    S3E4: The Work of the Heart | A Conversation with Sam Green

    What’s happening in your heart right now?    In this episode, Tyler Douglass sits down with Sam Green, National Youth Pastor for Hillsong Australia, to continue the conversation around the condition of our hearts and what it looks like to keep tending to them as we follow Jesus.   From becoming familiar with God and going through the motions, to inviting the Holy Spirit into the painful and precious places of our lives, Sam gets honest about the ongoing work of allowing God to search, shape and transform our hearts. Together, they talk about prayer, surrender, God's presence, grief, waiting, the people we need around us, and why heart work isn't something we ever graduate from.   ✨ Key Themes The Work of the Heart — Our hearts require ongoing attention, surrender and intentionality as we continue becoming who God has called us to beDon't Just Go Through the Motions — What it looks like when we're physically present but spiritually disconnected, and the danger of becoming familiar with GodInvite the Holy Spirit In — Allowing the Holy Spirit to correct, convict and reveal what needs attention, even in the most painful and precious placesPrayer Is a Conversation — Moving beyond simply bringing our requests to God and learning to make space to listen and be with HimStay Close to His Presence — Learning to keep leaning into God through seasons of grief, waiting and uncertaintyThe People Around You Matter — We aren't called to do life alone; we need trusted people who can help us see what we sometimes can't see for ourselvesObedience Flows From Relationship — We don't obey our way into closeness with God; as we grow closer to Him, obedience becomes a natural responseWe Never Graduate — Heart work isn't something we complete.

    S3E3: Issues of the Heart | Sam Green

    It’s easy to go through the motions and tick all the boxes, but are we actually connecting with the Lord and truly seeking Him?   In this message, Pastor Sam Green challenges us to look beyond what’s happening on the outside and consider what’s really happening in our hearts. We can say the right things, show up and go through the motions, but what happens when we slow down and let Jesus speak to the places within us we might have been avoiding?   Our hearts matter. They shape what flows from our lives, and sometimes they need to be revealed, returned to Jesus and revived by His presence.   If you’ve been feeling distracted, distant or unsure, this message is an invitation to stop, open your heart and make room for God to move again.   Because sometimes the encounter we’re waiting for begins with simply being willing to let Jesus have our hearts.   ✨ Key Themes Beyond the Motions — Looking past what we do outwardly and asking whether our hearts are genuinely connected to GodThe Condition of Our Hearts — Recognising that what is happening within us matters because it shapes what flows from our livesMaking Room for Jesus — Slowing down and allowing God to speak into the places we may have been avoidingRevealed, Returned & Revived — Allowing God to reveal what is happening in our hearts, surrendering it back to Him and making room for His presenceSeeking God Again — Moving beyond distraction and familiarity to intentionally pursue God's presenceAn Open Heart — Being willing to let Jesus have access to every part of our lives📖 Scripture References Proverbs 4:23 — Guard your heart, because everything you do flows from itPsalm 51 — David's prayer for God to create a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit🚶 Next Steps Stop and check your heart — Take some time to honestly ask God what is happening within youMove beyond the motions — Ask yourself whether you're simply going through the routine or genuinely seeking JesusMake room for God — Slow down, create space and allow Jesus to speak into the places you've been avoidingReturn it to Jesus — Whatever God reveals, surrender it back to HimSeek His presence — If you've been feeling distracted or distant, take a step towards God again🔗 Links / CTA 🌐 Learn more about Hillsong Australia: hillsong.com/australia📍 Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australia💬 Share this message with someone who could use the reminderBringing Sunday into your everyday.

