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!

Did you know that the eyes of the Lord are searching throughout the earth for those whose hearts are turned towards Him? As you listen to today's message from Pastor Michael, he teaches you that what impresses the Lord is far different from what impresses the world around you. The world looks to the outside. What kind of materials you possess, the amount of money that's in your bank account, and otherworldly achievements. However, Pastor Michael encourages you, that the Lord simply looks to the heart!

“It's never been an issue of appearances. It's always been an issue of the heart.” Pastor Michael once again dives into the issues of the heart, and alongside him we can ask Jesus to do some open heart surgery on us today. Are you too busy looking on the outside? Do you categorize people's spirituality based on their outward trappings? Maybe you even categorize your own based on how you look or what you have! Take a look inside to assess the state of your heart and your spiritual walk.

Pastor Michael is going deep today with his talk on money. How you spend your money reflects your heart more effectively than any other means. At the end of the month, when you're thinking, “where did all that money go?” Jesus is thinking that too! So jump online and check out your bank account today. Brush aside all the excuses and all the deflection and be real with yourself and with God. Can you tell you're a Christ-follower from what you see there? Or do you have some room to grow?

Pastor Michael is diving into a message on giving today. We all know that we are supposed to give, and most of us even know how we are to give—with a grateful heart, with joy and gladness. Today you'll learn why we give! Pastor Michael has four solid reasons to give us for giving, and the first one is that giving on earth stores up treasure in heaven. Giving is a high-yield, long-term investment. There is no greater use of our money or time than to invest it in the kingdom of God—and gain an eternal reward!

If your goal is to become like Jesus, are you being wise as you aim for that? Jesus gives us wisdom and expects us to use it as we position ourselves to be the best reflection of him we can be. Pastor Michael is going to take a look at one of Jesus' parables today that lifts up the shrewdness of a servant as a character trait to emulate. Let everything you do today be with the kingdom in mind. Remember your kingdom purpose as you make your decisions and set yourself up for future ministry opportunities.
