Staying Positive in a Negative World — By the Power of God’s Grace (90)
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
The World Is Loud, but Grace Is Stronger Negativity has a way of filling the air like static. It’s on the news, in conversations, in the quiet corners of our own minds. But the believer’s hope is not built on the world’s volume — it’s built on God’s character. Staying positive is not pretending everything is fine. It’s remembering Who holds you when everything is shaking. Grace is not just a doctrine. Grace is oxygen for the soul. “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

When Sunday Isn’t Enough: Becoming the Christian Your Children Actually Know. (89)
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
The heart of this message is simple but sharp: the Christ you display publicly must match the Christ you embody privately. Jesus warned that some will say, “But didn’t I heal in Your name?” and He will answer, “Away from Me… I never knew you.” The danger isn’t in failing publicly — it’s in performing publicly while failing privately. Matthew 7:22–23

The God Who Moves in Cycles (88)
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Family, if you live long enough, you learn something: Life does not move in a straight line. It moves in cycles — emotional cycles, spiritual cycles, generational cycles, historical cycles. Solomon looked at the world and said: “Generations come and generations go… the sun rises and the sun sets… the wind blows… the streams flow… what has been will be again.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4‑9) He wasn’t being cynical. He was being honest. He was telling us that life repeats itself — and if we don’t understand the cycles, we will misinterpret the seasons. Some of you are in...

Worshipping God The Way You Are Wired - 87
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Worshipping God the Way You Are Wired Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 16:4–7, Psalm 73 Introducing Asaph We often think worship only happens when we sing on Sunday mornings. But true worship is much larger than a musical style or a church service. It is a lifestyle of honoring God using exactly how He built you. In the Old Testament, King David established a massive worship operation for the Ark of the Covenant. He did not just hire random volunteers. He appointed a man named Asaph as the chief worship leader. Asaph was not just a singer; he was a leader, a writer, and a visionary. Like...

“More Than You Can Handle” — The Truth Behind the Misquote - episode 86
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
The phrase “God won’t put more on you than you can handle” is not Scripture. It’s a comforting cliché, but it’s not a biblical promise. The Bible teaches something far more honest and far more hopeful: God meets you in the moments that exceed your strength. Most people are misquoting - 1 Corinthians 10:13 — but that verse is about temptation, not suffering. God provides a way of escape when you’re tempted.

How Often Do You Thank God? (84)
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
A message about gratitude, witness, and the courage to live your faith in the open. “Gratitude Has a Rhythm” Some people thank God like it’s a reaction. Some thank Him like it’s a routine. But the believer is called to thank Him like it’s a lifestyle. Thanksgiving is not what you do after God blesses you — it’s how you live because He already has.

Through The Valley (83)
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
The power of Psalm 23:4 is not in the valley, not in the shadow, not in the fear — it is in the through. You are not stuck. You are not abandoned. You are not finished. You are walking through with a God who refuses to leave your side.

The Loneliness of Good Men: A Message of Hope for the Man Who Feels Forgotten - 82
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Psalm 71:9 — “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.” "There is a loneliness that doesn't come because you've done anything wrong. It comes because you've lived long enough. The children have grown. Friends have moved away—or passed away. Retirement has changed your routine. The house is quieter. The phone rings less often. And somewhere along the way, a man who spent decades taking care of everyone else discovers that he is sitting alone with his thoughts. The hardest part is that good men rarely talk about it. They keep mowing the lawn....
info_outlineIn the Bible, Matthew 12:43–45 states that an evil spirit that leaves a person goes to arid places in search of rest, but finds none. It then says, "I will return to the house I left". When it arrives, it finds the house clean and in order, and then takes seven more wicked spirits with it, and they live there. The final condition of that man is worse than the first.
John 14:31) Seeing then they had not the protection of Angels, and were burdened with the useless observances of the Law, and the traditions of the Pharisees, the Devil returns to his former dwelling, and, taking to him seven other demons, inhabits it as before.
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
