From Pain to Purpose: How God Turns Broken People into Champions (W/ Nick Vujicic) - Ep. 166


Listen Later

What if the places of brokenness in our lives—and our children’s—are exactly where God wants to bring healing, hope, and purpose?

In today’s must-listen episode, Catherine welcomes world-renowned evangelist and bestselling author Nick Vujicic, whose life without limbs has become a global testimony that no pain is wasted in God’s hands. His newest book, Champions for the Brokenhearted, invites parents and churches to serve, love, and notice those society too often pushes aside.

 

🌟 What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • Jesus’ Heart for the Brokenhearted
    Dive deep into Isaiah 61 and discover why binding up wounds was central to Jesus’ mission—and should shape Christian parenting today.
  • Why Silence Hurts More
    Hear honest talk about why families and churches shy away from topics like abuse, bullying, addiction, and abortion—and the urgent need to speak up.
  • Actionable Compassion
    Find practical steps for helping those in pain, including specific ideas for parents to empower their kids as agents of hope.
  • Stories That Heal
    Nick Vujicic shares from his personal journey and real-life testimonies that prove brokenness does not disqualify—it prepares us to be miracles.

 

Notable Quotes

  • “Brokenness doesn’t discriminate… it’s the common denominator of humanity.”
  • “When you don’t get a miracle, you can still be one.”
  • “It’s not just about gathering a crowd—it’s about how many broken hearts your church helps heal.”

 

Why It Matters

More than ever, Christian parents must cultivate empathy and compassion in their homes. This episode equips families to move past cultural perfectionism and step boldly into the messy but sacred work of loving the hurting.
