Description

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:

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.



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.”

Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
