Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a chapter of Proverbs in under five minutes. Proverbs are wisdom-building tools given to us by God so that we would know how to handle the issues of life. We don't have to make things up as we go along. We've got a spiritual GPS: "God's Positioning System" found in His Word. 

Proverbs 2:6 is an inspiring verse for your week, proving that God gives us wisdom:

"For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:)

Welcome to this special interview episode with Dr John Vaprezsan, author of “Peace Beyond Panic: A Heavenly Perspective on Anxiety and Depression.” Dr. Vaprezsan shares the story of his own experiences with both panic attacks and depression, along with helpful insights and observations.

When Dr. Vaprezsan heard the words, “You’ve had a panic attack,” it shocked him, but he didn’t let that stop him. God used it as a vehicle to learn more about this and other related conditions associated with anxiety and depression. These studies, along with years of preaching and teaching on the topics, led to the ministry called “Journey to Freedom.,” which is a 40-day course biblically addressing the mind, body, emotions, spirit, and forgiveness in a way that produces sustainable change.

If you or someone you love has been trapped in a prison of anxiety or depression, this episode may be the beginning of your journey to freedom. Dr. Vaprezsan’s book, “Peace Beyond Panic” is in the shop at keeptheheart.com, as well as on Dr. Vaprezsan’s website, journeytofreedom.online. You’ll find a link to this ministry, along with a special listener's discount code in the notes below.

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit. There is no substitute for the wisdom we gain from the Word of God. When we don't know what to do or how to handle a situation, God knows and He can direct us through scripture. Biblical principles are not just for reading. They are meant to be applied to daily living.

Here's a great verse to apply for this week: "He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good." (Proverbs 19:8)

Get wisdom. It's the way to love your own soul.

Welcome to TEACHBACK TUESDAY! This episode had thousands of downloads in Season One. There must be a reason for that! Perhaps it's partly because we all have this human tendency to be argumentative, challenging, and even quarrelsome at times. If you had a chance to catch Contentious Relationships in 2021, this will be a refresher, but if you're new to Keep the Heart, this will give you some things to carefully consider in how you're interacting with others.

Are there certain things that just easily set you off? If so, you'll find that these irritants often lead to disagreements in your relationships. We will never argue our way to happiness, and the only satisfaction in winning an argument is proving that you can be contentious to the finish line. What can we do about this human tendency to be contentious? The Bible has a lot to say about this subject, but we’ll just examine a few verses in this episode, leaving room for you to continue this important topical study on your own.

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a chapter of Proverbs in under five minutes while gaining valuable wisdom and understanding.

This chapter opens with an instruction that could be summed up in a word: LISTEN. The next portion of the chapter includes warnings about the pitfalls of immorality, which always takes more than it gives and costs more than anyone wants to pay.

The chapter continues with instructions for husbands to take to heart. Having a loving relationship is a priceless treasure. Even though this is a "couples" chapter, the wisdom is good for all of us to heed. It boils down to contentment.

"Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well." (Proverbs 5:15)
