We all let false “gods” gain such controlling positions in our hearts that we will spend large amounts of passion, energy, and emotional and financial resources on them without a second thought.
This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll teach you how to identify and then smash idols and phoney gods in your life.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
From this episode: “An idol is whatever you look at and say, in your heart of hearts, ‘If I have that, then I’ll feel my life has meaning, then I’ll know I have value, then I’ll feel significant and secure.’ There are many ways to describe that kind of relationship to something, but perhaps the best one is worship.”
- What idolatry is and how to recognize it in your own life.
- Why we're quick to defend our idols and counterfeit gods.
- How to uncover “the thing behind the thing” that exposes the real idol.
- 20 Idol-Crushing Questions that will help root out your idols.
