Above All Else Guard Your Heart – Proverbs Time of Guided Prayer on the BreakPoint Podcast

The gospel isn’t just two chapters, but four – not just fall and redemption. Rather, the whole story begins with creation – then fall, redemption – and concludes with restoration (for His glory).

Pastor Matt Heard shares the importance of guarding our heart, understanding that the gospel is restoring us to the original purpose for which we were made. 

The heart includes – but is way more than – our emotions. It’s where we experience longing. It’s where we discern and understand. It’s where we ponder and think. It’s where we remember significant events. It’s where my interactions with others are birthed (all authentic relationships are heart connections). It’s where we experience stress (i.e., “Do not let your heart be troubled”). It’s where we cultivate our intensity. It’s the center of our attitude. It’s where we exhibit courage. Bottom line – our heart – including our walk with God (it’s with our heart that we believe)
