In this heartfelt episode of Restoration Connection Weekend, host Dr. Don Hawkins welcomes Coach John Redd, founder of Renewell Ministries and counselor with Hope Speaks, for a powerful conversation centered on one essential question: What’s your heart condition?

Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Together, Don and John explore what it means to pursue a pure heart — one that is guarded, guided, and grounded in God’s truth. They discuss how to protect your heart and mind, choose your words lovingly and wisely, and pay attention to the content you consume so your inner life reflects Christ’s character.

This conversation also offers practical steps for healing a broken heart, renewing your thoughts, and moving toward emotional and spiritual wholeness. In recognition of Suicide Prevention Month, Don and John share gentle, meaningful ways to encourage someone who may be struggling or feeling close to the edge of hope.

Throughout the episode, listeners called in with questions, concerns, and prayer needs — and every caller, along with every listener, was prayed for with compassion and care.

If you’re seeking clarity, comfort, or a fresh start for your heart, this episode offers biblical wisdom, practical guidance, and hope for the journey.
