  • Living From Your Heart - Episode 30
    Sep 18 2024

    Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. ~ Carl Jung

    It's time to operate from a place of Love. Wouldn't you want to live in a place where you are speaking and acting FROM love instead of always NEEDING love?

    Justin and Don explore the importance of the heart as the center of thoughts, actions, and emotions, and its role in spiritual and physical well-being. The conversation touches on the significance of love, and the transformational power of Jesus Christ. The parallel is made between God being a God of love and Him wanting to create us in his own image: to be Love. They emphasize the necessity of a heart transplant, not just physically but spiritually, to fully embrace love and God’s mercy and grace. The hosts also talk about overcoming past traumas and barriers to genuinely express and act from Love.
