53. Idolization vs. Inspiration
Meet the Host
Five years ago, after achieving my degrees and teaching as a professor, I was feeling proud that I had checked everything off my life list. But, I wasn’t satisfied in my marriage.
Today, I’m a relationship coach on a mission to resurrect the side of you that got lost in your marriage. Millions of people around the world soak up my content for advice on how to have a more satisfying relationship.
This week's episode touches upon the difference between idolization and inspiration.
God tells us that idols are as empty as the wind and we must constantly turn our hearts to him.
It seems pretty simple and obvious.
But, did you know that you could idolize your career?
You could even be idolizing your relationship.
The line is so thin and sneaky that you don't even see it coming.
In this episode, I share the top 3 things we tend to idolize rather than God.
Our Careers: when we idolize our careers we become workaholics. I share how our identity becomes wrapped up in how much we work.
Our Relationships: when we place pressure on our partners to be our everything. I share how our partners end up becoming our source of joy.
Entertainment: when things that are supposed to inspire you become your standard, instead of looking to God. I share how even things like famous artists, creators, etc become the standards for how we should live our lives.
Listen to the many ways we tend to worship the gift, rather than the gift giver.
P.S. If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to free yourselves of any idols and figure out who God is calling you to be, then let's work together. Book a sales call here so that we can do this work together. I'm so excited to meet you!
