Why Your Brokenness Doesn’t Discount You With Toni Collier – 032

Do you feel disqualified because of your past?

My guest Toni Collier has learned from personal experience that when you allow God to redeem your brokenness  and surrender your life and story to Him, hope truly is possible.

Toni and I discuss how shame from past mistakes and/or abuse can be crippling, (and she has incredible stories of both)—but when God comes in, you’re given an assignment to boldly and bravely point to His strength, no longer left feeling discounted because of your weakness.

I know you’ll laugh, nod along and be inspired to be bold about your brokenness and move toward holy healing after hearing this episode!
