Beneath the Surface: The Soil | Preparing the Heart for God's Word

In Episode 2 of Beneath the Surface, we explore the foundation of spiritual growth: the condition of the soil.Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower, we discuss how the heart is the soil and God's Word is the seed. Before there can be roots, growth, or fruit, the soil must be prepared.Together we examine:• The four types of soil found in Matthew 13• Hard hearts, shallow roots, and crowded lives• Breaking up fallow ground• Removing the thorns that choke spiritual growth• Guarding the heart• Inviting God to search and prepare us for what He wants to plantFeatured Scriptures:Matthew 13:3-9Matthew 13:18-23Hosea 10:12Jeremiah 4:3Proverbs 4:23Psalm 139:23-24Before we ask God for fruit, we must allow Him to deal with the soil."Search me, O God, and know my heart." — Psalm 139:23Hosted by Vanessa & LisaFQF Prayer PodcastFaith • Prayer • CommunityThis description will work well for Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
