Episode notes
Created For Connection
- Humans are created for connection and feel relief when they receive blessing and acceptance.
- Lacking blessing drives self-medication like fame, money, or substance use but never fills the void.
Brokenness Brings Us Near God
- Brokenness invites God to meet us where we hurt and can deepen dependence on Him.
- Being close to the brokenhearted is part of God's design, not a failure of faith.
Keep A Blessing Journal
- Keep a running record of times God shows up to fight discouragement and build trust.
- Review those entries often to remind yourself God acts even when you can't see immediate change.
