What You Scroll Is Shaping You: The Self Control to Guard Your Heart From What You Consume

ByAsh Dion

Listen to Episode 85: What You Scroll Is Shaping Your. The Self Control to Guard Your Heart From What You Consume

Have you ever gotten so pulled into a story, a trial, a show, or somebody else’s life online that you couldn’t put it down?
Do you feel weary and anxious and can’t quite trace where it started?
What if the thing quietly draining your peace isn’t your circumstances at all, but what you’ve been letting in?

In this episode, Ash gets honest about becoming deeply invested in the Lindsay Clancy trial and the Secrete Lives of Mormon Wives. And takes a look at what Scripture says about protecting what reaches your heart. There’s nothing wrong with caring or being curious. But Proverbs tells us to guard our hearts above all else, and that “above all else” was never a suggestion. We’re called to love people and serve them, but not at the cost of our connection with God.

Ash takes a deep dive through Proverbs 4. She unpacks what guarding your heart actually looks like biblically and how you can stay grounded in the moment.

The best way to guard your heart is to drop everything and run to Jesus.
