Description

295 – What do you think of when you hear the phrase: worshiping idols?

You probably think of something that happened thousands of years ago, but isn't relevant in today's world.

I  mean really, who bows down to idols today?

Well, you’d be surprised. We may not make idols the way people in the Bible did, but there are modern day idols that we need to quit worshiping.

My guest this week, Jake Doberenz, host of the Smashing Idols Podcast, talks about some of the idols in today’s world that even the church has been bowing down to. And he’ll share: 

  • How to realize this is what’s going on when you’re not aware of it 
  • How to quit worshiping these modern day idols
  • How to destroy them
  • The blessings that come when you do this.

Jake says there are often times when we have to make choices in life. We can’t follow the world and Christ at the same time. We can’t serve a materialistic way of life and God. We need to serve God and follow Christ. 

And in the process, not to make idols out of our own opinions and perspectives.

I’m putting together a special program called Guilt Free Faith. So many people I talk to are walking around with guilt and shame they don’t need to hold onto. They deserve to let go of this burden of guilt and live their lives in freedom.

It’s going to be a small group program. I’ll be running it over the next few weeks and it's starting soon. If you’d like more information, contact me and I’ll send you all the details.
