The Unfolding

• Cory Nickols: From Brokenness to Purpose: Finding Identity in God: Page 256

      What do you do when life takes everything, your home, your job, even your hope? Cory Nickols knows those struggles intimately. Raised in a Christian home, he thought he understood who he was, but trauma, loss, and doubt left him questioning everything, including his value. One heartfelt prayer, “God, I want to know You,” set him on a journey through what he calls The Breaking, The Crushing, and The Stripping. These seasons challenged everything he knew about God and himself, ultimately revealing his true identity: loved, chosen, and a child of God. Today, Cory helps rescue children trapped in human trafficking, showing how God can transform brokenness into purpose. Content caution: This episode includes references to suicidal ideation, childhood sexual abuse, and human trafficking.     Show Notes:  Website: https://corynickols.com/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/corynickolsministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/corynickols/  Destiny Rescue: https://www.destinyrescue.org/  Cory’s book:  https://www.amazon.com/More-God-Not-Done-You/dp/B0F4Z3QHHH

• Peter Burton: Anxiety, Faith, and God’s Sustaining Power: Page 254

    Peter Burton was a young kid with a loving family and a faith-filled childhood, but by middle school, anxiety and OCD began to creep into his life. For years, therapy and treatment helped him manage, but by the time he hit adulthood, the weight of fear and panic attacks became overwhelming.

He begged God to heal him, but healing didn’t come.  In this episode of The Unfolding, Peter shares his journey through anxiety, the questions that challenged his faith, and the discovery of a God who sustains even in the hardest seasons. Peter is a singer, songwriter, and worship leader who recently signed with Integrity Music and Matthew West’s Story House Collective.    Show Notes:  Website:  https://www.peterburtonofficial.com/  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/peterburtonmusic/  Craig Groeschel Book:  https://www.craiggroeschel.com/books/winning-the-war-in-your-mind
