The Worst Advice You'll Ever Get

Have you ever been told to "follow your heart"?It sounds inspiring.It sounds authentic.It sounds like good advice.But what if it's actually one of the most dangerous pieces of advice you'll ever hear?In this episode of You Would Think, I challenge one of the most common cultural sayings through the lens of Scripture. We'll explore why the Bible never tells us to follow our hearts and why Jesus offers us something far better.Drawing from my own story of addiction, alcoholism, and recovery, I'll share how following my feelings led me deeper into bondage—and how God transformed my life by giving me a new heart and renewing my mind.In this episode, we'll discuss:• Why "Follow Your Heart" is such a dangerous philosophy• What the Bible really teaches about the human heart• Why feelings are real but make terrible authorities• The difference between following your heart and following Christ• Eve in the Garden of Eden vs. Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane• God's promise of a new heart in Ezekiel 36• How Ephesians 4 and Romans 12 explain spiritual transformation• My personal testimony of addiction, surrender, and salvationFreedom isn't found by trusting yourself.Freedom is found by following Jesus.📖 Scriptures Referenced:• Genesis 3• Jeremiah 17:9• Proverbs 28:26• Ezekiel 36:26• Romans 12:2• Ephesians 4:22–24• Luke 22:42👍 If this episode encouraged or challenged you, please:• Like the video• Subscribe to the channel• Leave a comment• Share it with someone who needs to hear it📬 Join the Newsletter:https://youwouldthink.riverside.com/newsletter🎙️ One-on-One Recovery & Mental Health Coaching:mailto:[email protected] —You Would Think is a Christian podcast devoted to confronting our own thoughts and feelings so we can learn to face reality as it is instead of continuing to be disappointed in how we wish it was.Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code: 4CTQ3SDEZFBZTUWY#FollowYourHeart #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #Faith #Jesus #Discipleship #ChristianLiving #AddictionRecovery #Recovery #Sobriety #MentalHealth #RenewYourMind #IdentityInChrist #BibleStudy
