Spiritual hardness does not happen overnight. It develops slowly—through compromise, misplaced affection, unchecked desire, and repeated resistance to God’s voice.

In this episode of Built to Stand: Faith That Endures, we examine how a heart once tender toward God can grow dull, resistant, and divided. From Israel’s craving in the wilderness to James’ warning about friendship with the world, Scripture shows us the progression: desire, deception, indulgence, and ultimately hardness.

If faith is going to endure, our hearts must remain soft. Today we uncover how hardness forms—and how to stop it before it takes root.
