  • Courage to Be Broken: Finding God’s Strength in Vulnerability.

    Courage to Be Broken: Finding God’s Strength in Vulnerability.
    Sep 29 2025
    In this episode of Godly Man Defined, Shawn Campbell opens up about a side of manhood most men avoid: brokenness. Too often, we’re told to tough it out, keep pushing, and never show weakness. But real courage isn’t about pretending everything is fine, it’s about admitting when we can’t carry it all and bringing that weight to Jesus. Shawn draws from Hebrews 4:15–16 to remind us that Christ doesn’t just see our struggles, He understands them and meets us right in the middle of our pain. From Job’s raw grief to Paul’s reminder that God’s power is made perfect in weakness, this episode points to the truth that vulnerability is not weakness, it’s the doorway to God’s strength. Whether you feel like you’re failing as a dad, battling a hidden sin, or just exhausted from holding it all together, you’ll be reminded that you don’t have to fix yourself before coming to God. His throne is not one of judgment but of grace, and He invites us to bring everything to Him. Shawn also shares practical steps on how to live this out through honest prayer, trusted accountability, and even embracing therapy as part of the healing process. If you’ve been carrying the weight alone, this conversation will encourage you to lay it down and discover that the safest place to break is in the presence of God.
