What flows from your life begins in your heart.

This week, Joey and Paul unpack Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” From fatherhood to discipline, leadership to mindset, they walk through how your core values determine your direction, legacy, and inner peace.

🔑 Topics Covered:

• Why your heart is the foundation of every choice

• How to build a code you actually live by

• Guarding your time, inputs, and energy

• How Paul and Joey are living this out (Cory G Pump 30 + Anabolic Fasting)

💥 Plus: The launch of our new segment — Max Effort Mindset — helping you show up with conviction and lead yourself like your legacy depends on it.

🎧 Listener Challenge:

Ask:

1. What do I say I value?

2. What does my life reflect?

3. Where’s the gap between the two?

Then pick one value to live out with bold, daily action.

📖 Bible Verse: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
