Teachback Tuesday: Don't Follow Your Heart

About this episode

This episode discusses the reasons why following your heart may not be wise, based on biblical principles.

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, "Don't Follow Your Heart" is from our first season in 2021, and it received thousands of downloads. There were many listeners who wanted to know why following their heart was not a good idea. "Follow your heart" is the motto of the times, but popular is not always principled. Proverbs 28:26 warns us that "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered." Play foolish games, win foolish prizes. This episode will cover four reasons not to follow our hearts. Share this with your friends, especially if you see them headed for a cliff in life.
