Summary

"Follow your heart" -- we've all heard it, but is it actually good advice? In this episode, Kirk and James dig into what we really mean when we say that, why the Bible has some pretty strong warnings about trusting our own hearts, and what God actually wants to do with your heart instead. Spoiler: it's not to ignore it -- it's to transform it. If you've ever felt like a slave to your own feelings and impulses, this one's for you.

And I don't think people actually understand what they're saying when they say that.

0:59.3

Yeah, what is my heart? What is following your heart actually entail?

Yeah.

1:24.2

They just want to kind of encourage someone so they say, follow your heart.

1:26.7

What could possibly be wrong with following your own heart? It sounds so altruistic. It sounds so authentic. It sounds like being the true you, I'm following my heart. What's wrong with that, James? Why am I asking you? You don't even have a heart. You're heartless. You're like the
