Joel Brueseke [see his insightful GraceRoots podcast] joins me as we try to offer encouragement for Christians who do want to believe that their heart is now good and noble because of Christ's redeeming work for them, but who continue to struggle to live from that new-hearted goodness.
Podcast: "If I really do have a good and noble heart, then why does the evidence seem to suggest otherwise?" [Special guest, Joel Brueseke of GraceRoots.com]
In the podcast, Joel and I address:
- Why does my experience seem to suggest my heart really isn't good, noble and true?
- Why truth must drive experience and not the other way around.
- What about us is "finished" and what is still "unfinished?"
- What happened to the "Accuser" in our worldview? "Warfare" has been grossly abused in the Church, but for the sake of our hearts, the idea is worth revisiting.
- Why multiple exposures to the truth is necessary so that our minds, emotions and bodies can catch up to the truth about our new and noble hearts.
- Should you leave a church that preaches a performance-based, "bad-heart" message?
- Resources for finding new-hearted community and messages.

You can find new-hearted community - people who want to live from their good and noble heart - on the "COMMUNITY" page on my website. The focus is simple:
1. Where are you finding it difficult to live from your good and noble heart?
2. Where are you finding encouragement to live from your good and noble heart?
