Audio Interview: "Do you listen to the desires of your heart?"

This is part-two of Loren Rosser's [Untangled Podcast] interview with me.

When it comes to God's will, many Christians settle for duty:  Just do what God tells you to do:  "God, just tell me what You want me to do with my life."  But God is asking, "What are the desires of your heart?  I've written cues to your calling within your heart's desires."

Loren and I also talk about the cost of following our desires. 

• There are forces set against you and your heart. 
• There are people who just aren't willing or ready to go with you.
• There are times when you'll feel like you're the enemy. 
• There are wounds from the past that need healing.  

But to bury your heart's desires leads only to passion-less resignation. 

Audio Interview: "Why the Christian life isn't impossible."

Most of us live with a cruel distortion of the Gospel:  The distortion sounds like this, "There but for the grace of God go I."    The hope of the Gospel is not, "Jesus, You're going to have to pull off the Christian life for me because I'm too much of a mess."  Rather, the hope of the New Covenant is, "Jesus, by your Spirit release the new appetites and cravings you've already deposited within my new nature."  The Christian life is no longer impossible.

Podcast interview:  Loren Rosser, who works in the television industry in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area,  is a great friend who is one of the few interviewers who understands the good and noble heart.  This is part one of a two-part interview. 

In this interview, Loren Rosser interviews Jim [Part One]:

1. What's the difference between a Christian who sins v.s.  a person who has a sin-nature?


2. Why ignoring our heart's desires means we could be missing our calling.


3. Why secular answers to shame lead to pretending, while the Gospel heals the root of shame.


4. How can you tell when you're still living under "Old Covenant" shame?

New Podcast: "Revolution Within" Part One -Jim interviews best-selling author Dwight Edwards

This is Part One of my interview with special guest, Dwight Edwards, author or Revolution Within.  Dwight is lead pastor at Water’s Edge Church in Houston.  He also publishes a regular update called, "Kindling for the Fire." 

Dwight has also served as a friend and advisor to Larry Crabb.

Dwight's work was foundational to my understanding of our good and noble heart.  It's a message largely missing in modern Christianity; but one that God is restoring in order to see his friends released from the tyranny of "never enough."

"That’s why the great issue in Christian living is not how to get ourselves fixed but how to get our new nature released."  
- Revolution Within

Podcast:  Jim Robbins interviews Dwight Edwards about his book, "Revolution Within." 

*This is Part One of our interview.   "It's not about fixing, but releasing the good."  

[Note:  There are a few pops and clicks here and there.  We didn't hear them 'live,' yet they somehow found their way into the recording.  I think the message will come through loud and clear anyway.]
