About this episode

The episode explores the concept of having a heart set on God, emphasizing surrender and faith through the life of George Müller.

Episode Description In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen continue Season 2 by exploring what it means to have a heart that is truly set on God. Building from Chapter Two of Becoming a Man After God , they introduce the idea of “heart set” versus mindset—arguing that while the mind may be easier to manage, the heart is what ultimately shapes who we become. Through the life of George Müller, Dustin and Luke examine what surrender looks like in real life, especially when obedience requires stepping away from what is safe, expected, or culturally approved. They discuss faith as an action, not just a belief, and wrestle honestly with the tension between trusting God and trying to meet your own needs.
