About this listen

✨ This is a midweek bonus episode released outside of our regular Monday schedule.



In today’s episode of Where Faith Lives, we’re having a necessary heart-check conversation about idolatry — not the obvious kind, but the quiet ones that slowly replace God in our lives.


Using Jeremiah 17:5–8 as the foundation, this episode exposes how jobs, relationships, money, comfort, emotions, church culture, and even our own plans can become sources we trust more than God.


Idols don’t always look sinful.

Sometimes they look like blessings.

And sometimes you don’t realize something has become an idol until the thought of losing it shakes you more than losing closeness with God.


This episode is convicting, honest, and rooted in love — not shame. It’s an invitation to realign, uproot what doesn’t belong, and return to God as our true source.
