E858 The Good Heart 2.0 - Part 1

Do we really have a good heart? John and Allen take a fresh look at this question and the significant ramifications of how we answer it in the start of this foundational series. Many Christians still believe—and live under the false burden—that their hearts are desperately wicked. God, however, promises to set a new heart within us (Luke 15:8), and Jesus spoke of those with a “good and noble heart” (Luke 15:8). Discover the reality and the utter relief of the Good Heart in every area of life, including our self-image, relationships, calling, and walk with God.
