Podcasts about Hard heart

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk wrestle with the tension every ministry leader feels—developing thick skin without letting the heart grow hard. They explore criticism, cynicism, and spiritual attack, offering practical strategies to stay resilient and tender in the face of burnout.If you've ever gone home replaying harsh words on endless repeat, this conversation will equip and inspire you with a biblical path to endurance.Key Topics CoveredThick Skin vs. Hard Heart – recognizing the differenceFearless Moral Inventory – uncovering hidden resentmentsDaily Gratitude & Community – simple habits that protect your soulKey Quote“Thick skin protects you, but a tender heart keeps you loving.”Scripture ReferencesProverbs 19:11 – “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.”Psalm 119:165 – “Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.”TakeawayBurnout is more than exhaustion; it's often the slow calcification of the heart. Cultivating resilience requires both God-given armor against offense and Spirit-formed compassion for people—even critics.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you in your leadership.

Emily Wilson wrote Sincerely Stoneheart, which is a book that helps us understand what plays the enemy uses to harden your wife's heart. Emily has been involved with ministry with women for 14 years, taught high school girls and is now an author whose target audience is Christian women. She has learned that the enemy works on women in very specific ways. And by reading her books, we can learn how to understand our wive's better. This understanding will help us be more empathetic, give us more patience and also help us love our wives better. -A tender heart is not weak. The enemy wants women's heart to be hardened and cold. -The enemy wants our wife to feel like a victim. -Why do women take so many things personally? -What are some lies that the enemy uses on young girls?   Check out Emily Wilson's Website HERE Buy the new book Sincerely Stoneheart HERE Join our FREE Facebook group The Journey of a Christian Dad HERE Check out my wife's book Never Will I Ever HERE.

Thursday of the First Week in Ordinary Time. Father Dave notes how today's readings highlight both ends of the spectrum of faith. We are called to be open to how God may transform us rather than stay stubborn in our own ways. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 1-16-25

The Danger of a Hard Heart

March 9, 2025 - Making Changes: Changing my Character - “Between a rock and a hard heart” by Southwest Christian Church

When you continue to walk in darkness, you will develop a hard heart. “Walk in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them because of the hardness of their heart” (Eph 4:17-18). You can recover from a heart hardened and defiled by cosmic system thinking by using God's problem-solving device number one (Rebound: 1 John 1:9) to regain fellowship. If you are alive, there is time to fulfill God's plan for your life. “He who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11).Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/recover-heart-c0d95d

A Weak Church isn't just lacking theology. It's lacking true worship. In Part 3 of Weak Church, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell delves into the concept of spiritual stagnation and the importance of maintaining a strong worship life amid life's challenges. He explores how life's obstacles can be used by God to strengthen our covenant and encourages listeners to adopt a heart posture of worship and brokenness to truly experience the transformative power of God.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

Exodus 9:8-10:29 February 23, 2025 In the first several plagues, the Bible says “Pharaoh hardened his heart.” But then, in the last few plagues, the Bible says, “God hardened Pharaoh's heart.” Pharaoh went down a slippery slope of hardening his heart to where it seemed like he had gone beyond a point of no return. How do we avoid that? How do we prepare our heart so as not to let it harden in any way?

the parable of the "soils" (also known as the sower)

Sunday Morning Service

The bible tells us guard, garrison, protect our heart, because out of it flows the issues of life. It is this often overlooked fact that we are the gatekeeper of our own heart. Christ gave us a new one, but he put us in charge of making sure it stays connected to the vine and protected from every enemy.

God has provided rest in Christ, so do not harden your heart!

As Pharaoh refuses to let God's people go, the scriptures tell us his heart was hardened. Pharaoh becomes so determined not to let the people go that he becomes blind to his entire kingdom crumbling around him. In a culture that highly praises great determination, we also can fall into this trap. Has your heart become so determined to see something in your own life come true that you are ignoring the voice of God?

Today, I am sharing an episode from my other podcast, Weird Stuff in the Bible. Each week, I dive into a different weird topic regarding bizarre things in scripture. Hear more by subscribing to this podcast as well! And tune back in on Cross References next week to hear an interview with Chris Pace of Messenger International about his new book, Level Up.On a recent episode of this podcast, I was discussing a weird story about Moses in Exodus 4, I came across another pretty odd verse that generates some confusion among Christians: Exodus 4:21.Now, I didn't want to stop and analyze that verse because it would have taken me on a rabbit trail, and I was already trying to talk about a different weird thing, and I would have had to go down a weird-ception of weird-within-a-weird. So I decided to come back to it this week.And what does Exodus 4:21 say? Well, it's as Moses is on his way back to Egypt, and God says(Exodus 4:21)“When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. So that's strange because it raises the question of whether Pharaoh even had a choice about how everything was going to play out. Because if you know the story, Pharaoh doesn't want to let the people go, and he pays a pretty steep price for it.And yet Pharaoh never relents. All throughout the story, his heart is harder than your grandma's fruit cake at Christmas. But this claim that God would harden Pharaoh's heart makes it seem like Pharaoh wasn't even really able to let the people go if he wanted to. So what gives? Did Pharaoh have free will? And perhaps more importantly to us: do you and I have free will?I find this to be weird, and I'd like to explore why it's in the Bible. Turn to Exodus 4, and let's get weird.0:00 - Introduction2:40 - What is a Hard Heart?6:20 - God vs Pharaoh9:40 - Is Anyone at Fault?13:40 - Next Time15:25 - Would God Harden our Hearts?If you want to get in touch, my email is weirdstuffinthebible@gmail.comHosted by Luke Taylor
