140 - Keeping Your Heart Alive When Life Hurts with Joy Scott

Is your heart shut-down, numb or masked? Have life's circumstances caused you to put up a wall or cover your pain with various coping mechanisms? I think if we are being honest, each one of us has done some degree of withdrawing emotionally. God is ALWAYS one prayer away, yet it is common to eitherignore our need to turn to Him, or just do everything we can to cope on our own. Many have a lifetime of numbing their heartache with a variety of vices. Without doing the work of dealing with pain, there will never be true freedom from it apart from a miracle. We all live in this fallen world, and none of us is above heartache, but we can take an active role in tending to our hearts and what goes on inside it. Join Tiffany Jo Baker today as she speaks with author, speaker and teacher Joy Scott on the topic of keeping your heart alive when life hurts.Listen in for:Why all of us experience hurts in this lifeHow we can take an active role in keeping our hearts aliveWhen God might ask you to reach out for helpWhat the Bible says about tending to your heartFavorite Quotes:"As humans, what we want to do is hide, numb, and mask." - Tiffany Jo Baker"Their hearts are hurting, so it's coming out as hate, violence, abuse, depression, anxiety, or extreme fear." - Tiffany Jo Baker"This is not our home; we are all passing through.
