Podcasts about Pure Heart

What would you give up to keep God close? Preston has walked with Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe Carnes for more than 25 years, going back to the early youth ministry days. In this conversation, the three of them sit down to talk about Psalm 24, what it means to have clean hands and a pure heart, and what it has costs to protect that. Cody and Kari describe purity of heart as something closer to a garden, tended every day, one small weed at a time, because once you've felt God in the room, you never want to feel Him leave it. They're also honest that it costs you. The higher He takes you, the more it's going to cost. In this episode: Pure In Heart: the plaque on Kari's childhood wall, and the CD her dad felt from the kitchen God's Going To Ask You For Something: the decision Cody made the summer before his senior year When God Leaves The Room: what Cody calls one of the scariest things he's ever felt You're Not The Gardener: who actually tends the garden of your heart Walking The Other Direction: how Kari got comfortable with the price of saying no to the crowd The 10-to-1 Ratio: Cody's caution to Gen Z about where they get their revelation The Staring Day: what God is doing when He says nothing at all Purity of heart is not a rulebook, and it isn't something you settle once. It's a daily yes to keeping Him close, even when that means being hidden, misunderstood, or walking the other way while everyone else heads toward the lights. Cody and Kari have been paying that price for decades, and they'd tell you the same thing Preston does: blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. So keep climbing the hill.    

No matter what your past looks like, God's mercies are new every day. In this series finale, we dive into the closing verses of Haggai to learn why God cares more about our hearts than our outward works, how He turns our repentance into blessing, and why Christ is our ultimate reason to keep moving forward.Support the showYouthCast by The Church of Jesus Christ can also be found on Youtube: youtube.com/@tcojc-gmbaYouthCast is a production of The General Missionary Benevolent Association (GMBA), an auxiliary of The Church of Jesus Christ, headquartered in Monongahela, PA.

In this Just Tap In Podcast with Emilio Ortiz, we sit down with Anna Veneta (UFO Caller) to explore one of the most provocative ideas of the episode: whether humanity has been living according to a distorted relationship with time. Anna shares her perspective on the Gregorian calendar, the Vatican's historical influence over our systems of timekeeping, the symbolism and energetic function she attributes to ancient Egyptian obelisks, and why she believes these structures once operated as “timekeepers” capable of storing and transmitting information. She recounts her journey through Egypt and Rome, including the experience that led her to bring a group of 30 people to the Vatican for an activation around the ancient obelisk in St. Peter's Square. The conversation moves through Vatican secrets, ancient Egypt, sacred geometry, time manipulation, natural time, the 13 Moon Calendar, galactic signatures, consciousness, synchronicity, energy, power, and humanity's relationship with hidden systems—all while asking a deeper question: have we become disconnected from the natural rhythms we were originally designed to live by?Anna & Emilio also go deeper into the parallels she sees between Atlantis and our current civilization, arguing that humanity may once again be facing the same test around technology, power, control, and artificial intelligence. Anna opens up about her spiritual awakening, depression, isolation, communication with her guides, learning to reclaim her power and why she believes spiritual development is less about extraordinary experiences and more about how we embody consciousness in everyday life. Together they explore AI and Atlantis, ancient technology, the Vatican, obelisks, time portals, spiritual awakening, collective consciousness, New Earth, remote viewing, energy healing, galactic astrology, the 13 Moon Calendar, José Argüelles, synchronicities, timelines, inner technology, human potential, and the future of consciousness—ultimately returning to the idea that humanity's next evolution may not come from external technology, but from remembering the intelligence, connection, and power already within us.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Anna Veneta Intro1:04 - What New Story Is Humanity Writing?8:48 - Are We Repeating the Atlantean Timeline?13:35 - Spiritual Knowledge Comes With Responsibility20:02 - Falling in Love With Life on Earth30:36 - A Year Alone in Nature Talking to Her Guides36:48 - Anna's Secret Mission in Rome & Ancient Egypt45:08 - The Hidden Network Connecting Earth's Obelisks53:20 - Obelisks as Antennas & Ancient “Timekeepers”1:00:06 - How the Vatican Uses the Obelisk Network1:08:00 - Are We Living on a Distorted Timeline?1:12:33 - The Ankh “Key” Anna Brought Into the Vatican1:19:15 - Why Institutions Need Humanity's Energy1:23:58 - The 13-Moon Calendar & Returning to Natural Time1:28:47 - José Argüelles & the Lost Science of Galactic Time1:34:04 - How to Calculate Your Galactic Signature1:43:21 - What Does It Mean to Live With a Pure Heart?1:48:31 - Remembering the Future Together___________________Guest: Anna Veneta, UFO Caller✦ Website | https://www.ufocaller.com/✦ Galactic Signature https://www.ufocaller.com/calculator✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ufocaller✦ Newsletter | https://www.ufocaller.com/newsletter✦ Natural Time Transmissions + 1:1 Sessions | www.patreon.com/ufocallerHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz___________________© 2026 Emilio Ortiz.

