I tried to hold back tears, and then you said, "I may walk with a limp, but my spirit has never been stronger." Then I lost it.
As someone who was literally born with a limp, that just hit you've changed my perspective on something that has scarred me for life. Thank you so much.

Only Jesus can take the broken, and rebuild it into something more beautiful than the original.

Not our strength - His.
Not our credit - His.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

Sir, I don't know much about you. I watch your videos once in a while.., But right now am just staring at my phone screen, shook and stumped. Am pretty sure this is by far your best work. I hope it reaches to more and more people. I have related to it on another level and I am not in a state to write about it much. But thank you. It was so powerful. This will stay with me for a long time. Thank you. More love and goodness in your life. W.o.W. 😊

[kokorodaki]

In my opinion, this is easily the best of your spoken word videos. The editing was perfect, the music was amazing, and of course, the writing itself was great. And wow, that mosaic metaphor, so good.
Thanks for the video Jon, loved it :P

I needed this so much lately. It's exactly how I fell....one word....broken and having a difficulty getting up and putting the pieces together again. I truly believe that God puts what we need in our path at the right time. I just happen to come across this poem today yet I've been listening to you for quite some time. It helps the hurt I feel at the present time.

Jon, I want to thank you. I discovered your works (specifically this one, Sticks and Stones and a few others) a long time ago when I was in the midst of my depression. I have not been able to find comfort in faith, in my life. And for a very long time I believed there was no hope at all for me. For anything to get better. For my trauma and physical wounds to heal, for my muscles to relax and my mind to lose it's chaos. But I discovered your words, and they spoke to me in a way no one and nothing had ever been able to reach me. This poem specifically showed me how I could find a way to become whole again- through art. I started writing Spoken Word poetry, following your example. I wrote about suicide and anxiety and trauma and every little bit of pain I felt. I've written about forty of these poems over the past one and a half year. And they helped me find a place for all the darkness, and they helped me find a sort of artistic beauty in things that, before, I could only hate. They gave me a new passion. One that carried me out of the darkness and into the light in which I now find myself, and I am grateful to you for showing me that path.

There are so many colliding challenges in my life right now, and it's always great to hear words that pick me back up again. Thanks so much! I needed to listen to that.

I think this is my new favorite spoken word. Like ever.

Jon I woke this morning much like the ones before it feeling low, unsure of how to work thru the mess that my life has become.

You see i have been in an abusive marriage for 15 years this month and I want out. I am tired of the fear and pain. The words he yells that create deeper scars than a blade ever could. The mind games and controlling every breathe I'm allowed to take and when. My domestic violence counselor tells me I need to get out. it's terrifying when you literally have no one on earth but the one whose hurting you.

I have felt lucky to find your poetry and sermons on here as I have felt a connection to God thru your message when I have felt the connection to God be so weak within me. I have a playlist I have of the videos you've created that blessed me. I went looking to listen to those this morning, but this video was there and I clicked on it and now I feel overwhelmed with emotion because I feel so broken, but your poem made me feel empowered!!!

Thank you for being who you are and for letting God work thru you in such a mighty way!

[juanhinojosa]

Sharing is the best gift you could ever give anyone. Thank you and God keep you blessed.

[jesslan]

I watch this video every night. I am broken into a million pieces. I promise that this mighty warrior will rise. These tears are not for you Brad Dawson!

[billievm]

I love the whole mosaic metaphor, and the line "These tears? They're not for you."

[katherynyoung]

Thank you Jon. That was, I think, your most beautiful spoken word yet, and so far the most inspiring to me. I've been thinking recently (and by recently, I mean for the past two or so years) about how much more beautiful and strangely better we are once we are broken for God, once He has put us back together again, still broken, but also infinitely stronger than we were before because the cracks are filled with the Holy Spirit and that is the strongest glue in the universe. This spoken word/poem reminded me of that today, a day where I have felt so tired and was reminded of the pain I felt when I was breaking. You've reminded me today, Jon, of the beauty that came after, the healing and the strength and the purpose. Thank you. Being broken isn't always fun, but it's so much better than when we thought we were whole.

[p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer]

I have not only came back to this over the years but sent it to more people than I'm proud to say.

[ryangalloway]

Thank you Jon Jorgenson. Thank you for helping me know every thing is going to be ok.

[adammaberry]

I have watched this video 238 times now. It keeps me alive, literally.... I keep going.... You remind me of a young Matt Chandler who is a good friend of mine. Thank you!!

[joshuawilson]

Bro, ... 🙏🏽, ... God is using you to encourage me is many ways.

[ChaunceyS]

There are some days where I NEED to hear something just to keep me going... and this is it. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video, because I've honestly lost count. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you.

[TheHummingbird]

Jon (and Sweet Bee-a :) ) This... is...awe...some!!! I am in a million and ten pieces and day in, day out I fight to let the Holy Spirit rescue my mind from the brokenness. This is an inspiration. When I put pen to paper and really get my thoughts out it's nothing like this and this makes me want to actually write things like this to perform and help others through the word. God is great. In my brokenness I crave that being my driving force, my peace and to just let go of all I know and fall into His arms. Thank you for this and I thank God for you.

This is so beautiful and relatable for me. I did something that most people consider okay and expected, but for me broke my heart. I’ve always been the good girl and always wanted to be that way. When I screwed up, I was shattered. What followed was depression, anxiety, and a very bad emo haircut. I was tired of always trying to be good when I seemed to always fail. This helps a lot. It’s been a couple years, I think, but I’m still suffering he consequences. Most of the consequences was having to live with me in my head. It also spawned ocd. This is encouraging for me because I’ve been trying so hard to pick myself up that I forget that God wants me to kneel.
