Gold in the Cracks — The God Who Restores

Before we surrender our hearts to Jesus, we spend years trying to fix ourselves.We manage our emotions.We hide our wounds.We strive to become better versions of ourselves.But the cracks remain.In this episode, Kristen shares how true restoration does not come from self-effort — it comes from surrender. Through the powerful metaphor of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, we explore how God does not discard what is broken. He restores it. He highlights it. He redeems it.Psalm 51:10 reminds us that God is not just a repairman — He is the Creator. He knows the original design of your heart. And when you surrender your brokenness to Him, He forms something beautiful from what once felt shattered.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why self-repair never fully worksWhat it means to surrender your whole heartHow God restores according to your original designWhy your cracks are not your shame — they are your testimonyIf you’ve been quietly trying to hold yourself together…If you’re tired of striving…If you’re longing for restoration at the root…This episode is for you.I would truly love to hear your thoughts.Your feedback means so much to me.You can email me at [email protected] connect with me at heart2heartministry.comI’d love to hear from you 🤍If this episode encouraged you, please follow, subscribe, and share it with a woman who needs to know that restoration is possible.About the PodcastThe Whole Hearted Woman Podcast with Kristen Rey is a faith-based podcast for women who love God — or want to — but know there are parts of their heart that still need healing.
