Bad Blood | The Blessings of Brokenness | Craig Smith
About this episode
Pastor Craig Smith discusses how God can use our brokenness as a pathway to blessing through the story of Jacob's wrestling match with God.
Can God use your brokenness to become your greatest blessing? In this message from our Bad Blood series, Pastor Craig Smith walks through Genesis 32 and Jacob's unforgettable wrestling match with God. It's a story about fear, faith, surrender, and discovering that God doesn't always remove our struggles—sometimes He uses them to transform us. Jacob spent his life fighting for blessings from other people. But after one night wrestling with God, everything changed. He received a new name, a new identity, and a deeper understanding that the greatest blessing isn't what God gives—it's God Himself. If you're walking through disappointment, uncertainty, or a season that feels broken, this message offers hope that God may be doing more than you can see. In this message, you'll discover: Why fear isn't the opposite of faith How to fight fear with God's promises Why God redirected Jacob's strength instead of removing it What it means to wrestle with God How brokenness can become the pathway to blessing No matter where you are today, God hasn't let go of you.
