Keep Your Heart on Course: The Hidden Drift That Weakens Your Faith
How do you stay faithful—not just for a season, but for a lifetime?
In this episode of the Rob
Skinner Podcast, Rob dives into a powerful truth from Proverbs
23:
“Keep your heart on the
right course.”
The greatest challenge in the Christian life isn’t starting strong—it’s staying strong.
Over time, many believers don’t
walk away from God… they simply drift.
A little less focus. A little more comfort. A slow shift in
direction.
And before long, their passion fades.
In this episode, Rob unpacks three common areas where drift begins—food, drink, and rest—and explains how even good things can quietly pull your heart off course if left unchecked.
This is not about legalism. It’s about direction, discipline, and staying spiritually sharp.
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why the Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint
- The difference between freedom and lack of discipline
