A hardened heart isn't where the story starts. It's what's left after a child trusted, got hurt, and concluded: I'll never be in that position again. This week, Dr. Greg turns the antisocial series toward hope: looking at how that hardness forms, and how the Sacred Heart of Jesus, betrayed and pierced yet still open, breaks the pattern.
Key Topics:
Why a hardened heart is never cold by nature—it's protection learned the first time trusting backfired
Why the urge to control everyone around you is really an old strategy for never being at anyone's mercy again
How "making up for it" can quietly become a way to avoid facing the wound underneath
Why Jesus didn't heal the hardened heart from a safe distance—He walked straight into betrayal and stayed open
What it means that control isn't the enemy; where you aim it is what changes everything
Why healing means loving even the parts of you that sin, not just the parts that behave
Why you can't will yourself into trust overnight—and why that slowness reflects your dignity, not your failure
