Many Christians have been told, “the heart is deceitful above all things” (Jeremiah 17:9), leaving them afraid to trust what they sense inside. In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, Rafer Owens Jr. takes a fresh look at this misunderstood scripture, digging into the next verse where God Himself says, “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind.”

Rafer shares stories from the Heaven Come conference, his encounter with protesters, and how the Holy Spirit actually searches our hearts—not to condemn us, but to redeem us. You’ll discover why the Holy Spirit is the “cheat code to holiness,” how He reveals truth about Jesus and about ourselves, and why hiding your heart from God keeps you stuck.

If you’ve ever felt like your heart was unknowable, too far gone, or unworthy of God’s love, this message will help you see the Spirit’s work in a brand-new light. Transformation is possible—when you let Him in.

What if the most Christ-like version of you is still trapped under unredeemed feelings, passions, and impulses? In this episode of Shifts and Giggles, Rafer Owens Jr. unpacks what it really means when we say “Jesus came to redeem our hearts and renew our minds.”

Too often, Christians accept salvation but stop short of sanctification. Rafer breaks down the biblical meaning of the heart (our desires, affections, passions, impulses) and the mind (our thoughts, emotions, and inclinations) — and why Jesus came to redeem every single part of who we are.

If you’ve ever said, “That’s just who I am,” or “I can’t change,” this message will challenge you to let Jesus redeem what you’ve been holding back. Learn how to walk in wholeness (W-H-O-L-E), guard your heart, and practice sanctification in real time so your desires, impulses, and passions start to look more like Jesus.

If you’ve been following Jesus but still feel like something’s missing—this one is for you. In this episode, Rafer takes us back to the foundation: God the Father. Through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Rafer shows us that the Father is not distant, cold, or harsh—He’s present, compassionate, and deeply personal.

You’ll learn how reframing your view of God changes everything: how you live, how you see yourself, and how you love others.

This season is all about building a deeper, more personal relationship with the Father—because shift happens on purpose.

Scriptures referenced: Luke 15, 1 John 4, Romans 5, John 3:16
