Identity Hijacked
We live in a world at war. Satan would love to neutralize your impact on the kingdom in believing you have nothing to offer. Hijacking our identity is paramount to him winning the battle. In this audio clip Colleen and Steve share a bit from their story and how these tactics must be thwarted. https://soundcloud.com/embracingbrokenness/identity-hijacked Identity Hijacked

Safe people in relationships are critical to our healing journey. Trusting others with our most intimate secrets can be extremely difficult. Trust is earned but it requires us to take risks. Colleen explores the gains when we look for those who exhibit attributes of safety and non-judgmental attitudes towards us.

Not a Homeless Shelter...
……but a healing shelter. Colleen is on the Leadership Team at Water Street Mission. Some call it a homeless shelter. It is that - but it’s a lot more. She came to Water Street to help its free clinic get through the Affordable Care Act, then back to her consulting practice; at least that’s what she thought at the time. God had other plans. Seven years later her role has expanded exponentially. Her time there has been a life changing experience for…

And After All This?
“Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”2 And instantly I was in the Spirit,[a] and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. 3 The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a.…

Living the In-Between Life – The Dash on Our Tombstone
That dash on our tombstone - you know, the one that represents the life we lived between our start date and our end date? What we do during that time has eternal implications. Mark Twain put it so aptly. “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” The “why” has everything to do with the legacy we leave and the influence of our dash. When I think back on my earlier days it feels like so much time…

On the Road to Hell
I just completed the reading of a fiction novel by Joel Rosenberg entitled The Third Target. The main character in the story is J.B. Collins. A New York Times award-winning columnist covering the Middle East. Rosenberg’s writing has a distinct and prophetic tone to it. As J.B. is considering his fate and the after-life, his brother - a born-again Christian - challenged him to go deeper into the meaning of his existence and what might actually happen after death. Late…

Beauty in the Darkness
Did you know that there are at least 10 beautiful flowers that only bloom at night? One of those is the Red flare tropical water lily. I continue to be amazed and enamored by God’s creation. We can learn so much through nature. I was particularly struck by the oddity of flowers blooming at night. My innate instinct was to believe the Sun and daylight produce the most vibrant of colors, in most every living thing. Ah, but therein lies the dichotomy. Is it possible that…
