Ross kicks off the Bumper Sticker Theology series by challenging the popular phrase “follow your heart,” showing us that while culture treats our hearts like a trustworthy compass, Scripture reveals they are actually bent, broken, and deceptive (Jeremiah 17:9). Instead of leading us to life, our hearts often lead us deeper into confusion and sin, exposing our need for something more than self-help or self-discovery. Ross points us to the real solution: not fixing our hearts, but surrendering them to Jesus, who gives us a brand-new heart and His Spirit to transform how we think, desire, and live (Ezekiel 36:26–27). This message invites us to stop trusting ourselves and start trusting God daily, allowing Him to take His rightful place at the center of our lives.