David moves from honest lament to renewed trust, remembering God's unfailing love and choosing to rejoice and remain faithful even before his circumstances change. With Pastor Joil Marbut

Lyrics Below — “Pure Heart Of Devotion” was written in the late 1990s after a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit during a remarkable season of revival. The song came out of a renewed desire to lay aside the distractions and idols of this world and follow Jesus with an undivided heart. At its center is a simple prayer: that everything competing for our devotion would fall away, and that our hearts would belong completely to Jesus. The repeated refrain, “Pure Heart of Devotion,” expresses that longing for a sincere, wholehearted walk with God—not built around outward performance, but around love, surrender, holiness, and the desire to follow Jesus wherever He leads. Originally written during that season of spiritual renewal in the late 1990s, “Pure Heart Of Devotion” was revisited and remixed in 2026, bringing a fresh musical setting to a song whose message remains unchanged. © Shiloh Worship Music Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You For the things of this world They don't mean a thing to me I only want to follow You For the things of this world They don't mean a thing to me I only want to follow You With a Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You Throwing idols outta my heart I will set myself apart Throwing idols outta my heart I will set myself apart I only want to follow You With a Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion Pure Heart of Devotion to You I give Everything to You I Find in You - treasure true I only want to follow You All I have belongs to You Make my heart forever true I only want to follow You For the things of this world They don't mean a thing to me I only want to follow You For the things of this world They don't mean a thing to me I only want to follow You With a...

David and Todd examine Matthew 21:12–17, where Jesus confronts the corruption of the temple while welcoming the desperate, healing the hurting, and receiving the sincere worship of children. Get off the throne of your heart and come to Jesus with a humble, dependent faith, asking Him to keep your worship centered on who He truly is rather than on yourself.

In Growth Track Series: Week 5, Pastor KJay brings a powerful message, “Pure Heart,” challenging us to take a closer look at what's happening beneath the surface. Our lives often reveal what's truly in our hearts, and what we allow to take root will eventually produce fruit. Through Scripture, we learn that real transformation doesn't come from trying to clean ourselves up—it comes from allowing God to give us a new heart and renewing our minds to protect what He has made new. ❤️✨ KEY POINTS:1️⃣ Your life reflects what's in your heart.

Today is a good day to die.Which means it's a good day to come alive.In this reflection on Psalm 51, John Ortberg explores an old Christian word that doesn't get used much anymore: mortification.It sounds miserable.But properly understood, mortification isn't about becoming miserable.It's about becoming free.John describes two selves within us: the impulsive self, driven by whatever we happen to want right now, and the valuing self, shaped by what we most deeply believe matters: love, joy, peace, patience and generosity.The goal of the spiritual life isn't to spend every day desperately resisting everything we want.It's to increasingly become the kind of person who is no longer controlled by destructive desires.Drawing from Psalm 51, Romans 8, and Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find, John explores Jesus' strange invitation to die in order to truly live.To mortify is to liberate.And it can begin with one very small act today.In this episode: What “mortification” actually means  Jesus' paradox of dying in order to live  Samuel Johnson on how death clarifies life  Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man Is Hard to Find Psalm 51 and David's prayer of repentance  The impulsive self vs. the valuing self  Why following Jesus isn't endless miserable resistance  How destructive desires lose their power  Mortification as liberation  A simple practice for becoming more free today Scriptures: Psalm 51 • Romans 8:13 • 2 Samuel 11–12 • Matthew 16:25#Psalm51 #JohnOrtberg #Psalms #SpiritualFormation #Freedom #DyingToSelf #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Jesus #Transformation

Dr. Crane shares from Genesis 50 how the death of Jacob gave Joseph another opportunity to show grace and forgiveness to his brothers. Just as they needed to receive Joseph's offer of grace and forgiveness, we need to surrender to God's grace and provision in Jesus.

You Can't Buy Deliverance with Money Can you put a price tag on a miracle? Can wealth buy true spiritual freedom?

