The Shepherds Have Become Dull-Hearted

By Shane Idleman Published on June 25, 2025

In this 37-minute video, Pastor Shane Idleman talks about how leaders can become dull-hearted. One reason is they were never passionate about God to begin with; the other is that they failed to keep the fire burning by seeking God, praying, obeying, and staying broken, humble, and contrite. But be encouraged!

Listen as Shane shares how God will “revive the spirit of the humble” (Isaiah 57:15). This helped him and can help you if you’re feeling worn down. Staying spiritually sharp is directly related to spiritual disciplines done with the right heart.
