perfect calling, full of inspiration,
applause and anointed moments. But there's a side of ministry
that's raw and real and messy. It's the side where
you lead while bleeding, preach through pain, and serve when
your hard feels shattered. I know what it's like to

(00:20):
stand behind the pulpit holding back tears that threaten to fall,
to smile through exhaustion, when your soul is crying out
for rest, to carry burdens that no one else sees.
But God ministry doesn't just ask for our gifts. It
often asks us to lead in our brokenness. But here's
the gospel truth. God doesn't just use our strengths. He
uses our scars. Your broken pieces are not liabilities. They're

(00:44):
the very things that make your ministry powerful and relatable.
When you show up with your wounds, God meets people
where they are, and your authenticity becomes a lifeline for
someone else. The enemy tries to tell you that brokenness
disqualifies you, but God says it qualifies. It deepens your empathy,
fuels your passion, and demonstrates the power of God's grace

(01:05):
in your life, your story, your pain, your healing journey.
These are not mistakes or distractions. They are ministry. So
if you're feeling cracked, undone, or less than perfect, I
want you to know this. Your brokenness is a sacred
place where God's power flows strongest. Embrace your imperfections, surrender
your pain, and watch God transform your ministry through the

(01:27):
very pieces you thought would hold you back.
