Return to Heart
Tin Man Ministries
What if the path to real transformation isn't found in more information, but in deeper conversation? From Tin Man Ministries, Return to Heart brings together seasoned theologians and mental health professionals with over 100 years of pastoral and clinical experience who've walked the journey in their own lives from brokenness to recovery of heart and wholeness. Through authentic conversations at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and theology, Return to Heart is a dialogue about topics that matter most like shame, attachment, identity, belonging, and finding those parts of you that got lost along the way to surviving. Return to Heart is an invitation to come home to honest connection with God, home to intimate relationships that matter to you, and home to the life your heart was made for.
