There are many phrases in Christianity that we may have heard but do not really understand. One such phrase that has somewhat disappeared is “break up the fallow ground.” It is a loss that this phrase is rarely used anymore. It is even sadder that is less frequently examined because it describes the need for the believer to consistently inspect his/her heart, and gauge where they presently are in their journey with Jesus. Weeds, thorns, and hardness of heart-soil can easily happen in the unexamined life. By unpacking what it means to break up the fallow ground, we can avoid unnecessary seasons of spiritual stagnation or even backsliding. This episode of Truth Shots empowers us to understand, commit, and exercise our ability to keep our hearts right before God in a world that seeks to pull us away from Him inch by inch.
