The Importance of Monitoring the Emotional and Spiritual Health of Your Heart

In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the significance of paying attention to the emotional and spiritual condition of one's heart. While there are tests and evaluations available for monitoring the physical health of the heart, the speaker poses the question of how we monitor our emotional and spiritual well-being. Quoting the wisdom of Solomon, the speaker notes that the heart is the command center of our lives, including our mind, will, feelings, and emotions.
