The Heart E6 - A Hard and Unbelieving Heart

On today's episode, Jana and Reata explore a hard and unbelieving heart. Reata recaps the meaning in scripture behind God "hardening" Pharaoh's heart and the difference between divine intervention, a predetermined life, and free-will. Additionally, Reata explains the meaning and characteristics of someone with a "hard" heart. They discuss another example of scripture, where the Israelites hardened their hearts while being led by Moses out of exile.



Changing gears, Jana proposes the topic of believers' role in hardening the hearts of others, and expresses the importance of our actions; explaining how hypocrisy and condemnation can harden the hearts of nonbelievers. This leads into a discussion on ways one can share their faith with nonbelievers and Reata provides some resources for atheists that are searching for more. (Jordan B. Peterson, Russell Brandt, and Tucker Carlson).



Reata also recites Exodus 9:34 and forewarns the dangers of being a fair-weather Christian and the negative impact it can have on hardening one's heart and their relationship with God.



Verses Mentioned:


Exodus 9:34
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.



James 4:2
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
