Can a Believer in Jesus Be Stubborn and Stiff-Necked Against Love, Respect, and Truth?

Can a Christian who loves Jesus still harden their heart against Him, resist His voice, and become stubborn—even in marriage or ministry? In this sobering message filled with real-life testimonies and strong biblical warnings (including Proverbs 29:1 and 1 Corinthians 11), Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the shocking truth that believers can quietly close the door on God for years, sometimes until crisis or even death forces the issue. A wake-up call for every follower of Christ to stay soft and repentant.
