57. Reclaiming Self Love with Brandon Broussard

From Self-Hatred to Freedom: Identity, Faith, and Brandon Broussard’s Redemption Story | Show Up

On Show Up, Pastor Brian talks with Brandon Broussard about identity, self-hatred, and faith, drawing from their work at Uprising Addiction Center. They discuss how people often hate themselves because they believe the wrong story and identify with what they’ve done rather than who they are, emphasizing forgiveness, learning to love yourself, and that faith is what the adversary attacks most. Brandon shares his testimony of a 17-year IV drug addiction, open-heart surgery from a blood infection, encountering Jesus in 2013, and fully surrendering in 2017 as the Word of God transformed his life. They reflect on marriage as laying down your life, embracing suffering with Christ, grace in the struggle, and the power of Scripture to break strongholds. Brandon prays for those battling self-hatred, and Pastor Brian shares crisis and rehab contact information.
