Scripture Focus:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” - Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” - Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

Episode Overview

Your heart is powerful - it directs your choices, shapes your emotions, and influences your relationship with God. But Scripture reminds us that our hearts can also be deceptive if left unguarded.

In this episode, Amber and Courtney unpack what it really means to “guard your heart.” They explore the tension between trusting God and trusting our own emotions, and they dive into how to protect your heart through wisdom, boundaries, and spiritual awareness.

In This Episode

• What it means to truly guard your heart
• Why the heart can be deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9–10) - and where hope is found
• The danger of relying on our own will, thoughts, and emotions
• “Follow your heart” - what culture says vs. what God says
• Seeing God’s will through mindful thoughts, actions, and relationships
• Setting healthy boundaries and seeking godly wisdom
• Processing faith out loud - learning to trust His voice over our own

Faith Reflection

Take time this week to ask yourself:
➡️ What does guarding your heart look like for you right now?
➡️ Where do you feel the most challenged in doing that?

Key Takeaway

Trusting in human wisdom and strength is unreliable. True peace and direction come when we seek Him by choice, not because we lack knowledge - but because we trust His wisdom more than our own.
