Follow your heart? - St Aldates Church | Oxford

What this episode covers

So often, the world tells us that ‘the heart wants what it wants’ and to be 'true to ourselves'. But the reality is our desires, what The New Testament calls ‘the flesh’, can lead us away from our every day pursuit of God. Unpacking James’ teaching on temptation, desire and sin, Jodie encourages us to try the holy habits of fasting and confession in order grow in holiness with Christ. James 1:12-18
