Transforming The Heart

The Transforming the Heart workshop unlocks the secrets of lasting change in life's most difficult growth areas, while revolutionizing your conversation with Jesus. Beginning with a profoundly moving, 90-minute Taste of Heaven encounter, this in-depth course focuses on the process of how God transforms hearts by filling our deepest desires. Through identifying the desires that drive your behavior and hearing Jesus speak life to them, you will be transformed, and come away with powerful tools for engaging and transforming the hearts of others.

One of the biggest reasons why we fail to change is we try to manage our outward behavior but ignore why we do what we do. Disciplining your outward our actions without addressing the beliefs, wounds, needs, and unmet desires that drive them is like sticking your fingers in a fan to try to stop the blades from turning. It would be much less painful to just pull the plug!

According to Jesus, outward behavior (the turning fan blades) is driven by the heart (the motor). The secret of transformation Jesus' way is unplugging that motor and plugging into a new power source--desire fulfilled in relationship with God.Transforming the Heart shows you how to identify your heart's desires for things like love, approval, or security, understand how those desires shape your actions, and--most important--how to meet Jesus in a way that satisfies those desires. When you disarm the powerful urges behind an unhealthy behavior, you'll find that outward change happens almost automatically.

For many, the greatest impact of Transforming the Heart is simply that it takes their relationship with God to a whole new level of intimacy and conversation. You will be amazed at how quickly and profoundly Jesus replies as you ask him to speak to your heart's desire.
