As a crowd and self-funded ministry Embracing Brokenness counts on the generosity of donors and grantors to spread the message that God gave us around the globe. What is that message? Simply put, we are a teaching ministry that engages people locally, regionally, and throughout the world with the gospel of healing in Jesus Christ. We teach groups and individuals wanting to go deeper into their transformational journey with God how to further live into their true self…

I was in the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water when I heard the thud, bam as if the house was shaking. Couldn’t be, could it? I looked out the kitchen window to the shared driveway with the neighbor and saw the headlights of his car as he maneuvered it into his usual parking space. He always turns his car around in the driveway facing outbound. We live on a very busy road, making it easier to pull out than back out. There have been times when it looked like he would…

Saturday, December 2, 1995 - Awaken to the sounds of prison life—chains on belts with keys rattling. Doors slamming—slots opened and closed—doors being kicked for the CO (corrections officer) to come—inmates hollering—chains rattling. The sunrise over the compound and breakfast. We ate—I don't remember what. Eggs and cereal, I think—it was OK. Passed through the slot in trays and back again. That was the routine all weekend and Monday&mdash…

Webster defines hijacked in this way; to steal or to commandeer. Have you ever felt as if your true self, the one that God made you to be, has been commandeered? Stolen? Hijacked? You’re not alone. Ever since that fateful day when we surrendered to an enemy that was hell bent on tricking us into submission, we’ve been struggling to get back that one thing that was stolen from us. That one thing is simply the knowledge of our true self as we desperately look to…

I recently saw an interview with Dana White, the head of the UFC (Ultimate Fight Championship). As an entrepreneur, he’s pretty impressive. He cares about his employees, his fighters, and his bottom line and backs it up with the loyalty and the investment necessary to make it the most popular full-contact combat sport in the world. I remember when boxing was just that. The "Thrilla in Manila" was the third and final boxing match between WBA, WBC, and The…

I walked out of the grocery store twice in the last week with items I didn’t pay for. Almond milk one time, and pepperoni the other. They were in the lower part of the cart, and I neglected to scan them - one time at the self-checkout and another when I had the clerk doing all the work. I discovered the mishap when I unloaded the cart into my car and there they were. My ill-gotten gains. Immediately I said two things to myself. First, I don’t want to go back in…

I overheard a conversation by several members at an exclusive country club where I help out on Fridays as a Starter. I love being outside and enjoying God’s creation even from a golf cart on the first tee. It’s a beautiful location and a nationally ranked course. But….. I consistently hear about first-world problems. Complaints, or suggestions for improvement, are not uncommon. For example, about staff members, other golfers, the proverbial stock market…
