Summary
Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series by unpacking the Biblical principle of letting God shape our heart's desires. We often believe we will find satisfaction in making our own decisions and simply asking God to bless them. But all throughout Scripture it is clear that God wants to guide us, direct our paths, give us wisdom, and show us the way we should go. Scripture is also clear that as we build our lives around Him, our desires align with His. This episode challenges us to freshly examine whether we are truly allowing God to shape our desires and lead our lives.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Leslie Lutty, host of the Soutaparte podcast, Biblical Encouragement for Women. |
| 0:04.9 | We are in our emotional health series, and we are going to be diving into what it means to let God shape the desires of our heart. |
| 0:11.9 | This has been a really, really important truth for me all the way back to when I was a teenager. |
| 0:17.6 | I remember wrestling with these truths of the desires of my heart and |
| 0:21.0 | understanding God's will and how he is involved in shaping the desires of my heart. And that is |
| 0:25.8 | such an important key to having our emotions rooted and grounded in Christ. Because so often |
| 0:31.3 | our emotions are caught up in our desires and hopes and our expectations. And a lot of times |
| 0:37.1 | we have this idea that God |
| 0:38.4 | is sort of competing against or fighting against the desires of our heart when in actuality |
| 0:43.8 | he wants to shape the desires of our heart. So it's a really profound biblical meditation |
| 0:47.7 | that we're going to be talking about today. Before we jump in, I wanted to let you know a couple |
| 0:51.6 | of things. There's still time to get in on the online version of the |
| 0:55.8 | 26 Setapart Conference. So if you go to Setapart.org and click on events, you can sign up to be a part of the online version, which means you'll have access to the conference sessions all the way through the rest of 2026. It's a great way to meditate on the truths. What we talked about in this year's conference |
| 1:11.6 | was all about cultivating a lasting lifelong, passionate devotion to Jesus Christ. Really |
| 1:17.0 | powerful and really life changing for women of every age and every stage of life. It's also |
| 1:21.8 | a great way to share the Soutapart message with other women in your life. So again, just go to |
| 1:26.3 | Soutapart.org, click on events, |
| 1:27.8 | or there'll be a link in the podcast description. Also, there's still time to join us at Ellersley |
| 1:32.1 | in Colorado this July and August for our five-week discipleship training program. So if you are |
| 1:37.8 | eager to have a time in your life where you can come away from the busyness, the cares, |
| 1:42.3 | the distractions, and really sit at Jesus' feet |
| 1:45.1 | and become so grounded in truth and so solid in faith. One of the girls that I was recently |
