Toni Collier | Brave Enough to be Broken...

THE GIRL NAMED BLAKE
About this episode

Author and speaker Toni Collier joins Blake to talk about the beauty of brokenness and feeling unworthy and unqualified to have a life of meaning and purpose, and how God stepped in and showed her that broken crayons still color. In her book, she reminds women of the hope that is found in hurt and the beauty that exists in brokenness. Listen in as they talk about some practical steps, personal experiences and biblical wisdom to help women process their brokenness and find healing and hope.
