We didn't see it coming. That's the thing about idols — they don't announce themselves. They slip in quietly, through good things, big dreams, and answered prayers that slowly start taking up more space than God himself.

In this episode we're getting honest about the things we've personally put before God — and how we didn't even realize it was happening until He held up a mirror.

🕊️ We dive into:

• Why idols are rarely what you think they are
• How good things — marriage, kids, career, even ministry — become ultimate things
• The signs that something has too much control over your mood, time, and thoughts
• How God reveals idols — not to condemn you but to free you
• What it actually looks like to reorder your priorities without shame
