Episode 6: Let it Die: Lenten Gold

Today we focus on areas of our lives which we’ve held back from God because, honestly, they’re too precious to relinquish. Pastor Tim Keller often refers to the human heart as an idol factory, by which he means that we relentlessly worship the wrong things. We misplace our allegiance, our life’s work, our focus, our adoration and – ultimately – the love of our hearts on things that make us feel secure, significant, and temporarily satiated. Instead of giving ourselves – and our worship -- to the Lord, we hide away these idols for ourselves like kids with a secret candy stash.
