Welcome to the Burning Hearts Podcast! Our heart is to glorify Jesus Christ and draw people closer to Him through explaining Scriptures in a relevant and easy-to-understand way. Our name comes from two Scriptures: Luke 24:32 - They said to each other, ”Weren‘t our hearts burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining Scriptures to us.” Jeremiah 20:9 - Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. The Burning Heart‘s Podcast with Pastor Michael Craft explores the Bible in an exciting way. We pray it ministers to you!

In our information-first society, we are always being told what is fact and what can’t be true. We want to see results and when people of prominence tell us that something is a fact, it’s hard to say no. In today’s message, Pastor Michael wants you to know that no matter what the world tells you, God has always been there for you and will never leave. Before He created the world, God knew you and always had you on His heart. Don’t believe the faulty wisdom from the world, we were masterfully created in the Him.

Good Friday Message Part 1

Tuesday Jul 19, 2022
“We're right and they're wrong rallies”...wow, I don't know about you...but, that really hit home to me! So often, we find ourselves so cemented into our ways of thinking and seeing the world that we fail to see the plight of others. Just pause a moment and say that word to yourself. “others”...that's God's intention for you. That as you go about your day, you would have others in mind...put others first...serve others...not yourself. It sounds like a tall order...but, as we'll learn from Pastor Michael today...God is here to help us!

What comes to mind when you think of the qualities of a great leader? Strength? Power? Influence? Well Pastor Michael shares that Jesus was a great leader in many ways, not just because of those reasons, but more importantly because he loves you, his sheep. And because of that love He can be trusted to lead you as the good Shepard. So, when you lose your way and don’t know which way to turn, rest assured, Jesus has not left or forsaken you. He will lead you back to greener pastures and still waters.

Dunk and Go Nuts

There used to be a guy who attended many of the top sporting events in the country with the message John 3 16. He always found a way to get on camera with a sign that simply stated John 3 16. It was his way of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ to the world. Well Pastor Michael shares that there is a way that you too can proclaim, not only the good news, but also that you follow Christ. A weird way to the world. But a way that even Jesus participated in and commands us to do as well.

Radically Dedicated
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
This world – specifically Satan and his dark forces – are at war against followers of Jesus. The more dedicated you are, the harder they’re going to hit you. It’s not something you can just ignore, but it’s also not something to be afraid of. Through Christ and His Holy Spirit, you have the necessary defenses, and the enemy doesn’t stand a chance. As Pastor Michael will challenge us in today’s message, instead of succumbing to culture, we should stand up in dedication to our Savior and His radical love.
