    Modern Idolatry

    In this episode of the Veritas Equipping podcast, we discuss how idolatry often involves elevating good things in our lives to ultimate things. Jake, Matthew, and Jordan highlight that anything, even blessings like family or success, can become idols if they take the place of God. By identifying and reordering these priorities, we can ensure that our worship and devotion remain centered on Christ. Embracing this truth allows us to enjoy God's gifts in their proper place and experience true fulfillment in him.
