Our journey has been nothing short of incredible. Today, God is calling us to blaze a new trail together, and we are humbled and excited to continue witnessing lives being transformed—both in our hometown and across the globe.
At the heart of Embracing Brokenness Ministries is our mission to walk alongside each person, helping them grow deeper in their journey toward wholeness in Christ. We are committed to dedicating time and resources to those seeking healing, wholeness, and a new way to connect with God’s heart.
We focus on identifying areas of brokenness that lead to false beliefs about God, which often distort our views of ourselves and others. These beliefs create barriers that hinder spiritual growth and personal transformation. When we address and heal our brokenness, we are able to live out the greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love others as ourselves. But true healing comes only through Jesus. Our mission is to help people position themselves to experience that healing in a deep and lasting way.

Our story began in 1995 with a chance meeting through a mutual friend. This friend was Steve’s closest companion in his late teens and early 20s, and Colleen’s soon-to-be fiancé. Little did we know that two decades later, we would cross paths again at a memorial service, mourning the loss of that dear friend who was also Colleen’s husband.
God, in His perfect timing, brought us together at this pivotal moment—not just to grieve, but to heal and share a message of hope. Each of us, walking parallel paths of restoration through life’s pain, had independently reached the point of surrender: “I want to be well.” But God had even bigger plans for us, transforming our lives and calling us to a shared mission of healing and restoration.
As co-founders of Embracing Brokenness Ministries, we are deeply passionate about sharing this message of hope. Through teaching, guest lectures, conferences, writing, blogging, vlogging, podcasting, and leading EBM, we strive to follow God’s direction every step of the way.
Our mission is simple: to help others experience the same restoration that has so powerfully impacted our lives. We believe that when we embrace our brokenness, we make space for God to do the miraculous.
