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. Through stories, scripture, humor, and grown‑folk honesty, Kenn offers a voice that feels like a porch light—steady, warm, and welcoming.

It doesn't need a Hammond B3. It doesn't need a choir or a praise team. It's the worship that happens when you finally tell God the truth. Not the church truth. Not the rehearsed truth. Not the \"I'm blessed and highly favored\" truth. I'm talking about the real truth. The truth you don't post. The truth you don't testify about. The truth you don't want anybody to see. The truth that lives in the inward parts.
