EPISODE QUOTES:
“What things are actually being stopped or avoided or barricaded out of our lives because we've been trauma so deep Some blessings, they are ours, but they're the kind of like airplanes waiting for that landing pad. They got to keep circling over and over and over because there's some trash on the landing strip. And God loved you and them too much to allow that to land and enter into your life. “
- Broderick McBride
“I’m learning now, in my mid 30s, that life is all about breaking, mending and re breaking again.“- Broderick McBride
“The biggest problem that has held me back from being able to grow... my issue with God and with therapy”
