Episode 7 - Your Porsche or Your Purpose: What is idolatry
Ken and Bill explore what it truly means to be disciples of Christ and the subtle ways idolatry creeps into our daily lives. They discuss how anything taking priority over God—from sports obsessions to material possessions—can become an idol that distracts us from authentic discipleship.
• Modern idolatry isn't about statues but anything given undue reverence over God
• Bill realized during COVID that he spent 20-30 hours weekly watching football
• Ken confesses his obsessions with finding the perfect vehicle and checking his credit score
• Making disciples requires being a disciple first—growing in knowledge and trust in God
• True discipleship involves faithfulness in small things before big accomplishments
• The narrow road of discipleship isn't restrictive but about traveling light with God
• When you follow God, your life changes—but not in the prosperity gospel sense
• Every Christian struggles; we're not David in the Goliath story but the bystanders
