Toni Collier had the chance to have a conversation with her good friend Jessica Honegger, founder of Noonday. They talk about trauma, trauma being felt as pain, and that pain being experienced alone. When we wonder how in the world we feel seen, soothed, safe, and secure, it’s through community that we find people that will look us in the eye and say, “I’m not leaving the room.” Jessica also shares a really traumatic story of her son almost drowning. She also speaks to perseverance, and how perseverance is practicing letting God love the parts we really despise. This episode will help you figure out how to heal those parts that you despise, how to welcome those aspects into your life, and how to allow them to experience freedom.Links:Author of Imperfect CouragePersonal Instagram | Going Scared Podcast Website: https://www.jessicahonegger.com/Noonday Collection Instagram | Shop the CollectionSponsor a child with Africa New Life Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?

She discusses the dangers of numbing pain instead of embracing it for true healing.

Ruth emphasizes the importance of surrendering to faith over striving for perfection, advocating for self-acceptance and recognizing one's inherent worth while navigating the challenges of life.

Welcome to a new season of the Still Coloring podcast where we dive into embracing pain. On this episode, Toni Collier has a conversation with Lysa TerKeurst about Lysa’s new book “Good Boundaries and Goodbyes.” We need to have boundaries in our lives that are strong enough to keep the bad stuff out, but permeable enough to let the good stuff in. Lysa talks about how boundaries must come from love, not bitterness, and also not because you hate somebody. Rather, you put boundaries in place because you love your heart enough to have it be healthy and protected.

In this episode, Toni Collier & Curt Thompson — a psychiatrist, brilliant speaker, and author — dive into a conversation about how Jesus comes looking for us in shame. Maybe you don’t actually believe in the most broken parts of your story where you just want to hide from the world, but it's in those places where Jesus wants to come and lead. Curt teaches us how to embrace that truth, shows us how doing things like working out gives us motivation on teaching our brain how to repair ruptures in our lives, and ultimately teaches us how to have the gratitude that we need to find hope.Links:The Soul of Desire by Curt Thompson, MDThe Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson, MDAnatomy of the Soul by Curt Thompson, MDInstagram | Being Known PodcastThe Center for Being KnownWebsite: https://curtthompsonmd.com/ Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?

Toni Collier and Ann Voskamp have a conversation about how in the depths of our valleys, we don’t have to ride out of the dark when we have the ammunition to slay the dark. Ann talks about how our greatest need is to be seen and known especially during our struggles in life, and no one sees and knows us more than our Waymaker, Jesus. He’s the only one that has ever loved you to death in all your brokenness and pain. The way is not a path, the way is a person; and that person is Jesus, our Waymaker in life.Links from this episode:Waymaker by Ann VoskampInstagram | Books | Bible StudyWebsite: https://annvoskamp.com/ Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?

Toni Collier and Jackie Hill Perry sit down to have a conversation about suffering, and what it’s like to heal while having hope & grit in the midst of pain. When you come to realize that you’re a sinner, there’s a hopelessness telling you that you aren’t good enough, giving you the tendency to turn to your idols for “fake” peace. We want our idols to soften the suffering. Because we don’t like pain.Jackie talks about the difficulty of waiting on God to relieve our suffering because His timing is not the same as ours, and also not visible. But it’s when we go to God during our trials that we find authentic peace. Toni asks Jackie a question that we all want to know the answer to; What’s the difference between getting through something painful and getting over something painful?Links:Gay Girl, Good God by Jackie Hill PerryHolier Than Thou by Jackie Hill PerryInstagram | Podcast | YouTube | Website: https://jackiehillperry.com/ Watch podcast episodes on YouTube!Connect with Toni: Personal Instagram | Broken Crayons Instagram | FacebookNewsletter: ToniJCollier.com/NewsletterWebsite: ToniJCollier.comPurchase Toni’s children’s book: Broken Crayons Still ColorPurchase Toni’s book: Brave Enough to be BrokenWant to partner with Toni or advertise on the podcast?
