About this listen

In this episode of Fight the Good Fight, JD Ross unpacks the vital call to “guard your heart,” drawing from Proverbs 4:23, Psalm 51:10, and Matthew 5:8. JD explains that protecting your heart isn’t about isolation but about intentionally monitoring the influences you allow in—your thoughts, relationships, and responses.
He warns against letting bitterness, fear, greed, and anger take root, encouraging listeners instead to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). JD also provides three practical steps for guarding your heart:
- Check your inputs – be mindful of what you watch and listen to.
- Check your relationships – distance yourself from influences that stir negativity.
- Check your responses – pause before reacting with anger, fear, or doubt.
Ultimately, JD reminds us that everything flows from the heart—and when we stumble, God’s mercy is there to help us realign with His truth.
