Open Doors is a conversation about inviting God’s love, presence, and power into our hearts. We are friends and teammates from Heart of the Father Ministries who share in the mission of setting captive hearts free through Unbound ministry. We’ll be touching on the impact of Neal Lozano’s book, Unbound, and hearing stories of lives changed through Unbound ministry. At times we’ll dig deep into the Five Keys of Unbound, simple responses to the gospel with profound impact on hearts and lives. Join us for stories, insights, reflections, and prayer as we seek Him together! Learn more at www.heartofthefather.com. Music by Christian Harper. Artwork by Rosemary Strohm at Command-S.

Meet David and Anne Trufant, married 44 years, Emeritus Executive Directors for two camps, and still serving the Lord!! We hear the Trufants' tale of how they first met. “I probably was the last person on his list,” Anne quips. Early in their family life, with four young children, the Trufants dreamed of owning a summer camp, but “we didn’t have any money,” said David. We learn the amazing way in which God opened doors and made a way, including Anne receiving a word from the Lord in the...
Love is the topic of this final episode of our Advent series as Lisa hosts Matt and Jenn, who recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. They discuss the two sides of love – both in the context of marriage and in our relationship with Jesus as we approach Christmas. There is the “feelings” kind of love and then there is the deeper love which equals commitment. Sometimes this means doing something we don’t feel like doing, but it brings about depth and purpose within a relationship. W...
Join Jacqueline, Janet, and Lisa for the third week of our Advent series as we explore something we’re all craving these days: real joy. With so much heaviness in the world, joy can feel distant or even confusing. So what is this kind of joy we’re meant to experience, and why can it feel so hard to hold onto? In this episode, these three dig into the meaning of joy from a faith perspective, but also through personal stories that show what it looks like in real life. Janet provides several hel...
Can you think of a time in your life when you experienced profound peace?

The birth of Jesus can be described as: A message of peace from the heart of our Heavenly Father. Neal encourages listeners to pursue a relationship with Jesus because He Himself is our peace (Ephesians 2:14). It was the intention of God to bring peace throug...
Welcome to a new Advent season on Open Doors! In this first Advent episode , host Jacqueline joins friends Jenn and Lisa to explore the rich theme of hope.

Drawin...
In this inspiring episode, Matt Lozano hosts Emily Wilson as they meet with Patty McDonald, leader of the Unbound team in San Jose, California. Patty shares how her faith journey has been marked not by one dramatic conversion, but by many “little conversions”, moments of grace that have drawn her closer to the heart of Jesus.

In the book Unbound, Neal emphasizes that speaking words out loud is important.

Jacqueline speaks of a significant moment in her life when the power ...
Emily hosts Matt and Jacqueline for Week 5 of our Unbound Book Study: "I Renounce in The Name of Jesus." Speaking renunciation is crucial because “It gets you out of your own head,” says Matt. It declares a verbal end to lies and negative influences and creates accountability, providing a "feedback loop" to hear your expressed will. It is participating in God's creative act by saying "no" to darkness and "yes" to light. Praying in Jesus’ name means communion with His person and will, r...

They have a beautiful discussion, wondering what kind of reception the prodi...
We often hear that God has a plan for our lives, but what about the devil? In this episode, Neal, Lisa, and Jacqueline discuss Chapter Two of Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance. Taking questions from the Unbound Book Study, they cover key points from this chapter entitled: “Satan Has a Plan for Your Life.” Often we don’t realize we are believing lies because they are subtle and hidden in our thoughts.

“I have always known Jesus to be my best friend,” shares Helen Stewart, Regional Coordinator for Ireland who describes herself as just a simple girl from the country. Helen organized the recent Unbound conference in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, where Matt Lozano presented, along with Sue Walsh of Unbound UK. As a young mother, Helen unexpectedly experienced crippling anxiety which created what she now knows were “entryways.” She believes the enemy stole both her voice and her joy. “He onl...

“Anyone seeking freedom is coming with a heart that’s just beautiful,” states Neal Lozano while sharing about connecting heart-to-heart with someone desiring Unbound prayer. “What we’re offering them is our presence, our past experience, receiving from God, and our faith.” Prior to an Unbound session, Neal prays on his own – recently it has been the Lord’s Prayer. Within the session, he invokes the Holy Spirit, asking for help from our Heavenly Father, and for the intercessor present to bring...
