As we conclude our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe unpacks Proverbs 4:23 and explains why guarding your heart is one of the most important pursuits of the Christian life. He shows that the heart is the center of who we are, shaping our desires, decisions, and capacity to love God and others. Discover why our hearts are constantly being influenced, how sin affects them more deeply than we realize, and the practical ways we can protect and nourish them as we grow in wisdom and experience more life.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe explores Proverbs 26:20 and the surprising connection between gossip and conflict. He explains why we often "whisper" about others, what those conversations reveal about our hearts, and how the love of God meets our deepest needs for significance, belonging, and grace. Discover how growing in wisdom enables us to stop fueling conflict and become people who bring peace instead.

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Joe unpacks Proverbs 25:28 and shows us why self-control is essential to living a life of wisdom. He reminds us that our greatest struggle isn't a lack of willpower–it's misplaced affection. When anything becomes more important than God, our lives become vulnerable to compromise and brokenness. But as we grow in our love for Jesus and remember all he has done for us, our desires are reordered, our souls are strengthened, and we experience the protection and freedom found in him.
