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

The Bible presents marriage as a sacred, lifelong covenant, established by God and reflecting the profound unity and commitment expected between spouses, upheld by love, faithfulness, and divine authority.
The sunk-cost fallacy in this setting is the tendency of Christian men to remain in relationships primarily to avoid "wasting" prior investments—time, effort, commitment—rather than making choices based on what is spiritually and relationally healthy moving forward. This cognitive bias, intertwined with faith-based duties and fears, can make leaving difficult even when it may be the most loving and wise decision.
It is generally not healthy or advisable to stay long-term in relationships that are persistently unhealthy or unfulfilling. However, remaining temporarily may be justified when circumstances such as safety, financial or caregiving dependencies, or a genuine mutual commitment to change exist. The decision to stay should be grounded in clear-eyed self-assessment, realistic expectations of improvement, personal safety, and prioritization of emotional well-being. Staying with hope or fear alone, without tangible progress or support, often causes prolonged harm.
Men are indeed victims of domestic and intimate partner violence, despite common misconceptions that abuse mainly affects women. Studies show that about 1 in 4 men will experience some form of physical abuse during their lifetime, and as many as 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner.
