Hope For Restless Hearts

Hope For Restless Hearts Episode 3: Faith, Fear and Monsters

We all have “monsters” in our lives — from bullies to unemployment to budget deficits — and facing these scary life situations brings a lot of fear. With Halloween ahead this week, host John Newton discusses how to deal with fear in your life and explores an example from the life of Moses and the Israelites. Do you have any “monsters” in your life? How do you battle them? Can you trust God when you are afraid?

In this episode of Hope for Restless Hearts, host John Newton explores the deep desire inside every human for things to be right — to be ideal. Nobody likes to be taken advantage of, to be wounded, to suffer personal loss. And humans throughout the ages have turned to various systems and devices in order to reconcile the brokenness in the world around them with the longing for perfection. How do we cope when the ideal seems so far away from reality?

What is a “restless heart?” Are you one? Do you know or love a restless heart? In this first podcast episode from Restless Heart Ministries, host John Newton defines restlessness and talks about his ministry’s vision for helping weary, stressed-out and wandering individuals find rest in the grace of God. It is a short introduction to the topic of restlessness and sets up the tone of podcast episodes to follow.
