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. Here, we talk about the parts of life we don't always bring to church: the disappointments we didn't see coming, the healing that takes longer than we hoped, the prayers we whisper in the dark, and the small victories that remind us God is still at work.

Our hope is not found in having a perfect family, but in serving a perfect Savior who brings grace, healing, and redemption into broken homes. That truth is perhaps the greatest lesson from David's house: God's covenant faithfulness outlasted David's family failures. It gives hope to every parent, every spouse, every child, and every believer who has ever wondered whether God can still work through a messy family.","meta_description":"David's family reminds us that even godly people have troubled homes.
