New Podcast Episode: What Have You Placed As An Idol in Your Life?

Hello friends,

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve been following along with The 6Eleven Life podcast, you’ll know that I’ve been on a journey these past few months—digging deep into God’s Word and sharing reflections from my six-month, cover-to-cover Bible study. And now, in Episode 11, I’m wrapping up the Bible Study Chronicles series with a topic that I believe we all need to revisit regularly: What have you placed as an idol in your life?

Before you quickly say, “Oh not me, I don’t worship statues,” I invite you to pause and take a deeper look. Because idolatry isn’t just about golden calves or ancient altars—it’s about anything that takes up more space in our hearts than God.

It can be our children, our marriage, our career, even our emotions. Yes, even our ministry work.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What an idol truly is in today’s world (spoiler: it’s not always obvious)
• Biblical examples like the Israelites, Solomon, and the rich young ruler
• How even good things—like family, self-care, and ambition—can become idols
• Practical, honest ways to surrender those idols and return to God fully

I share my own thoughts on the cultural messages we hear daily—like “just follow your heart” or “put yourself first”—and how, if we’re not careful, those ideas can quietly take God off the throne of our lives.

I also talk candidly about how hard it is sometimes to balance family, work, and ministry—and how easy it is to start relying on those things for our worth and identity. The truth is this: only Jesus satisfies. Everything else, no matter how beautiful, can’t hold the weight of our worship.

This episode is a personal one for me, because I’ve had to ask myself these questions too:

• What do I turn to first—before I turn to God?
• What am I afraid to lose?
• What gets most of my energy, thoughts, and trust?

I encourage you to ask yourself the same.

The good news is, God doesn’t point out our idols to shame us. He invites us back to Himself with love and grace. Always.

So go ahead and tune in. Whether you’re a new believer or a seasoned Christian, I believe this episode will help you take a fresh look at your heart and center your life back on the One who truly matters.
