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. Like clay in the potter’s hand, our self-will must be...

The Sin of Not Resting
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile. Here’s how Scripture frames this: 🕊️ Rest as a Divine Command • God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2–3, blessing the seventh day and sanctifying it. • The Sabbath was not optional—it was a covenant sign between God and Israel (Exodus 31:13–17). • Ignoring rest was treated as rebellion. In Numbers 15:32–36, a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to...

Your Mileage May Vary - 44
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Your mileage may vary" is an idiomatic phrase is relatively new that was first used in car sales now is used as your experiences may be different than others. In your faith journey. You will be using the amount of faith you have been given by God. And in your lifetime, you have the opportunity to grow your faith based on the trials, tests and situations that will happen in your life. Jesus taught that it doesn’t take much faith to move a “mountain”, but we take a lifetime to learn that. In your life you will experience things that...
info_outlineThat question echoes straight out of Philippians 1:18, where Paul writes, “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
In context, Paul was imprisoned, and some people were preaching Christ with selfish motives—maybe even to stir up trouble for him. But Paul’s response is striking: what matters most is that the message of Christ is going out, regardless of the messenger’s intent. That’s a powerful lens for life—focusing not on ego, reputation, or control, but on purpose and impact.
Zooming out, the Bible often reframes “what matters” in terms of eternity. In 2 Corinthians 4:18, Paul reminds us to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, because “what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” And in Micah 6:8, the prophet boils it down to this: “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
So when you ask, “What does it matter?”—the biblical answer is: it matters if it reflects Christ, if it builds others up, and if it echoes eternity. Your struggle may be to help someone else. Don't take it as "Woe is Me." God is in it. Give Him glory.
Thank you for checking it out. Have a good week.
Shalom baby.
