What if "follow your heart" isn't just bad advice... but the exact opposite of what Scripture teaches?

In this episode of You Would Think, we dive into one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible:

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." – Proverbs 4:23

What does it actually mean to "guard your heart"?

Is the heart simply our emotions, or is it something much deeper? Why would God tell us to guard our hearts if Jeremiah says they're deceitful? And what does it look like to live this out in everyday life, relationships, recovery, and following Christ?

In this episode, we explore:

✅ What the Bible really means by the word heart (Hebrew: leb)
✅ Why Proverbs 4:23 may be one of the most practical verses in Scripture
✅ Why God gives us a new heart but still commands us to guard it
✅ The difference between trusting your heart and trusting the Lord with all your heart
✅ How unguarded relationships nearly destroyed my life and fueled my addiction
✅ Why whatever captures your heart eventually directs your life
✅ Practical ways to guard your heart in a world competing for your attention

If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, codependency, addiction, unhealthy relationships, or simply trying to follow Jesus faithfully, I hope this conversation encourages and challenges you.

Remember:

You don't guard your heart because it's trustworthy. You guard it because it's influential. Everything you become flows from it.
