Recording artist Laura Story examines the brokenness of some of the heroes of our faith---men like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul---and shows how despite their flawed stories, God used them in extraordinary ways.

Can Good Things Come Out of Broken Dreams

Life rarely goes according to plan. You pray for healing, for restoration, for a clear path forward, but sometimes the answer you receive isn’t the one you hoped to get. What do you do when God doesn’t seem to fix it

In this five-session video Bible study, Grammy Award-winning artist and author Laura Story offers a tender and profound look at how to navigate life’s unexpected detours. Drawing from her own journey of walking with her husband through a brain tumor, Laura shares how to find blessing in the midst of brokenness and purpose when your plans fall apart. She weaves her own experiences with the lives of biblical heroes and reveals how their struggles with broken dreams often paved the way for God’s greater purposes.

This isn’t just a study about overcoming; it’s about understanding that God may not always fix your circumstances but will always be present in them. This study will help you find incredible joy and strength in the face of disappointment.
