Don't Let Anything Take God's Place: Seven Ways to Guard Your Heart

Send us Fan Mail BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE:  Is anything competing with God for your devotion, obedience, or attention? The more fully devoted our hearts are to God, the more faithfully our lives reflect what it means to follow Christ. That is why guarding our hearts is essential—not only for our own walk with God but also for the example we set for those God has entrusted to us to disciple, including our families. In today’s podcast episode, we will examine the detrimental consequences of spiritual compromise through the life of King Solomon, identify areas of compromise in our own lives, and explore practical ways to guard our hearts against sin and idolatry so that we can remain faithful to God. Our foundational Scripture for today’s episode is 1 John 5:21 (NLT): “Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.” Share this episode with others, and send your questions, thoughts, and prayer requests to [email protected].
