Chelsie Denson: Hey guys, welcome to the Broken But Not Forever Podcast. My name is Chelsea and I am your host. We made it. I can't believe that this day is finally here. This is a space where real stories meet real hope. My desire and my dream for this podcast has always been simple, and that is to spread hope. We find hope in God, and we find hope in people's stories and what he is helping us get through. I've had the amazing privilege over the year to sit with so many people and hear about their highest of highs and their lowest of lows of life. Stories that have encouraged me greatly and pushed me to keep going. So I thought, why not create an atmosphere where I can share these stories with other people? Where I can share these stories with you. These stories shared have one thing in common, and that's vulnerability. Vulnerability is such a hard thing to do. It's really hard to be honest about what you're dealing with or how you're struggling. We say often in my family that you are as strong as you are honest. And this is so true. When you're honest about the hardships of life, there's a bravery that bubbles up inside of you. I know for me personally. I have navigated some really hard things. I look back at seasons where I was confused, I was caught off guard, I was angry, frustrated, and even feeling broken. Yet I decided to be open and honest about what I was going through. And man, a weight was lifted. And I realized that those who I shared my story with. They felt like they weren't alone because I did that. So that's what this podcast is all about, it's sharing stories that will fill you with encouragement and hope. I am so excited to begin this journey with you. It's been a long time in the making, and I'm so ready to get started. So we are going to release bi-weekly episodes, and you better be ready. They are coming. I hope that as you listen to each episode, you hear you hear and you see yourself in each story. You may not be going through what that person is going through, but I pray that you will feel encouraged, that you'll realize that you're stronger than you think, that you're not alone, that you're never beyond healing. And you can get through this. We need people. We need people. I need people. So these stories I hope will encourage you of that as well. You may feel broken today. You may feel like there is not a positive ending to your story, but I promise you that there is hope. And I'm so ready to show you that. Thank you so much for being here. Can't wait. See you soon.
