    Break My Heart for What Breaks Yours: Addiction, Abuse, and the Brokenhearted

    What does it truly mean to pray, “Lord, break my heart for what breaks Yours” — and actually mean it? In this deeply moving episode, Kimber and Catherine step into sacred, tender ground as they talk about women walking through addiction, abuse, abandonment, and unimaginable heartbreak. With raw honesty and unwavering faith, they share stories of shattered places—and the God who meets us there. Together, they gently dismantle the idea that addiction only looks like what we see in textbooks. It’s not always substances or rock-bottom headlines. Sometimes addiction is quieter. More socially acceptable. Harder to spot. Addiction can look like: The phone we can’t put down.The social media scroll that numbs comparison and loneliness.The eating habits that comfort pain.The relationships we cling to for validation.The perfectionism that masks insecurity.The need to stay busy so we never have to feel. At its core, addiction is anything we turn to instead of God to soothe what only He can heal. Kimber and Catherine explore how addiction often masks deep wounds, how abuse distorts identity, and how brokenheartedness can either harden us or lead us straight into the arms of Jesus. This conversation isn’t about quick fixes or polished testimonies. It’s about sitting in the ashes and discovering that God is still present, still restoring, still redeeming. They invite listeners to see women not as their struggles, but as daughters—chosen, pursued, and fiercely loved by a Father who never turns away. They wrestle with the hard questions: How do we respond when someone we love is trapped in addiction?Where is God in the middle of abuse?What does compassion look like without enabling?How can the Church become a refuge instead of a courtroom?And how do we confront the addictions hiding in our own hearts? With Scripture woven throughout and prayer at the center, this episode is both a lament and a call to awakening—a reminder that when we ask God to break our hearts for what breaks His, He doesn’t leave us shattered. He makes us vessels of mercy. If you’ve ever felt forgotten, misused, discarded, overlooked, or lost… this conversation is for you. And if you’ve ever whispered, “Lord, use me,” be prepared—He may first soften, search, and sanctify your heart. Come listen. Come reflect. Come surrender. Come believe again in a God who restores the brokenhearted and sets the captives free.
