Summary

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we air the most popular episodes from the previous season. This week, we’re replaying an episode that created a lot of chatter. The popular phrase, “Follow your heart” is contrary advice, but it's thrown around like an old family recipe. If you’ve ever followed your heart and gotten burned, you know firsthand that this is inaccurate advice. God is our guide, but when we ignore His clear principles and go with the demands of our desires, we end up in situations that cause anxiety, pain, and even despair. What is your true life purpose? Are you just here to feel good and jump from experience to experience until you’re old and worn out from a life that has left you emotionally and physically bankrupt? This Teachback Tuesday episode will provide four reasons why following our hearts is misguided. Share this episode with loved ones, especially those who look like they're heading for a cliff with their eyes wide open.

0:00.0	Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from the previous season.
0:05.4	This week, it's don't follow your heart. The popular phrase, follow your heart, is really contrary
0:11.1	advice. The heart was never meant to be a GPS that replaces God's word. New listeners, share this
0:17.3	episode with your friends, especially if they look like they're about to do something that's
0:20.9	going to get them hurt. And veteran listeners, we know you're already sharing these episodes,
0:26.0	and we thank you for that. Let's listen to this episode again. I can remember the warning I felt in my soul
0:32.2	when I met that young man in the registration line at college. He was handsome and really knew how to throw out the lines.
0:40.7	By the end of the registration, he had convinced me to go on a date with him. It was one of the
0:46.6	worst decisions of my life, and I can't blame it all on him. He didn't force me to date him.
0:52.6	I made an error. I followed my heart, and I learned the hard way how
0:57.7	damaging that can be.
1:05.6	Thank you for joining Keep the Heart for today's podcast with Francie Taylor.

1:18.0	back to today's important study. You know, without realizing it, we are often following our hearts instead of following God.
1:30.7	We have a tendency to number sin on a scale of 1 to 10 rather than being honest about the fact that we're doing our own thing while pretending to be godly.
1:41.4	Follow your heart has become the repetitive motto that sounds so noble, but it is misguided.
1:48.4	What does this saying really mean? Well, follow your heart is certainly not telling us to pay attention to the
1:54.8	beating muscle in our chest. It's a go-with-the-gut mentality that allows our minds to guide us apart from the mind of Christ.
2:03.3	Follow your heart sounds like a training camp slogan for the painful life.
2:08.3	God never intended for our hearts to be our guides.
2:11.2	He is our guide.