    S2E22: ‘The Lost Art of Faithfulness’ | A Conversation with Andrew Midson

    Has something that once left you in awe become... just familiar? Pastor Andrew Midson unpacks his message on the Parable of the Sower, walking through the four soils — hard, rocky, thorny, and good ground — and asking an honest question we all need to sit with: have I become apathetic, or even offended, by the very things that used to astonish me? ✨ Key Themes The danger of familiarity. Jesus was overlooked in His own hometown because He'd become familiar — the same thing can happen to our faith, marriages, and callings over time.The lost art of faithfulness. Long-term fruit tends to come from ordinary, faithful people who kept showing up — not from talent or being first pick.Your soil is your responsibility. Tending your heart — not sheer effort — is what determines whether the seed planted in your life takes root and grows.📖 Scripture References Matthew 13 — The Parable of the Sower and Jesus' rejection in His hometownMatthew 6:33 — "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you," Matthew 25 — The Parable of the TalentsMark 4 — The farmer who plants seed that grows day and night without him understanding how Mark 2 — The four men who bring their friend to Jesus through the roof📚 Resources "Counterfeit Gods" by Tim Keller — referenced regarding how the real issue isn't lack of access to truth, but what happens inside us when we hear it."Atomic Habits" — mentioned as one of many books on how habits actually take time to form.💬 Quotes "Where God has brought us is awe-inspiring as to who He is... but do I become familiar with time?" — Andrew Midson "Starting is easier than finishing." — Andrew Midson "The harvest is always an indicator of the seed that was planted." — Andrew Midson "Don't dig up the seed too soon. Let it take its time." — Andrew Midson 🚶 Next Steps Do a heart stock take. Ask, "God, what's the seed in my hand?" — and what you're actually going to do with it.Name your "thorns." Identify the good things in your life that may be quietly crowding out what God has actually asked of you.Pre-decide your non-negotiables. Put the important things (Bible reading, church, date night, health) directly into your calendar so you're not relying on in-the-moment motivation.Choose faithfulness over talent or timing. Keep showing up, sow what you're given, and trust the harvest to come in its season.🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaCatch next week's special Living Room episode — a time of prayer and worship together.Subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs the encouragement.

    S2E21: ‘From Awe to Apathy’ | Andrew Midson

    How can two people sit in the same room, hear the same message, and walk away with completely different experiences? In this message, Andrew Midson explores Jesus' Parable of the Sower and unpacks the four conditions of the heart that determine how we respond to God's Word. From the danger of familiarity to the subtle distractions that slowly steal our attention, Andrew reminds us that the issue is never the seed—it's the condition of the soil. If we're not careful, awe can quietly become apathy. But when we cultivate hearts that remain soft and receptive to God, we position ourselves to experience the fruit He has always intended.

    S2E20: ‘Praising God with a Broken Heart’ | A Conversation with Andy Heuser

    What does it actually look like to guard your heart when life hurts? In this conversation, Dale Simons sits down with Andy Heuser to continue unpacking his message, My Heart, My Responsibility, and explore the ongoing work of recognising and tending to the condition of our hearts. Whether you're navigating grief, waiting for a promise, wrestling with anxiety or simply recognising that your heart needs some attention, this conversation is an encouragement to invite the Holy Spirit into even the most painful places and keep leaning into the presence of God.  ✨ Key Themes Guarding your heart is active, not passive. The condition of our heart affects everything that flows from it, so tending to it requires intentionality. Invite the right voices in. We need trusted people who will tell us what we need to hear, not simply what we want to hear. Praising God through a broken heart. Andy shares vulnerably about losing his dad and the daily choice to keep believing in God's goodness, even while carrying unanswered questions. Heart work is ongoing. We can carry multiple heart conditions at once, and we need the Holy Spirit to help us recognise and navigate them. Keep leaning into God's presence. It's there that we find rest, healing, hope and joy, even when our circumstances haven't changed.  📖 Scripture References Proverbs 4:23 — Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Psalm 51 — David's prayer for God to create in him a pure heart. Romans 8:28 — God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  💬 Quotes “I want people to tell me not what I want to hear, but what I need to hear” — Andy Heuser “We've got to invite the Holy Spirit into the most painful, most precious moments of our lives.” — Andy Heuser  🔗 Links / CTA Find a Hillsong Australia location near you: hillsong.com/australiaCatch up on Andy's message, ‘My Heart, My Responsibility’, on the Hillsong Australia Podcast.Subscribe to the Hillsong Australia Podcast wherever you listen so you never miss an episode.If this conversation encouraged you, share it with someone who might need it today.
