Is there something in your life that's taken God's seat — and you don't even realize it?
In this episode of Deformed Theology, Jonathan and David expose the hidden idols of modern life. It's not golden calves or carved statues — it's politics, sports, hobbies, and even good things that quietly slip into the throne room of your heart. Drawing from Scripture, they walk through how to recognize when a legitimate love becomes illegitimate worship — and how to tear those idols down before they harden your heart.🔹 What Scripture actually means by "idolatry" today
🔹 The subtle shift from appreciation to worship
🔹 Why politics and patriotism can become spiritual traps
🔹 How hobbies, entertainment, and even relationships compete for your devotion
🔹 The litmus test: what you run to first reveals what you worship
🔹 Practical steps to dethrone false gods and put Christ back at the center
📖 "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." — 1 John 5:21
