Identifying Idolatry | Dealing with Modern Day Idols | Bible, Bros & Brew

Bible, Bros & Brew

What if the idols of today weren’t golden statues but everyday distractions?

In this episode of Bible, Bros, and Brew, we explore the modern-day idols that compete for our attention—whether it's career success, political allegiance, or social media validation. Rooted in Exodus 20:3, we revisit the first commandment to reveal how it still applies in today’s world, urging us to refocus on God amid life’s many distractions.

While enjoying our favorite coffee—whether it’s Peet's French Roast or a smooth Califia Farms Mocha Almond Latte— we dive deep into the often-misunderstood concept of God’s jealousy, likening it to the fidelity of a marriage, showing how it’s truly an expression of God's love and a desire for our exclusive devotion.

Through biblical references and personal stories, we expose the uncomfortable truths of modern idolatry—from the devaluation of human life to the hyper-sexualization of our culture. We challenge you to recognize the idols in your own life and rediscover what it means to put God first.

This episode is a powerful reminder that overcoming idolatry is not just about avoiding the obvious distractions, but about nurturing a deeper relationship with God. Join us for a thought-provoking, life-changing discussion that will leave you spiritually refreshed.