What should you do when someone you trust turns against you? Psalms 50-58 are your answer. This stretch of Psalms opens with God himself taking the stand, not to demand more sacrifices, but to expose what's really going on in the human heart. From there, we watch David wrestle with his darkest moment (his affair with Bathsheba), suffer betrayal by a close friend, hide from enemies who want him dead, and finally cry out for justice against corrupt leaders who prey on the powerless.These psalms feel raw, honest, and surprisingly relatable, which further proves they aren't just pretty prayers for perfect people. They are for us, right here and now, in our very real lives.In our Psalms 50-58 Bible study, we cover:[3:44] Psalm 50: God Judges the Heart — Why God cares more about an obedient heart than outward sacrifice.[9:34] Psalm 51: Create in Me a Pure Heart — Why a contrite heart is the only "sacrifice" God has ever really wanted.[13:39] Psalm 52 & 53: Frustration with Evil and Fools — How we can trust God and cry out in our frustration at arrogant fools and men who love evil.[20:20] Psalm 54 & 55: Betrayed by Friends and Enemies — When you are betrayed, what to do with that pain instead of letting it fester.[25:50] Psalm 56 & 57: Trusting God When You're Afraid — How David stayed brave while hiding in a cave and running for his life, because his trust in God was bigger than his fear of man.[28:53] Psalm 58: A Cry for Justice Against Corrupt Leaders — Instead of letting anger turn into hatred, how to pray when you're furious at leaders who abuse their power.Psalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideGroup Discussion Questions for Psalm 50-58:[3:44] God says he cares more about an obedient, honest heart than about the outward things we do for Him.

In this message from The Beatitudes, Caleb Cole teaches from Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” A pure heart is not a perfect heart, but an undivided heart surrendered to God. Through Scripture, Caleb challenges us to examine our speech, money, thoughts, actions, and eyes, and to ask Jesus for a new heart that can truly see and experience God.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Saturday, June 13, the day after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The Immaculate Heart of Mary reminds us of purity, love, and devotion. It symbolizes Mary's unwavering faith, compassion, and deep connection to God's will.Her heart, untouched by sin, is a model of holiness for all.Through her heart, we find a perfect reflection of God's mercy and grace, guiding us toward a deeper relationship. We seek Mary's intercession to live with love and humility and grow closer to Christ Our Savior.The feast was established in 1944, in the midst of World War II, by Pope Pius XII, who consecrated the world and placed it under the special protection of the Virgin Mary.Pius XII's Decree of May 4, 1944. asked her intercession to obtain "peace among nations, freedom for the Church, the conversion of sinners, the love of purity and the practice of virtue."But the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary wasn't new.Christians were early attracted by the love and virtues of the Heart of Mary.Simeon's prophecy that Mary's heart would be pierced with a sword paved the way for this devotion. Moreover, Mary was not passive at the foot of the Cross; "she cooperated through charity," as St. Augustine says, "in the work of our redemption."The meditations on the Ave Maria and the Salve Regina date back to the Eleventh century.In the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes preached it together with that of the Sacred Heart.In 1830, during the revelation of the "miraculous medal," the Virgin Mary showed to Catherine Laboure the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus united.In the nineteenth century, Pius VII and Pius IX allowed several churches to celebrate a feast of the Pure Heart of Mary.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.Jeremiah 17:9 The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.The impurity of our hearts can block the blessing of God in our lives.1. Examine your motivesPsalm 139:23-24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.Have you examined the motives of your heart?Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.The motives of your heart must be filtered by the truth of God's word.2. Realign your desiresPsalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.The more time you spend with God, the more your desires begin to change.3. Devote your heartMatthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.Our hearts can only serve one master.Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.A pure heart isn't a perfect heart. It's a heart that is undivided.Psalm 51:9-11 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Is your prayer life a ritual or a relationship? In this opening message of the June Fast series, David Antwi breaks down the difference between scheduled and triggered prayer, offering practical ways to stay spiritually sensitive. This teaching emphasizes the importance of maintaining a pure, child-like heart to ensure that your season of seeking God leads to genuine, lasting transformation.

The pure in heart will see God. That's not poetry. That's fact, from the lips of Jesus.

(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) An introduction to the retreat theme of Awakening the Pure Heart.

In this introduction to 1 Timothy we explore a few of the subtle distortions to the Christian faith the people of Paul's day were in danger of believing and how they are still relevant for us today. Masterfully peeling away all the layers of nonsense built up around Jesus, Paul clarifies us how simple and pure the good news really is: we are no better than anyone else, and Jesus is patient with us as we heal and learn to receive his love. This message is from our Sunday morning service on May 24th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

The Power of a Pure Heart - 9am

The Power of a Pure Heart

In Week 2 of Building a Home That Lasts, we're talking about purity in a world full of compromise. Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” This message is all about building a Christ-centered home, guarding our hearts, and pursuing the presence of God in every area of our lives. 

