What an incredible journey it has been—and now, God is calling us to blaze a new trail together. It’s a privilege to witness lives being transformed, both in our hometown and around the world.
Our mission is to walk alongside each person within our reach, helping them grow deeper in their journey toward wholeness in Christ.
We dedicate significant time and resources to teaching and encouraging those who are seeking a fresh path—a new way to connect with God’s heart and find healing for their brokenness.
Our work centers on helping people identify areas of brokenness that lead to false beliefs about God, which often result in distorted views of themselves and others. These barriers hinder spiritual growth and formation. By addressing personal brokenness, we can live out the greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love others as ourselves. True healing, however, only comes through Jesus, and we aim to help people position themselves to receive it.
So, what might this look like for you? We’re here to help. Engage with our message, reach out to us, or take a first step by signing up for our Mid-Week Memo, blog, podcast, and regular updates. We even have an app you can download with all our content at your fingertips.
Our story began with a brief meeting in 1995, introduced by a mutual friend. That friend was my (Steve’s) closest companion during my late teens and early 20s—and Colleen’s soon-to-be fiancé. Little did we know that 20 years later, we would meet again at a memorial service, mourning the loss of that dear friend, who was also Colleen’s husband.
Yet, God orchestrated this second meeting with a greater purpose in mind: to bring a message of healing to anyone willing to hear it. As two individuals walking parallel paths of restoration through life’s difficulties, each of us had independently reached a point of surrender, saying, “I want to be well.” But God had even bigger plans for these transformed lives.
As co-founders of Embracing Brokenness Ministries (EBM), we are passionate about sharing this message of hope and healing. We teach, guest lecture, and organize conferences and seminars centered on the ministry’s mission. Through writing, blogging, vlogging, podcasting, and leading the work of EBM, we strive to follow God’s direction in every step of this journey.
