The Heart Of God

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast, Episode 108: Keep Doing So – where we dive deep into the unchanging promises of Scripture to anchor our hearts amid life's storms. In these challenging and uncertain times, when headlines scream division, scandal, and hardship—from economic pressures to questions swirling around leadership in places like Minnesota—it's easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even disillusioned. Recent revelations of massive fraud and theft in Minnesota's social services programs, involving billions in taxpayer dollars and raising serious questions about oversight and accountability under Governor Tim Walz (often referred to in discussions as issues tied to his administration), have left many wondering: How do we process this? Is there complicity, negligence, or something else at play? These are tough, real-world issues that touch on justice, stewardship, and trust in those who lead. But here's the beautiful truth: God hasn't left us without direction or comfort. In Episode 108, we turn our focus back to the Heart of God Himself, exploring two powerful scriptural blessings—two divine promises straight from the lips of Jesus—that are often overlooked yet profoundly relevant for navigating difficult seasons like this. Jesus calls us to keep doing certain things, and when we do, He pledges His blessing. These aren't vague platitudes; they're active principles rooted in perseverance, faithfulness, and obedience even when the world feels chaotic. Whether you're grappling with personal trials, national controversies like the unfolding Minnesota fraud investigations, or simply the weight of today's headlines, these two blessings offer grounding, hope, and supernatural strength. Join me as we unpack these timeless truths, get centered in God's Word, and rediscover how keeping on in the ways He instructs brings His favor and peace—no matter the circumstances. Let's allow the Heart of God to speak clarity and blessing over our lives today. Press play, open your Bible, and let's get grounded together. You're not alone in this—His promises are sure.

In a world filled with chaos, division, and uncertainty, one timeless question cuts through the noise and demands our honest response: "Do you love Me?"Welcome to Episode 107 of The Heart of God podcast, titled "Do You Love Me?" — a deep dive into the profound, heart-piercing conversation between Jesus and Peter in John 21, where the resurrected Christ asks the disciple who had denied Him three times the most vulnerable question imaginable: "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?"This wasn't just a personal moment of restoration for Peter after his greatest failure. It was a blueprint for every believer facing overwhelming trials. Jesus didn't ask about Peter's knowledge, his courage, or his plans. He asked about love — the foundational response that defines our walk with Him. Today, we live in times that test that very foundation. A Congress and Senate that often seem compromised by politics and self-interest. Adversaries within our own nation and around the world, appearing bent on undermining the freedoms and stability of the First World through orchestrated chaos using the Third World. Paid agitators and escalating violence at protests — as seen in recent tragic events like the Minneapolis confrontations involving figures such as Alex Pretti, where tensions boiled over into loss of life and national division — remind us how quickly unrest can spiral. What are we called to do when institutions falter, when adversaries rise, and when violence threatens to drown out reason? The answer isn't found in louder arguments, more strategies, or greater force. It's found in returning to the most basic, most truthful question Jesus still asks each of us today: "Do you love Me?"In this episode, we'll unpack the lessons from Jesus and Peter's exchange — the threefold question mirroring Peter's threefold denial, the call to "feed My sheep," and the deeper invitation to agape love that surpasses fear, failure, and circumstance. We'll explore how answering "Yes, Lord, You know that I love You" with raw honesty can anchor us when everything else shakes. Because in the end, when all else fails — governments, alliances, protests, or plans — we are called to one unwavering thing: to love Jesus above all. That love becomes our strength, our guide, and our ultimate response in turbulent times.Join me as we examine this life-changing scriptural moment and discover how it speaks directly to the challenges we face right now. If your heart is weary from the headlines, if you're searching for clarity amid the storm, this episode is for you.Listen now, reflect deeply, and answer the question for yourself: Do you love Him?Subscribe to The Heart of God for more episodes that draw us closer to the Father's heart.

I'm your host, Barry Voorhies, and in Episode 106: "What To Do Now?", we're confronting a sobering moment for the Church. A mob of anti-ICE protesters, joined by journalist Don Lemon, stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, disrupting Sunday worship and sparking national outrage over the invasion of a house of God. As ICE and DHS press forward with arrests of wanted felons amid escalating tensions, many Christians are weary—tired of the theft, the violence, the open blasphemy, and the relentless attacks on biblical values and religious freedom. How do we respond as believers? Not with despair or rage, but with targeted, powerful prayer—prayer that rises as spiritual warfare. Drawing from Ps. 138, we find God's secret explanation of what He's doing until eternity.  What specific petitions should we bring before the throne right now? How do we pray against persecution while guarding our hearts from bitterness?