It's impossible to be loving and healthy like Jesus without a heart that's fully surrendered to the Lord. Yet, we often try to "fix" ourselves, slipping into behavior modification rather than genuine transformation of our whole self. Thankfully, we can learn to cultivate healthy heart habits that trust God to care for us and partner with him to will good for others. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi cast a beautiful yet practical vision for living with a pure heart that's attached to God and attuned to his will. You'll learn a simple and powerful practice to help you stay attentive to your heart and rely on God's grace instead of drifting into unconscious sin or unhealthy patterns.

A pure heart brings clarity, peace, and a deeper connection with God, as reflected in Psalm 51:10. Spiritual renewal isn’t about restriction—it’s about experiencing the freedom and joy that come from living in alignment with God’s design. This devotional compares spiritual growth to cleaning a home: it may feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s necessary for health and peace. When we invite God to remove unhealthy attitudes and behaviors, He doesn’t just clean us up—He renews us from within. Purity isn’t a burden to carry; it’s a gift that allows us to see God more clearly and live with greater focus, stability, and joy in everyday life. Highlights Spiritual “cleaning” is essential for a healthy, thriving faith God actively helps renew your heart—you’re not doing it alone Holiness is a blessing that protects, not a burden that restricts A pure heart leads to clarity, peace, and deeper connection with God Letting go of sin creates space for joy and spiritual growth Consistent renewal builds a steadfast, focused spirit Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: A Pure Heart Is a BlessingBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10, NIV Every year when I spring clean my home physically, I ask God to help me do spiritual spring cleaning – to clean up my soul. When I clean my home regularly throughout the year, I also often pray for God’s help to get rid of messy attitudes or behaviors, and to blow the fresh air of renewal into my life. It definitely feels like a chore to do physical cleaning. Getting rid of trash, mopping floors, washing windows, and all the other boring and dirty tasks involved in cleaning a house aren’t pleasant. But they’re necessary for living a physically healthy life. It can also feel like a chore to do spiritual cleaning, because it’s stressful to confess unhealthy attitudes and behaviors and to try to make better choices. However, it’s necessary to be spiritually healthy. Unlike with physical cleaning, I have help from God for spiritual cleaning, and that makes all the difference. I’m grateful that I can always succeed with spiritual cleaning – and even enjoy the process of it – because God is always willing to create more purity in my heart and to renew my spirit. Psalm 51:10 is a powerful prayer we can use to ask God to change our hearts for the better. When we’re willing to let God into the messy corners of our lives, he’ll remove the dirt that’s accumulated there and send us fresh help to grow in holiness. When we think about holiness, we may worry that pursuing it will be a chore that will restrict us from having fun or keep us working hard to reach a standard we can never achieve. But God wants us to live holy lives because doing so is truly good for us, and God will help us every step of the way. God wants us to have pure hearts because purity is a blessing, not a burden. God’s commandments for healthy and holy living are actually loving boundaries that protect us from being harmed by sin. Praying for a pure heart invites God to wipe away the dirt of sin from our souls so we can see God more clearly. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” The reward of purity is experiencing God! A pure heart helps us focus on what really matters most, so we’re not stressed and exhausted from being pulled in many different directions. It helps us realize that God’s ways aren’t meant to restrict us, but to free us to live in ways that help us notice and appreciate the wonder of God’s work in our lives every day. By living each day with a pure heart, we can stay focused on God and enjoy the blessings that God is constantly pouring into our lives. Developing a lifestyle of greater purity is like decluttering a messy room. At first, it might feel hard to let go of certain things. But as the room clears, we realize how stressful it really was to deal with so much clutter. We feel more peaceful in the room, because it’s a healthier space. When we let God help us clean up spiritually, we’ll also notice less stress and more peace in our lives. We’ll have the “steadfast spirit” that Psalm 51:10 mentions – a spirit that’s stronger and more focused, so we’re no longer tossed around by every temptation to sin that comes our way. A pure heart is a blessing, not a chore. It’s the gift of a heart at peace, because it’s the way God designed it to be: clean and whole! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how it’s a blessing to have a pure heart, reflect on these questions: When you think of the word “holiness,” does it feel like a heavy burden or a beautiful invitation? Why do you think that is? Is there a specific kind of mess in your life right now (an unhealthy attitude or behavior) that’s making it hard for you to feel close to God? In Psalm 51:10, King David asks God to renew a “steadfast spirit” within him. In what areas of your faith do you feel most inconsistent right now? How can you ask God for help and rely on that help to be more steadfast in those areas? How do you want to change your life overall, with God’s help, to live with greater purity and holiness? What’s one small yet significant change you can start making right now to live with more purity in your heart every day?
