Podcasts about Matters of the Heart

On this episode we discuss the hard truth that Healing is not your partner's assignment. It is a beautiful thing to be loved, supported, and seen by your partner. But there is a distinct line between a partner who supports your journey and a partner you expect to fix your pain. When we place the burden of our emotional healing on someone else, we set our relationships up to fail. Your soul is your own responsibility. A thriving relationship is about two whole individuals moving toward a shared legacy, rather than two broken pieces leaning against each other to stay upright.

Many of us overlook our emotional well-being while focusing on everyone else's needs. Yet the relationship we have with ourselves shapes the quality of every connection in our lives. My guest is Dr. Thema Bryant, who explores emotional healing, self-awareness, and the hidden patterns that influence how we love and relate to others. Drawing from her book Matters of the Heart, she shares insights on people-pleasing, emotional availability, trust, and healing the wounds that keep us stuck in unhealthy relationship cycles. Dr. Thema is a licensed psychologist, ordained minister, professor, author, and speaker whose work focuses on emotional healing, trauma recovery, relationships, and self-worth. She is the past president of the American Psychological Association and a professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, where she directs the Culture and Trauma Research Laboratory. If you've ever struggled with self-neglect, emotional disconnection, or unhealthy patterns in love, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on what it means to heal and build healthier relationships.

Matters of the Heart: Raising the Bar | The Point with Rev David Whyte & Hafsah Godsil   Are we just following the rules, or are we addressing the root? In this episode of The Point, Reverend David Whyte and Hafsah Godsil return to Jesus's radical Sermon on the Mount to explore the "You Have Heard It Said" sayings in Matthew 5:21–48.   The show opens with a powerful spoken word piece by Hafsah, comparing God's corrective work to that of a surgeon who must "cut, remove, replace, and repair" the hidden issues of the heart.   In this episode, we dive into: Beyond the Surface: Why Jesus prefaces his teaching by stating he didn't come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it—setting a standard that reaches far beyond outward actions. The Root of Murder: How unresolved anger and contempt (calling a brother "Raca" or an "idiot") are judged on the same level as the physical act of murder. True Reconcilation: The vital importance of settling conflicts with others before presenting our "gifts" or worship to God. Lust vs. Intimacy: Addressing the heart's craving for intimacy and why Jesus identifies "the look" as the beginning of adultery. Radical Resistance: A fresh look at "turning the other cheek" and "going the extra mile"—not as passivity, but as an unexpected response that forces an oppressor to reconsider their actions. As Hafsah reminds us, "You can't treat something that you're also desperately trying to hide". Join us as we reflect on what it means to stop being "surface humans" and start living out the true intent of God's Word.   Follow Hafsah Godsil: Poetry Page: The Ripple Effect (@therippleeffect) New Instagram: @thepointpodcast   The views expressed in this podcast are personal and do not necessarily represent the views of Affinity Xtra.   #ThePoint #AffinityXtra #SermonOnTheMount #MattersOfTheHeart #RevDavidWhyte #HafsahGodsil #BibleStudy #Matthew5 #SpokenWord #Faith #ChristianPodcast #HeartSurgeon   https://youtu.be/DOzlGJWOtto

Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series with this 27th message, again titled Matters of the Heart and taken from Mark 7:14-23. Having addressed the root problem of authority, Jesus does not address where defilement and impurity come from. Like authority, this is a matter of the heart. Jesus continues reveal that God's kingdom is about an inside-out change rather than an outside-in one.

Merlin Miller continues the Gospel of Mark series with this 26th message titled Matters of the Heart and taken from Mark 7:1-13. Jesus is once again opposed by the Pharisees and scribes, this time over the issue of purification. But before Jesus addresses this issue he reveals a far deeper problem: our hearts have problems with authority.

Letting God work on your heart posture. The things hidden in our subconscious. We have to understand that flowing from my heart are the issues of our heart and they're not always Kingdom. We have to understand that God is everything we need to heal delivering set us free from anger bitterness broken heart unforgiveness traumas they keep us hostage.

1 Samuel 16: Unlike man, God judges us not on outward appearances, but by the heart.

We close the series digging into the "New Heart". Jesus gives us a NEW heart when He enters our heart. Why does our heart matter, because it matters to Jesus.

As we continue in this series, we deep dive into the "broken heart". As we will all experience one someday, what can we do and what does Jesus do in those times.

Matters of the Heart — Pastor Ken Claytor Jesus spoke explicitly about the affect money has on our souls. In today's message, Pastor Ken Claytor from Alive Church shares on the life-changing power of generosity. To learn more about Access Church, visit access.tv

We continue our series, but we look at the "Divided Heart". We invest time, effort, and energy into things that divide our heart from following Jesus.

Kicking off a new series about how the condition of our heart shapes our relationship with God and others. Learning to have our heart guarded and not distracted from focusing on what matters most.

Today's episode is personal for me. I want to frankly discuss things that children will not learn in school...things that they are banned from learning, but we MUST teach them.

Have you ever considered what it truly means to live as a follower of Jesus in the day-to-day? In this message, Jerry Jones unpacks the challenge and the joy of walking in step with Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he helps us see that discipleship isn't about grand gestures—it's about daily obedience, surrender, and faithfulness.

There are two conditions that are a bit hard to define because they are invisible boundary lines, yet they often have a very strong effect on your life. Those two conditions that may be interacting are soul ties and being able to establish healthy boundaries. Both of these are hard to define because you can't point to a specific behavior to verify them. They both have to do with our heart attitudes, and they are both important because they can hinder our free will. In this podcast, we are going to look at how unhealthy soul ties might be reinforcing unhealthy boundaries. If you are not sure what I am talking about, I understand. Come along with me, and we will attempt to show how these two interact and may be causing you to struggle, and you might not even be aware.
