Getting to know, God is an extremely intimate time in your life. In this episode as Carolyn is continuing her walk with Jesus, she unpacks the relationships of others that she highly admires and desires.
Coming from a past rooted in idolatry while being a part of the new age practices, Carolyn realized that everyday she has to guard and protect herself against the simple things in life that are easy to idolize. Power, Fame, Success, Relationships, Materialism, Excessive Veneration of People,
All the things right??!
It’s completely OKAY to desire companionship, to desire friends, to desire a certain type of lifestyle. However, we often have to remind ourselves not to make comparisons of where we are in our lives with what others already have as a part of their lives and fall victim to worshipping what we see!
This episode also goes shortly into depth around the importance of reading your Bible for yourself to gain understanding of God’s word. It’s very easy to listen to podcast shows, YouTube videos, influencers who may be leading in the Christian space. However, a reminder is needed that these people that you admire are still FLESHLY, IMPERFECT BEINGS, AS WELL.
If at any point, you find that you are investing more of your time into listening to biblical teachers rather than actually reading your Bible for yourself, it may be time to put a bookmark on how much time you spend listening to biblical teachers and ask God to lead you to learn his word for yourself. The last thing you want to do is be always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of truth on your own.
2Timothy 3:7
“always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.”
