About this episode

Ben Young discusses how habits shape our hearts and influence our lives, emphasizing the importance of loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind.

Habits don’t just shape your routine—they shape your heart. And when your heart drifts, everything else eventually follows. Everyone has habits. Some are visible. Some are hidden. But over time, every habit is forming something deeper—your heart. In this message, we explore what Jesus called the most important command: loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37–38). If the heart is the control center of life, then it makes sense that when things feel off—relationships, priorities, peace—it often traces back to something happening beneath the surface.
