Summary
Toni Collier is with us today talking about the brokenness we feel in this world and how to work through it in our own lives as well as the lives of our children.
I had never met Toni before this conversation, and we had an instant connection that I’m sure you’re going to feel too. She’s vulnerable and authentic in the hardest places she’s faced in life, and also hilariously funny and wise. Here’s a few of the topics we cover:
- Narratives we believe that keep us from healing
- Knowing the difference between being a fan of Jesus versus a follower
- Affirming our kids in the very midst of their brokenness
- Overcoming the need to appear perfect
And a little behind the scenes tidbit: Toni recorded this conversation in her car on the side of the road because she was late after a dentist appointment. You would never know because she is on 🔥, but it made for some hilarious banter.

| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. The identity attacking thing that the enemy did in me when my daughter was, you know, released from |
| 0:40.7 | multiple schools, not accepted into schools because of her behavior challenges, was one of |
| 0:46.3 | the most devastating and crushing moments of my life. |
| 0:49.1 | I mean, I can't even explain to you how my achiever just popped up and revved up and |
| 0:55.0 | probably got way too upset with her and her behavior and wasn't patient with her. |
| 0:59.0 | Then we got diagnosis and the guilt and the shame of like, well, dang it I thought she was just bad, but really? |
| 1:04.0 | She's actually struggling with things like, I mean, it has been a really hard journey to the point now where we're doing homeschool and that's okay, you know. |
| 1:13.6 | But there's two things that I think |
| 1:16.5 | that really allowed us to overcome. |
| 1:19.7 | Number one, it was affirming my daughter |
| 1:22.3 | when I didn't want to. |
| 1:24.1 | When her behavior attacked my identity, |
| 1:26.8 | the last thing I wanted to do was affirm her and affirm the goodness in her. |
| 1:30.3 | Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Mess. |

| 1:45.6 | You guys, Tony Collier is on today. |
| 1:48.0 | I'm going to talk more about this in a second, but I did not know of Tony Collier had |
