Episode 172 - Michael John Cusick, "Surfing for God, Part 4: Gathering the Broken Places"

“It’s important to understand our brokenness because it’s what drives our sinful patterns, our addictions, and our compulsions.” - Michael John CusickThe following is an excerpt from Michael John Cusick’s book, “Surfing for God”.“King David was a man intimately acquainted with his brokenness. Aware of his divided heart, he wrote in the Psalms, “Train me, God, to walk straight; then I’ll follow your true path. Put me together, one heart and mind; then, undivided, I’ll worship in joyful fear.” (Ps. 86:11 MSG)As a man heals from his bondage to porn, he must understand his brokenness and allow it to compel him toward Jesus. Our brokenness is our only requirement for receiving God’s grace.”On this episode of Restoring the Soul, you will discover the 5 Ws of Brokenness:Wickedness - sin that has gone really far.
