In this episode, Duke and Denisse talk for an hour straight on IDOLATRY. The conversation begins around "emotional idolatry" which for the purposes of this podcast episode happens when we elevate a misguided emotion, feeling, or attitude to the place of prominence in our hearts, essentially dethroning God as the Source of our comfort, peace, strength, etc. The conversation centers around being watchful of the things (in particular, the GOOD things) that we tend to REPLACE God with. Anytime we settle for less than Jesus... like when He gives us something, and then we promote that THING to the place of God... we have fallen intro idolatry. This conversation is about the invitation to be FULLY satisfied in God because that is where we experience true freedom.
