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.

WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

Brokenness is not the end—it's the beginning of something God can use. As Vance Havner once said: "God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever."

Welcome to Broken and Believing—formerly Faith's Journey. This is a space for soulful seekers, for those carrying pain, and for those longing to see how God works through the cracks in our lives.

I'm Brother Kenn Blanchard—pastor, blues-rock guitarist, storyteller, and fellow traveler. Together, we'll explore faith, music, and the stories that remind us: even in brokenness, we are never alone.
