Listen "38 - Faith, Filters, & Focus | Protect Your Mind, Change Your Outcomes"
Episode Synopsis
Foundations beat tactics. In this powerful episode, Eddie Wilson unpacks Proverbs 4:23, “Guard your heart” and shows why your inputs (media, music, conversations, relationships, beliefs) inevitably become your outputs (words, decisions, results). From defining the “heart” as your thoughts, desires, and will, to a practical, 5-step Daily Heart Check, Eddie equips leaders to replace negativity with truth, protect emotions without going numb, and set boundaries that lift everyone around them. He also shares moving stories about forgiveness, perspective, and gratitude that demonstrate how guarding your heart transforms your life, leadership, and legacy.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Foundations vs tactics: why anchors matter00:39 – Worldview & order: the architect behind creation03:39 – Scripture as foundation: timeless truths for everyone04:23 – Proverbs 4:23 explained: “Guard your heart”05:16 – What “heart” means: thoughts, desires, will06:34 – Reverse engineering your results: fix inputs, not just actions07:35 – Scripture cross-check (Luke): overflow of the heart → life09:23 – Leadership ripple: your input → their outcome10:46 – Guarding ≠ walls: the heart as a garden12:27 – “Hurt people hurt people”: why inputs drive reactions14:07 – Step 1: Guard your inputs (think on true/honest/just)17:12 – Step 2: Anchor in capital-T Truth (Scripture/constitution)19:41 – Step 3: Monitor thoughts; replace lies with truth21:28 – Step 4: Set relational boundaries (influence ≠ access)23:07 – Step 5: Protect emotions—be a person of action, not reaction24:25 – Stay spiritually alert: battle the right enemy25:07 – Daily Heart Check: the 5-part routine26:29 – Gratitude reset story: perspective that heals29:23 – Relational filter & prayer/meditation release30:22 – Closing: guard inputs → experience abundant life Hosted on Acast.
