Jonathan and Matt are asking the question each week, “what are youlistening to?”  Every day we are bombarded with voices and opinions that try to direct our lives, so the question is “which voices should we listen to?”  Each episode will focus on different groups that we hear from often, and we will discuss how believers can discern which of those voices they should listen to.  In this episode they will talk about the topic of your heart.  Culture tells us to “follow our hearts,” but is that a sound biblical advice?  They will talk about how pride and the pursuit of pleasure can taint our hearts, and how we must be discerning when we listen to our hearts.
