Have you ever stopped to think about what has your heart?

Not just the big decisions, but the small, everyday leanings—toward worry, ambition, comfort, distraction… or toward God.

In this episode of The Next Faith-Filled Step, Sunny Cain sits down with Jen Wilkin for a conversation about wisdom, the heart, and the ways we are formed over time.

Too often we rely on willpower, striving, and self-discipline to change our lives. And there is a place for this. But Scripture points us to something deeper. Proverbs reminds us that wisdom is not simply about trying harder—it is about allowing God to shape our hearts from the inside out.

Jen Wilkin recently co-authored The Way of Wisdom, a study through Proverbs that explores how wisdom calls to us, how folly competes for our attention, and how what has our heart ultimately shapes the direction of our lives.

In this conversation, we talk about:

Why what has your heart shapes your life

The difference between wisdom and willpower

Why Scripture focuses on heart transformation, not just behavior change

How Proverbs uses the imagery of paths and walking to describe the Christian life

The battle between wisdom and folly for our attention and affection

How to recognize when something other than God has quietly captured our hearts

What it looks like to trust God instead of leaning on our own understanding

Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” This episode is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and ask what is truly shaping your life.

If you have ever felt caught between striving and surrender, or if you long to grow in biblical wisdom and walk more closely with God, this conversation will encourage you to take your next faith-filled step.
