    A Heart's Journey at a Heart's Pace Part 2 - Ray's Story

    On this week's show we pick up with part 2 of a 2 part story as our good friend Ray Merten's shares his heart's journey through life with us. In Ray's story we see the unfolding of a heart's journey at a heart's pace. This week we turn a corner and we see where "The Glory of God is man fully alive" (St. Irenaus), truly.   I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart. - Psalm 119:32 NASB 1995   If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it  Share it Review it   Story is the language of the OG Podcast. Through story we are [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS and who we are in Christ. In doing so we are inspiring people to change their mind (how they think and feel) about God and life in his kingdom. We've found the stories of people who walk with God so helpful in gaining an understanding of the ways in which God works and what it might look like for us to walk with God. If a revolution is going to spring up in the Body of Christ, it's going to be ordinary people like you and me discovering who we are in Christ and living this out in the context of our ordinary, everyday lives- in the marketplace, in marriage, parenting, friendships and relationships, even in areas of passion and adventure! Every week we will bring you fresh stories that will help you discover what it might look like to walk with God in all areas of our lives and that will help you discover who you truly are in Christ.

    Heart Centered Theology

    This week we go deeper into the theology of the heart with our good friend and mentor in the Way of the Heart Steve, McIndoo. Is the heart deceitful and desperately wicked or has it been made new? Do I live from the heart or am I living from some other part of my being? Why is God so concerned with the heart and why is it so central in the narrative of scripture? We will have a conversation that will provide answers to these questions and more. We continue to operate under our banner scripture as we journey further into the Way of the Heart. Watch over your heart with all dilligence,  For from it flow the springs of life. -Proverbs 4:23 If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it Story is the language of the OG Podcast.

Jon, kD, Aaron and Joe invite you into a conversation among friends about the life of the heart and the opposition to this Way of living. Among the topics discussed are how we live and fight for one another's hearts in a fellowship of the heart. Watch over your heart with all dilligence, For from it flow the springs of life. -Proverbs 4:23 If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it Story is the language of the OG Podcast.
