It’s heartbreaking to realize how many of us are walking around day-to-day with the things that try to take our joy. Things like pain, shame, and regret. Things that leave us overwhelmed and broken. Our guest today, Toni Collier, author of the book, Brave Enough to be Broken: How to Embrace Your Pain and Discover Hope and Healing, is here with us to share Biblical wisdom and practical steps to help you stand in your brokenness and experience healing. Jesus longs for you to understand that you are worthy of the healing he offers.
