What God Says About Your Heart Changes Everything

Have you ever wondered if you can really trust your own heart? For many of us, we've spent years in church hearing that our "hearts are deceitful." But when we come to Christ, He gives us a new heart. And learning to trust what He's already done can change so much about how we see ourselves and relate to others. In this episode of Living Influence, Bill Thrall and Scott Boyd have a thoughtful conversation about shame, trust, and the freedom we have in Christ. Bill also shares from his own life as they explore what Scripture teaches about our new identity and the Holy Spirit living within us. It's a beautiful reminder that we can keep growing in the truth of who God says we are and learning to live with greater freedom, grace, and love. Join Bill and Scott for this encouraging conversation on Living Influence.
