When Things Shatter and Don't Go Back

What do you do when something breaks and can't be fixed? Not reshaped — actually shattered. Most of us build entire identities around those moments, and then spend years living inside the story we made up about what the breaking meant. Preached by Anthony Parrott, this sermon holds two truths at once: some things genuinely can't go back to what they were, and that's not the end. Drawing from the prophet Jeremiah and a deeply personal story about 27 years of carrying the wrong narrative, Anthony explores the difference between a heart that shatters under pressure and one that can be remolded — and what it looks like to build real life in the middle of the fragments. If you're in a season of loss, disillusionment, or rebuilding something that looks nothing like what you planned, this one's for you.
