Same-Sex Attraction, Mental Illness, Suicidality, & the Love of Jesus: Brenna Blain's Story - Part 1 (SHAME TO SHINING SERIES)

Teresa Whiting hosts Beauty in the Brokenness, a space crafted for Christian women navigating the complex intersections of faith, sexuality, and personal wellness. As an author and trauma-informed life coach, Teresa approaches Bible study not as a distant academic exercise, but as a practical source of strength for daily life. Her voice is that of a compassionate guide, someone who understands struggle firsthand and refuses to shy away from difficult topics. In each episode, you'll find candid discussions that aim to dismantle shame, particularly around sexuality and body image, while firmly rooting every conversation in the hope of spiritual freedom. This podcast recognizes that healing is a holistic journey, touching on aspects of mental, physical, and spiritual health as interconnected parts of a whole life. It’s for anyone who has ever felt fractured, questioning how their faith meets their very real human experiences. Through these honest dialogues, the recurring theme is one of encountering a God actively involved in restoration, offering redemption for every broken piece. Tune in for a blend of thoughtful scripture exploration and relatable storytelling that feels less like a lecture and more like a conversation with a trusted friend.
