Cracked Open – Season 2, Episode 2: RegretRegret is something we all carry at some point in life.Not just regret over mistakes, but regret over words not spoken, chances not taken, and love not fully understood.In this episode of Cracked Open, we talk honestly about regret — how it forms, how it lingers, and how it can quietly shape the way we live if we let it. This is not about shame or self-punishment. It’s about awareness, responsibility, and the possibility of growth.Regret does not always mean something was wrong. Sometimes it means something mattered. Sometimes it means we loved deeply. And sometimes it becomes the doorway to wisdom, humility, and change.This episode explores:Why regret often comes from what we didn’t doRegret in relationships, loss, and missed opportunitiesThe difference between guilt and growthHow faith can meet us in reflection without keeping us stuck in the past Songs Referenced in This EpisodeGo Rest High on That Mountain – Vince Gill[ https://youtu.be/6jXrmAKBBTU?si=nchpZSZFv58IxenX ]The Dance – Garth Brooks[ https://youtu.be/3ienkA-6G9I?si=QkUbDG4cr_QclDby ]Whiskey Lullaby – Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss[ https://youtu.be/dQugRzfD4N8?si=1GCba1c-kbuAUI34 ]Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) – Phil Collins[ https://youtu.be/UjDRcVJB-78?si=La4afTK-vgE6CtBd ]Regret does not have to define your future.It can refine it.🎧 Listen with an open heart.

🎧 Cracked Open - Season 2 Episode 1: Faith

Faith is easy when answers come quickly.

Faith is harder when silence stretches on.

In this first episode of Season 2 of Cracked Open, I talk aboutfaith—not as certainty, not as slogans, and not as blindoptimism—but as something lived when outcomes are unclear and trusthas been tested.

This episode explores:• The difference between faith in God and misplaced faith in people• Why faith is not passive, and never meant to replace action• How waiting exposes what we truly trust• Why discernment matters just as much as belief• And how real faith grounds you instead of breaking you

This isn’t a religious lecture.

It’s an honest conversation about trust, responsibility, awareness, andlearning how to move forward without losing yourself.

If you’ve ever prayed and still felt unsure…

If you’ve ever trusted and been let down…

If you’re trying to believe without lying to yourself…

This episode is for you.

CRACKED OPEN – Episode 14: HOPEIn this episode, I talk honestly about something we all struggle with:how to hold onto hope when life feels like it’s falling apart.Hope isn’t blind positivity. It’s not pretending everything is fine.It’s the quiet strength that keeps you getting up, one more day, even when your heart is cracked wide open.

📖 Episode 13 – REBUILDING | Cracked Open Sometimes life shatters in ways we never saw coming. Trust breaks, love slips through our fingers, and the future we pictured disappears overnight.But Episode 13 is about what happens after the breaking — the slow, painful, powerful process of rebuilding.In this episode, Glen talks honestly about disappointment, betrayal, hope, and the courage it takes to start again when your heart still remembers everything it lost. Through faith, reflection, and the Scripture of the Persistent Widow, he explores what rebuilding really looks like: not perfection, not pretending — but choosing to move forward even when it hurts.This episode is about rebuilding — not the polished, perfect version people talk about, but the real version: shaky hands, broken heart, wondering why life took the turn it did.It’s about the moments where everything feels like it’s falling apart, and somehow, God is still holding the pieces together even when you can’t see it.Music is part of how I survive, so in this episode I talk about the songs that helped me breathe again:🎵 Chris Stapleton – “Starting Over”➡️ Link: https://youtu.be/A3svABDnmio?si=r7JEVzQaT9K5b-qS🎵 The Script – “Breakeven (Falling to Pieces)”➡️ Link: https://youtu.be/U1ZN84MqLyI?si=88UXw7D60JAVoQxC🎵 Luke Combs – “Love You Anyway”➡️ Link: https://youtu.be/27nRqoBQLl4?si=ik2ZjlQ9_qlxKGwk🎥 Chris Stapleton explaining the meaning behind “Starting Over”➡️ Link: https://youtu.be/steoIDqfcyg?si=4SDESJ_MUxBXQXRDEach of these songs hits a different part of the heartbreak journey — acceptance, pain, love, and rebuilding your identity when the one person you wanted to share life with is gone.This episode is raw, honest, and full of the truth people don’t like to talk about:Rebuilding hurts.It’s lonely.It takes time.But it’s also where strength, character, and faith are built.If you’re in the middle of a hard season, I hope this episode gives you comfort, clarity, and a little piece of strength to get through today.Thank you for listening — your support means more than you know.#CrackedOpenPodcast #Rebuilding #HeartbreakHealing #EmotionalHealing #InspiredByMusic #LukeCombs #ChrisStapleton #TheScript #Breakups #StartingOver #FaithAndHealing #PodcastLife #LifeAfterBreakup #HealingJourney #YouAreNotAlone #GlenNunesMusic #glennunes #MusicGives #musicgiveslove #CrackedOpenIf your heart is cracked open… this one is for you.⸻⛪ Scripture of the WeekLuke 18:1–8 — The Parable of the Persistent WidowA reminder that persistence, prayer, and faith move mountains — even the ones inside your chest.⸻
