WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Every one of us knows what it feels like to love people who don’t always love us back. Some of the deepest wounds don’t come from strangers — they come from kinfolk. People who share our blood but not our values. People who take our time, drain our peace, and expect access without accountability. The Bible does not hide this reality. It speaks honestly about takers, users, manipulators, and relatives who bring strife instead of peace. Today’s message is not about bitterness. It’s about clarity, wisdom, and boundaries that honor God.

Life is Life. Perspective is Everything
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brothers and sisters, we often hear people say, “Life is good” or “Life is hard.” But the truth is—life itself doesn’t change. Life is simply life. You either have it, or you don’t. The labels we put on it—good, bad, hard, joyful—are shaped by our perspective in the moment.

Leave it at the altar
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) I Resolve I resolve… To seek God daily, not just occasionally, To breathe His Word in rhythm, faithfully, relationally. I resolve… To trust His timing, not rush the plan, To wait with patience, resting in His hand. I resolve… To walk in obedience, though the path feels tight, To step through discomfort, still choosing what’s right. I resolve… To guard my mind, my heart, my soul, To keep His Spirit steady, making Him my goal....

Changing the Show Title: Broken and Believing - 50
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brokenness in the Bible is not a curse but a doorway to grace: it teaches us humility, repentance, and dependence on God, opening the way for healing and transformation. • Brokenness as Humility and Repentance Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” This shows that God values a heart that admits weakness and turns back to Him Bible Hub +1. • Brokenness Precedes Renewal The Bible often portrays brokenness as the moment before restoration.

Matthew 14
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Grieve with those who grieve” is a phrase from the Bible, Romans 12:15, which encourages Christians to be compassionate and share the grief of others.
Grief is a very personal and complex emotion, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. However, here are some things to keep in mind that may help you continue to do good while you are grieving:
- Acknowledge your grief. It's important to allow yourself to feel your emotions and to grieve in your own way. Don't try to suppress your feelings or pretend that you're not hurting.
- Be kind to yourself. Grief can be physically and emotionally exhausting, so it's important to take care of yourself. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising.
- Connect with others. Talking to friends, family, or a therapist can help you process your grief and feel supported.
- Find meaning in your loss. This may involve finding ways to honor the person you lost or to carry on their legacy.
• • Focus on what you can control. You may not be able to control your grief, but you can control how you respond to it. Try to focus on the things that you can do to make a difference in the world, even if they seem small.
