In this episode of The Broken, we wrestle with one of the most controversial and misunderstood teachings of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Matthew.

Meekness isn’t weakness. It’s power under control.

We explore what it means to enter the fire without being consumed, to feel deeply without being ruled, and to car...

So many of us believe God has a personal calling for every career, every platform, every ambition. But what if He hasn’t? In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth that God’s call is rarely about self-fulfillment and often has little to do with the jobs we hold.

We explore how pride infiltrates the heart, the home, leadership, and culture—often disguised as self-worth, national pride, or personal identity. This episode challenges modern language,...

The Addiction Nobody Talks About: Comfort Comfort isn’t usually framed as a problem. It’s often praised as wisdom, stability, or even self-care.

This isn’t a conversation about obvious sin or dramatic collaps...

This is not an attack on ment...

Modern culture has pushed masculinity and femininity into extremes — soft or strong, dominant or passive, independent or invisible.
