In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Pastor Frank DeLeo. Drawing from his previous background as a medical professional, Pastor Frank introduces the profound concept of "CPR of the heart". He explains that just as physical plaque can build up and silently clog the heart, spiritual plaque builds up when believers slowly walk away from the truth, causing their hearts to harden to God.
Listen in as Pastor Frank breaks down the six specific areas including suffering, culture, and perception that cause this spiritual hardening, and reveals the ultimate recipe for resuscitation: having fellow believers come alongside the brokenhearted in love. He vulnerably shares how his own wife's love helped soften his heart during his most difficult days. If you are feeling weary or distracted in your faith journey, Pastor Frank’s fiery, Apostle Paul-inspired encouragement to pick up your cross daily and simply "finish the race" will deeply revive your soul!
