In this episode of The Idols, we're talking about The Crown and the subtle ways success, money, ambition, and control can become more than things we desire. They can become the things we depend on to feel secure, accomplished, and worthy.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a successful career, financial stability, or a life you're proud of. The struggle begins when reaching the next milestone becomes proof that we're doing well, while delays and disappointments make us feel like we're falling behind.

Through Mark 8:36 and Jesus' parable of the rich fool in Luke 12, we're looking at the difference between wisely building a life and putting our security in what we've built. We'll also talk about comparison, the pressure to have life figured out in your twenties and thirties, our attachment to independence, and what it looks like to pursue your goals while still leaving room for God to redirect you.

The Crown isn't about becoming less ambitious. It's about making sure success never becomes responsible for telling us who we are.

Beauty isn’t the problem, and neither is enjoying a compliment. The trouble starts when appearance, comparison, and other people’s approval begin determining how we see ourselves. In The Mirror, we’re looking at Saul’s struggle with people’s opinions, the pressure women feel to maintain an image, and how to enjoy beauty without allowing the reflection to define our worth.

Idolatry doesn’t always look like a golden calf. Sometimes it looks like a good thing that has taken too much space in our hearts. In the first episode of The Idols, we’re getting honest about modern-day idolatry, what Scripture says about it, and how to recognize when a gift has quietly taken the place of the Giver.

everybody wants honest friends…until the honesty gets uncomfortable. 👀

we’re getting into accountability, correction, and what “iron sharpens iron” actually looks like in real friendship. because the people who love you well won’t always tell you what you want to hear—and how we receive that truth matters too. 🤍

We've all been there.

We see the text we haven't answered.

We notice someone struggling.

We think about checking in...

...and then life gets busy.

This episode isn't about guilt. It's about asking an honest question:

What does loving people like Jesus actually look like?

Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we'll talk about compassion, inconvenience, and why faith is more than something we believe—it's something we live.

Sis, this conversation isn't about doing more.

It's about becoming someone whose heart looks a little more like Jesus'.

Sometimes we treat our relationship with God like a report card; trying to earn His approval through doing all the "right" things. But what if we've misunderstood His heart all along?

Today we're looking at a parable that reminds us that God isn't impressed by appearances or performances. He's after something much deeper: our hearts.

Have you ever thought, "Once I get my life together, then I'll get serious about God?" You're not alone. So many of us believe we have to clean ourselves up before we can come back to Him. But the Parable of the Prodigal Son reminds us that God meets us with compassion, not condemnation. Today, we're talking about why you don't have to be perfect to be welcomed home.
