STRONG & HEALTHY with Steve Barr

S6.E15 When Your Heart Gets Hard

Can a person hear God’s truth so often that it stops penetrating the heart? In this episode of Strong & Healthy, Steve Barr examines the hard footpath in Jesus’ Parable of the Sower. Discover how repeated sin, disappointment, pride, and delayed obedience can harden us—and how repentance, humility, God’s Word, and the Holy Spirit can soften the heart again. This episode also offers hope for anyone praying for a resistant friend or family member.

S6.E12 The Seed Never Changes

In Jesus’ Parable of the Sower, the seed falls on four very different kinds of soil—but the seed itself never changes. In this episode of *Strong and Healthy*, Steve Barr explains why God’s Word does not need to be improved, softened, or reinvented. Our calling is to receive it, live it, and faithfully share it while trusting God with the results—even when the harvest takes years to appear.

S6.E13 Are You Really Listening?

Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” In this episode of *Strong and Healthy*, Steve Barr opens the Parable of the Sower in Mark 4 and explores the difference between hearing God’s Word, truly listening, and responding with understanding. Discover how familiarity, distraction, and delayed obedience can keep truth from reaching the heart—and how to become receptive to what God is saying today.
