The chat coach, sensing a nudge from the Holy Spirit, responded simply, “What is the condition of your heart?”
The man started to describe all the ways his heart is good now, but the chat coach used Scripture to point him to the spiritual condition of his heart. The man quickly recognized that sin was still rooted there. After going through the Steps to Peace with the online coach, he acknowledged that his temper problem was only a symptom of the bigger problem deep inside. In the Bible, God says, “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you” (Ezekiel 36:26, ESV).
The man asked God to do exactly that, confessing his sins and receiving new life through faith in Jesus Christ. The coach then pointed him to resources for growing in his walk with God.
