Wholehearted—Loving God With All Your Heart

Wholehearted Emotions

Christy and Melanie talk about what it means to love God with all of our heart, specifically with our emotions. We all have feelings about feelings—they are both good and uncomfortable. Emotions can at times feel overwhelming, complicated, and difficult to control. But as we turn our hearts (and emotions) toward God, we choose to look to him to help wisely guide everything that we feel because we trust that he’s in it with us, directing us toward what is best for us. 

Listen in as we talk about what it looks like to submit our heart to the protection of the wisdom and guidance of God, which helps us to acknowledge and express our emotions in a healthier way.

  • Start a Podcast Club! Grab a friend (or two or three) and listen to the podcast and then have a conversation about it. We’ll always include some discussion prompts in the show notes.

Discussion questions:

  • Discuss the stigma around emotions. How do you hear the people around you talk about women and emotions? 
  • How do your children see you process emotions? How do you think this has an impact on them?
  • Read Proverbs 3:5-8, Proverbs 4:20-23. How are these words encouraging [or challenging] to you?
  • What would it look like for you to wholeheartedly submit your feelings to the wisdom and guidance of God?
  • What did you hear today as a next step that you could take toward Jesus and emotional health? Make/keep counseling appointment, spend regular time in scripture and prayer (maybe reading Psalms daily), do something creative, practice generosity, move your body, get outside, take a break from screens…
  • Spend some time in prayer, expressing to God your biggest feelings right now.
