From the publisher
"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. If you're carrying something heavy… If you're rebuilding your faith… If you're learning to trust again… If you're trying to make sense of your own becoming… This is your space. Broken & Believing isn't about having all the answers. It's about walking together toward hope, one honest conversation at a time.

Ep 65Dont Walk Away From the Mirror - 65
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. 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.

Welcome all my new friends here. https://www.kennspodcast.com Psalm 34:18 — "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." If God is close to the brokenhearted, then being brokenhearted is not a disqualification. It's a location where He meets us. Shalom baby, Kenn
Ep 62Worship in the Valleys of the Shadow of Death - 62
Psalm 23:4 Family, everybody loves to talk about worship on the mountaintop. When the sun is shining, the bills are paid, the body feels strong, and the future looks bright — oh, we know how to worship then. But the older I get, the more I realize: the deepest worship doesn't come from the mountain. It comes from the valley.

Ep 58WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58
Every one of us knows what it feels like to love people who don't always love us back. Some of the deepest wounds don't come from strangers — they come from kinfolk. People who share our blood but not our values. People who take our time, drain our peace, and expect access without accountability. The Bible does not hide this reality. It speaks honestly about takers, users, manipulators, and relatives who bring strife instead of peace. Today's message is not about bitterness. It's about clarity, wisdom, and boundaries that honor God.
Ep 57Life is Life. Perspective is Everything
Brothers and sisters, we often hear people say, "Life is good" or "Life is hard." But the truth is—life itself doesn't change. Life is simply life. You either have it, or you don't. The labels we put on it—good, bad, hard, joyful—are shaped by our perspective in the moment.

Ep 53Leave it at the altar
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) I Resolve I resolve… To seek God daily, not just occasionally, To breathe His Word in rhythm, faithfully, relationally. I resolve… To trust His timing, not rush the plan, To wait with patience, resting in His hand. I resolve… To walk in obedience, though the path feels tight, To step through discomfort, still choosing what's right. I resolve… To guard my mind, my heart, my soul, To keep His Spirit steady, making Him my goal. I resolve… To forgive quickly, to love with intention, To heal with mercy, beyond all convention. I resolve… To show up for worship, to grow and to stay, To honor His presence in each passing day. I resolve… To step into purpose, not retreat in fear, To claim the calling that God made clear. And so I commit— To walk forward with God, my anchor, my guide, Through valleys and peaks, His will I'll abide. No turning back, no shadowed disguise, I resolve to live boldly, with faith in my eyes.
