A Million Pieces | Spoken Word | Jon Jorgenson

[@VirginiaMRodriguez]

..... 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 me.....Jon, you've changed my perspective on something that has scarred me for life. Thank you so much.

[@selenelee8896]

god bless you ♥

[@thetongueofangels1882]

Now that is beautiful. You were made for a purpose, may God continue to bless you.

[@SpiritTribeTV]

Glory

[@smriti8423]

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. 😊

[@smriti8423]

The narration in this one just adds to it. Makes it 10 times more impactful. :)

[@siruspotter7231]

smriti dawn I like his "godless generation" or "since God choose you" videos the best this is my third favorite

[@BibleMunch]

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.

[@katiedemar921]

Bible Munch I do believe god helps us on the way but we can't leave all the work to him and slump through our lives, we must gain strength, and through our strength and his guidance we can because more beautiful

Sorry but I'm atheist

[@childrenofgod3015]

Bible Munch amen

[@mackwoods186]

Thank you.

[@kokorodaki4017]

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

[@mabelgalloza3515]

A million pieces that's how we end up with the flaws we face in life! Let's take those million pieces and glue them with love,hope believe happiness and peace. Let's take the tears and wash our sorrows away! Let's forgive and start a new day. Life has an expiration date ,time goes by and does come back. Let us be a better today so we can have a better tomorrow. A miillion pieces I have to glue ,and forget that life can be blue!!!❤👼🙏

[@barbaravargas6247]

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.

[@billievm5236]

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

[@UniTea__]

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.

[@andreafreed3150]

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.

[@bettycute14]

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

[@jesslan9499]

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!

[@amywright2006]

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!

[@p.a.w.sthetravelinggamer6750]

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

[@joshuawilson687]

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

[@adammaberry9626]

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!!

[@user-lg3sw8kq8u]

This is super powerful. Another awesome, inspirational piece of art - you never disappoint Jon!

[@hannahromero2185]

This fits right in with a lot of lessons God is teaching me right now. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheMsmiracle18]

I Totally Agree!!!! :-) You Stole My Words And Said Something That I Have Been Experiencing My Entire Life Time. :-) Thank YoU For Sharing :-)

[@swiperofspines2573]

god once told me the world was gonna roll me since I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead, well the years start coming and they don't start coming, fed to the years and they hit the ground running, didn't make sence but to live for fun your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb, so much to do so much to see so what's wrong with taking the backstreets, you'll never know if you don't go, you'll never shine if you don't glow,

[@embrymilo5316]

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.

[@KyleNoelMusic]

nothing better than new poetry good stuff jon

[@kalyanikai]

Thank you for talking to my 'million pieces' this morning! I want to believe once again the 'God's plan for me is great'. Amen!

[@katherynyoung9923]

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.

[@SakuCaribou]

wow!!! Thank you!!!! this is like speaking directly to me, you just can't imagine!

[@truthspokeninlove]

Bless you Vanessa. Hope you're doing well.

[@jasonferman6867]

"Maybe now you see me as broken pieces, but you'll see an empire built by these pieces".

[@juanhinojosa4532]

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

[@versepagefall501]

pure poetry. this is what spoken word should be

[@ryangalloway7797]

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

[@MultiGoldkehlchen]

Wow you blew my mind once again! Your way of looking at things really is amazing. From one of your (Muslim) fans! Keep up the good work

[@puritanpicturesreloaded283]

How you still Muslim watching these vids? This is from the power of God's Word the Bible.

[@eminek8526]

Gabriella Fox God didn't even write the bible, unlike the Quran. But that's another subject. You don't have to be christian to understand and feel this poem.

[@MultiGoldkehlchen]

Gabriella Fox we Muslims believe in the bible for us it's just an older version of religion but Jesus still is a very important prophet for us Muslims. Regardless the poem doesn't have much to do with the bible

[@mosby_ph9360]

To the muslim bros, :) you're welcome here. Always be open to the good message.

[@eminek8526]

Elmo Ador II This is not a message, it's a poem. Finding strenght in God is NOT a christian thing or "message", it's universal. We have the same God.

[@MaryTS-C]

This was shared with us today at a women’s conference and I came home and searched for it. Absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing your work. It is so inspirational and full Of the positivity of grace in our lives through Jesus.

[@itsmedebby]

Thank you so much! I needed to hear these words.

[@jenward8877]

oh Jon. How my soul desperately needed to hear this today. Thank you from the bottom of my very broken being. Today God used you as His instrument to speak to this child's fractured soul. so... THANK YOU

[@TheHummingbird876]

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.

[@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.

[@PaigeYesLee]

This has moved me and makes me feel like the first spoken word you did, 'Message to all Women'. Very well done Sir!!! 😊❤🙏

[@traciebates3799]

God bless you, may he heal you 💙💕😄💫🙏🙏🙏God saves the lost souls who need it

[@familytire7174]

This is so powerful, is so powerful that I felt the spirit of God moving all over my body and soul. What God makes new no one can't ever break because the Lord has taken over and he is Almighty God. Amen. Thank you for that beautiful message.

[@tylershaymorace1654]

Amen❤

[@DadePomsouvan]

Poetry is not just words, but also the silent voice that speaks to our soul!

[@HaileyGraceLife]

such an important reminder. The importance of finding the beauty in the broken of life.

[@canaanlilli]

amazing! relevant! even in my work place! any one who suffers mental illness needs to hear this.

[@nandie4jesus]

Since you know that we were created for God's Glory, Thank you for being in obedience by using your talent for The Glory of God.

[@xcarleyquinn]

This is so beautiful. So powerful. So uplifting. So much talent. So much empathy in words. Thank you, Jon.

