Thank you for joining us for today's episode. Today, we're joined by John Jarman, who shares his story of why God uses the broken and redeemed.

Get ready to be inspired by this story of redemption that can only come from the mercy and grace of our Lord Jesus. John will have the attention of you and your listeners right from the start of your show. John is honest, passionate, and knowledgeable. He's also incredibly inspiring. John is a breath of fresh air in today's world. With no memory of his childhood till the age of twelve, John Jarman had no conscious way to overcome the unknown pain in his past. When his adult life crumbled around him, he finally reached out for professional help, both emotionally and spiritually. Over the next ten years, this inner work lead John to places he—and his counselor—would never have expected. As John moved closer to God in the process, the storm hit harder than ever, taking him to his knees. Discover how John got up and, by the grace of God, walked through the storm of his life and strengthened his faith through completely surrendering to his Heavenly Father. As John learned and shares in this book, trusting God and becoming vulnerable are the only way to true freedom. In Broken and Redeemed, John Jarman shares a story of beautiful, authentic brokenness that rests in the redemption only found in God.

In today's episode, we speak with Rich Kirkpatrick. He shares a powerful story about how God is using him in the creative space and how we can be used by God in that way too.

According to Rich, "I've been blogging since 2005. Since then I have met people all over the US as a speaker, friend, and leader who fit in what I call the creative tribe—or what some call 'creatives.' Growing up in a very strict environment as a creative meant dealing with structures and relationships that saw success as uniformity and conformity. It took me years of life experience and research to uncover that my natural inclination for curiosity that challenges the status quo is not only healthy, but a missing value in our workplaces, schools and personal growth. What if creativity is a process that we can all learn and grow from? There is science that proves it. We are all wired to create. So, here's the good news. Learning the creative process might help us become a better version of ourselves—our truer selves!"

Rich Kirkpatrick writes, consults, and speaks about the intersection of creativity, faith and leadership. In 2022 he authored MINDBLOWN: Unlock Your Creative Genius by Bridging Science and Magic. He is also a musician, songwriter, and recording artist with the group A Beautiful Liturgy. Rich is based in the East San Francisco Bay Area, CA.

Brenda says, "Like we meet on Friday nights." Brenda is the mom to four now-grown men. This decision of all of her brave decisions has shaped her the most. Brenda did not birth her boys but she did raise her boys to help them break their own generational curses. Her story exemplifies the beauty that Jesus offers. Brenda says, "My brave decisions have led to some smashed-heart seasons of my life. Christians are not exempt from pain and pain is the beginning of growth. I wrote a unique small book about how to really help someone through a smashed-heart season. The book is called I Wish I Could Take Away Your Pain. Yes, it is autobiographical but it is more practical. It’s only 28 pages and has doodles."
