421: [Formed.] Why Am I Stuck and Running in Circles? How a Hardened Heart Blocks Healing and Maturity

Podcast · January 1, 2025

This week, we’re unpacking how bitterness, cynicism, and unresolved pain can trap us in a cycle of frustration and blindness to God’s work in our lives. Drawing from Luke 4 and Mark 6, we’ll explore how the condition of your heart affects your ability to heal and mature. If you’re feeling stuck, weighed down by offense, or questioning why breakthrough feels out of reach, this conversation will give you practical tools and biblical wisdom to take the next step toward transformation. And I want to start our series here because in the weeks that follow, I want you to receive from our guests with an open mind and heart, unencumbered by issues like bitterness, cynicism, and unresolved disappointment.

Father Ronald Rolheiser, Tyler Staton, Loren Covarrubias, and Jenn Johnson (from Bethel Music) are joining us this month in our series. Again, I’m thankful you’re here, and I hope you’ll open your heart and lean in during January.