[@bevcherono]

[@evanvanzyl5649]

Thank you Jon, you give many young Christ followers such as my self and many others so much encouragement to keep running the race.

[@dancerfruit2]

All I can say is God Bless you for being obedient to God when he inspires you and you put these videos together

[@rachelv1998]

My gosh God really gave you a gift of these spoken words because they are absolutely amazing

[@jordanclark1041]

I'm an artist so my entire life revolves around reinvention so when you say a million pieces, all I can think is wow there's so much you can do with that. just think of all the beautiful things you can turn yourself into using the shattered shards of your life.

[@andrea-co3xi]

This was so empowering! Thank you so much for such beautiful spoken words

[@MatandEst]

very POWERFUL and massively ENCOURAGING. great stuff - Love from England -Mat

[@chabalakaluwasha7942]

wow. that was just for me,I feel so broken. I started wondering if I had a purpose...? But jon thank you with your spoken word, one piece of me feels like it has moved in place....

[@RiahNguyen]

This is so encouring to me, tears started flowing the minute it began. You don't know how much this spoken word means to me, thank you so much. It reminds me so much of the anima series, this is truly so beautiful, thank you Jon

[@katarinaavila1860]

JonJorgenson this poem is absolutely amazing. I love and enjoy all of your Spoken Words, but I think that this is now my favorite. You spoke with such passion that it spoke volumes. This is a breaking barriers time of poetry. Thank you for this video. I definitely needed this, and I know many people who do need to hear this. Thanks for speaking from the heart! This meant a lot. -Katarina

[@khatysoberano9516]

I'm broken. Somebody broke my heart. And now i found out it's a lesson. Thank you for the very inspiring message mr. Jon. You rebuild my broken pieces. I mean God use you to rebuild it. Thank you 💓👍

[@JensTarot]

This continues to touch me so deeply and profoundly that even after years of watching this over and over again I still can’t keep tears from forming and my arms from getting goosebumps. This is so beautiful and so powerful, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world. You have definitely touched this soul with your message ❤️

[@telego1151]

God bless you Jon. You truly are an inspiration to a lot of us including me. Thank you once more.

[@lilmomma1224]

You are an amazing soul. I needed these words. Thank you.

[@sandyanderson6694]

I was breathless when it was over. This my dear friend is my 2nd favorite piece behind Who You Are. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion. I can feel how God is going to use this piece to help so many people. On my list and beyond.

[@kaylawilson6414]

I love all of your spoken word. But this has to be by far my favorite. I love all of your poetry and writing so much. You're for sure blessed with such a wonderful talent!

[@gabriellamakhafola9617]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us Jon.

[@RichardRitchieWhite]

[@JoeHenkel]

Hahaha Shut up and take mine already. I never heard that before

[@thebeatagp]

Hey Jon great video! Loved it. Hey I was wondering how you make the text shake like that. I'd love to use that text effect in my videos as well. Thanks so much and keep the GREAT content coming!

[@ebanksstudios]

You can do it in After Effects

[@RxT7A]

Hail Jesus Christ ✝️

[@matthiaskittner]

Hi Jon, GOD's gift is growing and flowing in you. Awesome, great and powerful!

[@halosiapaage4555]

a million pieces. it's an even number. I would say I have been a million, billion, too much to count- like grains of sand. but 1 million covers it perfectly I think. I love how you go through it all and end at the million pieces part again. it looks and feels different with Hope.

[@sylvieswieton684]

O God ! So strong, so powerful, so deep, I cried... Thank you dear brother ! Be deeply blessed.

[@jaerichbeats9965]

OMG!!!!! I am a spoken word poet and this is so so so inspirational. Best spoken word I've ever watched in my life. Definitely my favorite of yours and any others. Your going to go very very far.

[@graceshea5625]

This has moved me so much!! Thank you please keep doing what you are doing because it is beautiful! God has blessed me to hear this and he knew I needed this! I know now that I can do amazing things and I hope I can inspire people as much as you have inspired me!! You don't know how much this has changed my out look on things thank you!

[@vanessagarza1576]

This was such an emotional Poem Jon. even though life is going hard and we are broken and feel like giving up is when God shows up. Even though we are broken he will build us up into a new creation for all the world to see. He will put a light in us so we can shine in the darkness and give light to other people. even though your life is not going how you planned it would go know that something greater will come in the future. You just have to keep on going and finish the race strong. Have a wonderful day/ night and God Bless. (You probably didnt expect that from a 12 year old )

[@londontolosangeles12]

I misread the title as 'A Million Pies' and was very confused haha

[@Dragonflygrl]

You're words move mountains in me. I'm struggling and find great comfort in this, thank you. ❤

[@Emma-pw2rg]

You are inspiring. You make me want to impact peoples lives . You may not believe it but you are blessed. God blessed you with the Courage to talk about the gospel in a fallen world. Keep doing what you do

[@Sycady]

One of my favorite poems of yours Jon. You're doing great and have inspired me, encouraged me, and blessed me in so many ways. The day that you'll get to heaven I know that you'll see how big and deep of an impact you have and it will rock you. Keep going Brother. Also side note: My favorite thing in this poem is that yes, I may be broken, but I'm a mosaic. It really encouraged me as I've been dealing with shame of my past recently. PS: I started writing poetry again and your inspiration was a driving force to me doing it. I've taken your ideas of creating something everyday and such and they've really helped me. Thanks for taking the time to read this! -Josh

[@racheltherese4161]

I love you Jon... I am touched through this. I needed this because right now I am in a million of pieces but I am closer to God more then ever.
