  • Nikki S. White is the heart behind “Just a Broken Believer," a Christian blog helping hesitant believers see God in everyday life, so they can grow in confidence and leave a legacy of faith for 1,000 generations.

    Now she delights in every little glimpse of God’s glory, knowing nothing is ever too small to escape God’s notice and no one is too far beyond His loving reach - even a little Sunday School girl or a broken believer.
