May 15, 2024 • 59 mins

Southside family!! We are back with another insightful episode as we dive into the pervasive influence of celebrity culture, both in mainstream society and within our communities of faith. From Hollywood icons to revered and respected figures in Christian circles, the temptation to idolize and downright deify individuals is ever-present. But as we wade through this topic, we uncover some of the inherent dangers of placing mere mortals on pedestals and the disillusionment that can closely follow when we equate giftedness and resources with righteousness or God's blessing. Through candid discussion and biblical insights, we challenge the notion that fame and success are indicators of divine favor, emphasizing the importance of humility and discernment in our pursuit of true spiritual growth. Tune in as we navigate the complexities of idolatry and uncover the path to genuine worship and reverence for Jesus. Hold onto your butts!
