In this episode of BCUK's "to the heart" podcast, Helen Thorne-Allenson, Steve Midgley, and Andrew Collins delve into the concept of the heart within biblical counselling. They explore its significance, the shift from focusing on external behaviours to understanding internal motivations, and the importance of integrity in one's spiritual life. The conversation emphasises the role of emotions in revealing the heart's desires and fears, and offers practical steps for self-exploration and reflection. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the transformative power of attending to the heart in fostering spiritual growth and deeper relationships with God and others.
