Episode 23 - Kayaks, Running Shoes, and Heaven: What Are You Really Waiting For?
Bill and Ken explore the things in our lives that often take priority over our relationship with God, examining how our choices and anticipations reveal what we truly worship.
• Modern idols such as material possessions, sports, and entertainment can subtly replace God as our priority
• The things we "can't wait for" often reveal what we truly worship
• We easily spend money and time on entertainment but struggle to dedicate resources to spiritual growth
• Passive Christianity doesn't work - faith requires active daily pursuit
• The worldly commandment of "just be nice" fails to reflect true biblical love that includes accountability
• Pride is the root of all sin and the primary obstacle in our spiritual growth
• Self-reflection is crucial to identifying priorities that have displaced God in our lives
• Our spiritual priorities affect not just our lives but those of our family and loved ones