We dive deep into a provocative question straight from Scripture. The Bible calls Satan the "Father of Lies" in John 8:44, so how could a so-called "Democratic Coalition of Satanists" even exist without crumbling under deception and division? Is this label an outright oxymoron, or is there something more sinister at play in modern politics? Join us as we unpack why this shadowy group is publicly thanking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and examine why Minnesota appears to be ground zero for political graft, widespread fraud, and relentless lies aimed at undermining our Constitutional Republic.

They Got Maduro!, we confront one of the most explosive developments rocking the globe right now: the dramatic capture and extradition of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces in early January 2026. This isn't just another headline—it's a seismic shift with massive implications for global power, oil markets, election integrity, and even the spiritual battle raging behind the scenes.Who truly benefits from Maduro's fall?

Could Maduro, now in U.S. custody facing charges of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and more, start "singing" about everything he knows—including alleged foreign influences in elections far beyond Venezuela?And what about the bigger questions shaking the foundations of recent history? Was there Chinese involvement in efforts to sway the 2020 U.S. election through backchannels in Venezuela? Are President Donald Trump and millions who have long claimed that election was stolen on the verge of vindication as these threads unravel?Most critically: How does all of this ripple into our upcoming 2026 elections—arguably the most pivotal in modern history, where the fate of freedom, sovereignty, and divine order in nations hangs in the balance?

Welcome to Episode 102 of The Heart of God podcast – Part 2 of our gripping series: "Did Nick Shirley Find Somalian Giants in Minnesota?" Picking up right where Part 1 left off, this weekend has exploded with shocking developments in the Minnesota fraud scandal. Independent journalist Nick Shirley's viral investigation into alleged graft and massive fraud at federally funded Somali-run child care centers has uncovered even more layers of deception, with new reports of billions in taxpayer dollars potentially misused amid ongoing federal probes. As headlines swirl around escalating revelations of corruption, we dive deeper into what these modern-day "giants" of deceit and injustice reveal about our world today. But the news doesn't stop there – in a stunning global bombshell from Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro has been captured in a daring U.S.-led raid and flown to New York City to face long-standing charges. What does this dramatic fall of a powerful figure mean in the bigger picture? Through it all, we turn to the timeless wisdom of Scripture for profound insight. Late in life, King David – the giant-slayer of his youth – still faced formidable Philistine giants descending from Goliath himself (2 Samuel 21:15-22). Even as an older warrior, David and his mighty men confronted these towering threats head-on. What lessons does David's enduring battle offer us amid today's chaos? How do these current events – from fraud scandals to regime-changing raids – illuminate God's sovereign plan and His ultimate path to the salvation of man? Join us as we explore the heart of God in these turbulent times, uncovering hope, justice, and divine purpose.

Welcome to Episode 101 of The Heart of God podcast – "Did Nick Shirley Find Somalian Giants In Minnesota?"!In this provocative episode, we dive into the explosive allegations shaking Minnesota: independent journalist Nick Shirley's viral investigation uncovering apparent widespread fraud, graft, and corruption in federally funded programs, particularly childcare centers tied to the Somali community. With claims of billions in taxpayer dollars diverted through empty facilities and questionable operations – backed by ongoing federal probes into schemes like Feeding Our Future – we examine the shocking statistics revealing high welfare dependency in Minnesota's Somali population and ask: How deep does this corruption run, and what hidden "giants" of deception are resurfacing today? Drawing powerful parallels to biblical history, we'll explore King David's late-life battles against the returning Philistine giants in 2 Samuel (including the descendants of Goliath thought long defeated). Just as these ancient threats reemerged to challenge Israel, modern "giants" of fraud, exploitation, and spiritual strongholds threaten our society. What can we learn from David's triumphant prayer of deliverance in 2 Samuel 22 – a song of God's power over enemies, storms, and darkness? How does this psalm teach us to pray boldly for victory, exposure of evil, and revival in our nation today? If you're seeking biblical insight on current events, spiritual warfare against corruption, understanding God's heart for justice, or encouragement through David's prayers, this episode will equip and inspire you.
