Welcome to Beauty in the Brokenness—where we have honest conversations about the Bible, our real-life struggles, and the hope God brings for healing. This podcast is hosted by Teresa Whiting, an author, Bible teacher, and trauma-informed life coach, but mostly, a friend and fellow struggler. No matter who you are, or where you’ve been, you're invited to encounter the God of rescue, redemption, and restoration—The God who is still creating beauty— right in the midst of your brokenness.
