“See, I am doing a new thing…” (Isaiah 43:19)In this episode, we're unpacking what biblical new beginnings look like—through surrender, obedience, and trust in God’s plan and timing. Whether you’re entering a new season, rebuilding after loss, or simply longing for renewal, this episode points you back to the God who restores, redeems, and makes all things new and the God you can trust. Sometimes we walk through valley seasons—marked by doubt, questions, and the struggle to fully show up each day for God, our families, and ourselves.

These seasons of hardship are not wasted; they refine us, build godly character, and prepare us for what’s next. In this episode, we talk about embracing the struggle, trusting the molding process, and allowing God to shape us into something new as we step into a new season and a new beginning.

In this very first episode of Broken but Called, I’m pulling back to curtain and sharing some of my own story and the why behind this podcast. From wrestling with doubt, to surrendering to the call, this episode is the messy-beautiful beginning of a podcast born from brokenness but rooted in purpose. You’ll hear how God whispered (and sometimes shouted, ha!) for over a year that it was time to speak up. We’ll talk about how the name Broken but Called came straight from a place of prayer (literally), why it matters and what you can expect from this space moving forward. So whether you’re driving, folding laundry or hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace (no judgement here!), I invite you to listen in and find your own story in mine. Because yes - you’re broken. But girl, you’re also called and deeply, deeply loved by God.
