Kenn Blanchard","episode_count":100,"summary":"\"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.\" — Psalm 34:18 Broken & Believing is a sanctuary for the ones still standing, still trying, still trusting—sometimes with trembling hands. Hosted by Kenn, a blues‑soaked pastor, storyteller, and lifelong student of grace, this podcast sits at the intersection of faith, struggle, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going. Every episode is a conversation with the real. Not the polished. Not the perfect. The real.

Not the mirror you check before you leave the house. I'm talking about the mirror that tells the truth. The mirror that doesn't care about your title, your age, your résumé, or your excuses. The mirror that shows you you. James says that hearing God's Word without doing anything about it is like looking in that mirror, seeing something wrong, and then walking away like you didn't see a thing. And family… we've all done it.","meta_description":"Don't Walk Away From the Mirror - James 1:23-24 There's a certain kind of honesty that only shows up when you're standing in front of a mirror.
