Embracing Brokenness Ministries Steve and Colleen Adams

Does your work matter for eternity? Sadly, most believers don’t think so. Sure, the 1 percent of the time they spend sharing the gospel with their co-workers matters. But most Christians view the other 99 percent of their time as meaning very little in the grand scheme of things. But that’s not how God sees it.

Jordan Raynor joins Steve in this week's podcast as they uncover why secular work is a sacred assignment.

“The Sacredness of Secular Work does an extraordinary job of being both personally relevant and, more importantly, biblically faithful.”—Randy Alcorn, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven

Sentenced to life in prison, Greg Womack shares his story of salvation, redemption, and restoration. How God met him right where he was, behind bars, with no hope of seeing anything other than prison walls until the day he died. But God.... 28 years later, had something else in store.

In this week's podcast, Steve interviews Greg as he shares a miraculous intervention by a God who had something else in mind in his new-found freedom in Christ.

Did you ever feel abandoned by God? You're not alone. He never promised us a rose garden, but he did say he was our ever-present help. It often doesn't always feel that way. It's the messiness of life that confuses us when we don't see God in it. Thing is - He's in everything.

In this podcast, our team discusses the challenges and opportunities to invite Him into the mess.

One of the greatest challenges we as Christ-followers face is how to then navigate our daily lives in concert with him. Life gets messy in a hurry. Jesus was clear, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 ESV)

In this podcast episode, the team here at Embracing Brokenness discuss what that means in our lives, with a perspective that may help you to see the mess in the middle as an opportunity to grow in your journey with Christ.
