From Brokenness to Identity and Purpose with Sandra Glahn

Rating: All Ages

How do we overcome personal brokenness?

Acclaimed author, professor, and theologian Sandra Glahn draws from her own ten-year journey through infertility, loss, and identity crisis, and invites us to reconsider our understanding of pain, faith, and the roles we play as women in the church and society. Together, we delve into the challenging questions that rise in times of crisis—grappling with mystery, the search for meaning, and discovering how trust and community can pave the way from surviving to thriving. Whether you’re wrestling with loss, struggling with your identity, or simply seeking encouragement, this episode offers compassionate wisdom, spiritual insights, and practical resources for hope on the journey toward healing.

Key Takeaways:

The mystery of suffering: Sometimes there’s comfort in embracing mystery instead of striving for answers.
Thriving beyond expectations: We are not defined by roles or circumstances, but by our character.
Healthy community and support: It’s okay to seek new, non-triggering relationships during times of loss, and genuine comfort often means simply being present and weeping with those who weep. We all need a safe network—not just advice.
