Heart Over Habit


Listen Later

In this episode, we journey through Matthew 15:1–20 as Jesus confronts religious legalism. With the Pharisees' focus on tradition and outward appearance, Jesus redirects them to check out the condition of their hearts. This passage reminds us that faith is not about what we do for God, but about what God has already done for us. Our obedience is meant to be a response of gratitude, not a way to earn His favor.

This episode calls us to examine the health of our hearts, consider what we allow to shape our thoughts and desires, and pursue a genuine relationship with Jesus, rather than empty rule-keeping.

Reflection Questions:

1. Are you more focused on outward obedience or inward transformation?

2. What are you currently feeding your heart through what you watch and listen to?

3. Are there habits in your life that have replaced true relationship with God?

Don’t settle for surface-level faith!!
