✨ Welcome to Deserts & Gardens Podcast! ✨In this episode, we’re talking about something that affects every relationship—especially marriage: what goes down in the well, comes up in the bucket. In other words, what you store in your heart eventually spills out in your words, your tone, and your actions. Whether it’s unresolved anger, bitterness, or even unspoken fears, those things don’t stay buried forever. We explore how to keep your "well" clean by staying rooted in God’s Word, bringing your heart to Him daily, and being honest about what’s really going on inside.📖 Key Topics:Why your inner life matters more than you thinkHow hidden emotions show up in your marriageThe spiritual importance of guarding your heartBiblical encouragement for emotional and spiritual health📖 Key Verses:Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”Luke 6:45 – “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”Psalm 51:10 – “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”💬 Let’s continue the conversation!What’s something you’ve noticed “coming up in the bucket” lately?
