Holding Onto Hope When Life Is Hard (Ft. Toni Collier)

Most of us want to (and try to) avoid pain at all costs - and that includes reliving pain we experienced in the past.

Yes, we want to find healing, but as great as that sounds, the reality is that the journey to get there is not always easy. In fact, the healing process itself can be pretty painful. 

Sometimes it seems easier to try and skip past the healing process altogether. But as painful as the healing journey can be, it’s worth it!

In this episode, Jordan speaks with author, speaker, and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier, about how to discover healing after pain.

Toni shares practical steps and biblical wisdom that you won’t want to miss! Tune in to learn:
