Broken doesn’t mean discarded, it means God has something to restore. In The Art of Broken Pieces, Dan Barkley takes David’s raw confession, “a broken and contrite heart… You will not despise,” and pairs it with the imagery of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing shattered pottery with gold. The point isn’t hiding cracks, it’s redeeming them, letting the fractures tell the story of mercy.
Barkley reframes failure, shame, and regret through the gospel: God doesn’t just put you back together, He rebuilds you with grace that holds stronger than what broke you. In a culture obsessed with appearances, this message is a call to surrender the pieces, because God can turn the very places you wanted to conceal into the most compelling proof of His restoration.
