Discipleship on Repeat

Modern Day Idols: Money part 2

What Truly Satisfies? The world constantly pushes the idea that more is always better—more money, more stuff, more success. It convinces us that satisfaction is just one step beyond what we currently have. But Scripture tells a different story: contentment is true wealth. Real abundance isn’t found in accumulation, but in trusting God and being satisfied in what He’s already provided. We also confront the belief that money brings power and control—the ability to shape life on our own terms. Yet the Bible reveals a deeper truth: surrender leads to freedom. Letting go of control and trusting God breaks the grip of money and opens the door to peace. This episode invites you to step off the endless treadmill of “more” and discover the freedom found in contentment and surrender. Verses * ‭‭‭‭1 Timothy 6:6–8 * Ecclesiastes 5:10 * Hebrews 13:5 * Matthew 6:24 * James 4:13–15 * 2 Corinthians 9:7 * Acts 20:35 Heart-check questions Ask yourself honestly: •Do I feel safer with money than with God? •Do I obey God even when it costs financially? •Does generosity bring joy or anxiety? •Would losing income shake my identity? Wherever the answer reveals tension, that’s where spiritual work begins. How To Live It Out 1. Daily •Pray: “God, You are my source.” •Thank Him for provision. 2.

Modern Day Idols: Money part 1

What Are You Really Trusting? The world tells us money equals security—if you just had more, you’d finally feel safe. It also teaches that money defines your identity and success, measuring your worth by what you earn, own, and achieve. But Scripture flips that completely: true security is found in God alone, not in a bank account that can never fully satisfy. The Bible reminds us that our identity is not in wealth, but in sonship and stewardship—we are children of God entrusted with what He provides. And success isn’t accumulation; it’s faithfulness. This episode challenges you to examine where your trust really lies and invites you to break free from the quiet pull of money as an idol. Verses * ‭‭‭‭Proverbs 11:28 * Matthew 6:25–34 * Psalm 20:7 * Matthew 6:33 * Luke 12:15 * Galatians 2:20 * Psalm 24:1 * 1 Corinthians 4:2 * ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭21‬ * Matthew 6:21 5 Signs money may be an idol According to Scripture and Christian teaching, money is becoming an idol when: 1- It determines your sense of worth 2- You feel secure only when finances are strong 3- Obedience to God is compromised for financial gain 4- Generosity feels threatening 5- Anxiety about money dominates your thoughts Keep Grinding!

Word of the Year

Words are powerful. Words give direction. Words can bring focus. When we seek God, we will find Him.  One way to seek God is by asking for a word for the year.  Verses  Genesis 1 John 1:1 Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ Keep Grinding!

Modern Day Idols: Comfort

In this episode, we’re uncovering the quiet idol most of us don’t even realize we’re serving: comfort. It promises ease and relief, but often steals our growth, courage, and obedience. Being a disciple of Jesus will cost us something…could be our comfort.  Verses * ‭‭‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭ * Exodus 32 * Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ * Luke 14:25-33 * John 3:30 How To Live It Out 1. Identify when choosing comfort over sacrifice. Does my choice of comfort lead me to or away from God?  2. Decide to put God first (John 3:30) - am I seeking comfort or the comforter? 3. Share with someone where you trust comfort more than God…then change it. Choose uncomfortability.  Keep Grinding!
