Unpopular Opinion: “Just Follow Your Heart” Is Terrible Advice

In this episode of GROWING UP KINGDOM, we’re calling out one of the most popular lies Christians have casually accepted: “Just follow your heart.” It sounds deep. It sounds empowering. But is it actually biblical?I’m breaking down why this feel-good advice has left so many of us stuck, confused, or worse—far from the will of God. From movie plots to TikTok quotes and even Christian influencers, the idea of trusting your gut is everywhere. But what if your heart isn’t the trustworthy guide the world says it is? What if it’s… actually dangerous?We’ll unpack what Scripture says about the heart (hint: it’s not always pretty), why your emotions can’t lead your life, and what it really means to be led by the Spirit instead. If you've ever made a decision that “felt right” but ended up regretting it—this one’s for you.
