SUMMARY
This can be uncomfortable, but we hope you'll listen in! We all struggle with sin, but it is tough to admit what our idols are. Though we are created to be worshippers, we often fall short and worship things other than God. In this episode, we can learn how to identify our idols and how we can turn our worship to the one true God.
