In this powerful teaching, Bishop Omar Thibeaux continues the Stolen Images series from Jasher 31:38–40, where Rachel steals her father's images before leaving Laban's house.This message reveals the difference between an image and an idol, showing that the real issue is not art, symbols, or pictures — the issue is worship. Bishop Omar teaches how idols can live in the heart through money, people, relationships, technology, family patterns, and anything that takes the place of God.This episode calls believers to examine what they are carrying, remove every idol, and return fully to Yahweh, the only One worthy of worship.

From our series titled Revelation: Loyalty to the Lamb in the Land of Idols. In this series, we will look at the first five chapters of Revelation and learn what whole-hearted allegiance to the way of the Lamb looks like.

Topher Gardner is the founder of Black Gold Biochar, a regenerative builder, a lifelong bodyworker, and a former Division I football kicker who has actually walked the path most spiritual seekers only theorize about. He played at Michigan State under Nick Saban, spent three more years in pro leagues, and rebuilt the body football broke through Rolfing and yoga. That work took him to southern India, where he served as operations director of an ashram before the new age yoga world wore him out. He landed in Costa Rica, where for nearly two decades he built domes, taught regenerative agriculture, partook in fifty-plus ayahuasca journeys, studied true sidereal astrology with John Lamb Lash, and found the work that now anchors his life: biochar.The conversation moves the way Topher's mind moves, between cosmology and concrete, between Wilhelm Reich's writing on why we build idols just to slay them and the chemistry of why a 2,000-degree kiln in the Missouri Ozarks turns hardwood waste into the most stable carbon you can put in soil. We get into the suppressed Christ archetype hidden in Ophiuchus, why the distinction between self and other is the actual purpose of incarnation, what ten years inside the ayahuasca world taught him about variability over devotion, and why the carbon they trained us to fear is the same carbon our bodies and our land are starving for.

Message from Christine Waring on June 14, 2026

Fr. Mike points out the results of what happened to the kings who built idols, and what happened to the kings who tore them down. He encourages us to tear down the idols we've built up in our own lives by trusting God with our first fruits. Today's readings are 1 Kings 14, 2 Chronicles 14-15, and Song of Solomon 3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Luke 6 "Idols"

Idols have always been stumbling blocks in maintaining a personal relationship with God. Why? They can easily be put in a place where God should remain. How can we ensure that idols don't take complete residence in our lives and hearts. Rid and commit.We would love for you to join us in the Student Space at Eubank Baptist Church on Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m.! We also stream our services on Facebook (Impact Student Ministries) & YouTube (Eubank Baptist Church) for those unable to join us in person!

In this podcast we will be talking about 5 Things You Should Stop Wasting Your Money on from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a precursor of existentialism. So here are 5 Things You Should Stop Wasting Your Money on from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche - 01. The "Herd" Aesthetic02. "Anesthetics" for the Soul03. The "Last Man's" Comforts04. Ideological "Indulgences"05. Cheap Education We hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Nietzsche, helps you to stop wasting your money on these 5 things. Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy,  Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

What is wrong with idols if we know they are false? How do idols shape our identity? How do idols lead us to immorality?

What do you place your trust in when life gets shaky?In today's episode, Stephanie Alessi Muiña invites us to reflect on the things we lean on for comfort, security, and identity. We'll journey through the story of Exodus and discover how God lovingly reveals the unreliability of our modern “idols,” inviting us to build our lives on a stronger foundation. Together, we'll explore how life's tests can draw our hearts back to what truly matters.Join our community as we pause for prayer and devotion, grounding ourselves in the unchanging love and faithfulness of God.Tap HERE to send us a text!

"Idols and Counterfeit Gods" - Clay Stauffer - June 7, 2026 by Sermon

This is the final week of our series, Idols: What We Trust Most.

God calls his people to give him their highest loyalty and to guard against competing desires, affections, and ideologies.

From our series titled Revelation: Loyalty to the Lamb in the Land of Idols. In this series, we will look at the first five chapters of Revelation and learn what whole-hearted allegiance to the way of the Lamb looks like. Guest preacher: Mike Quint. Scripture reading: Revelation 2:12-17Additional readings: Numbers 22Exodus 16John 6:48-58Isaiah 62Recommended book: The Lost Letters of Pergamum by Bruce W.

Nante Japan's review of April and May 2026, featuring segments on Arashi's final concert, MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026 nominees, the accessibility of Japanese music, Kauan Okamoto's new career as a host, more STARTO music being made available digitally, and more.

A final concert can feel like a party, a farewell, and a time capsule all at once and ARASHI somehow makes it all work. We watch the We Are Arashi 2026 finale from Tokyo Dome and hit record immediately, because sitting with those feelings in silence was not an option. What follows is our honest, slightly scattered, very emotional recap of the night that closed a 26 plus year run and reshaped what a J-pop goodbye can look like.We talk through the moments that made the livestream feel huge: a Dome full of rainbow penlights, cinematic camera angles, drones, and those bold stage effects that swing from wonder to intensity in seconds. We also dig into the setlist pacing, from early high-energy throwbacks to the pair of emotional songs that detonated our tear ducts way too soon. If you've ever felt like one track can hold an entire era of your life, you'll know exactly why that section hit so hard.Then we slow down for the details that fans love: the outfit changes, the little bits of humor, the juniors on stage singing along, and the campfire-style staging that turned a stadium into something strangely intimate. Finally, we unpack the farewell speeches member by member, including the surprise moments when even the most composed voice starts to crack, and why the final song feels like a deliberate last gift.If you're watching replays, debating a Blu-ray purchase, or just trying to process the end of an era, this conversation is for you.

This week, First Baptist Church Williamstown Senior Pastor Tony Foreman gives this week’s message from Acts 17: 16-34 titled “The Idols We Make”.

The Bible says a lot about idols; does that have anything to do with us today? We may find that a study of idols impacts us much more than we thought...

From our series titled Revelation: Loyalty to the Lamb in the Land of Idols. In this series, we will look at the first five chapters of Revelation and learn what whole-hearted allegiance to the way of the Lamb looks like.

A city built on worship gets shaken when the gospel starts changing hearts and spending habits. We trace the explosive scene in Acts 19 where Demetrius the silversmith sparks a riot to protect Artemis, his trade, and an entire local economy. What looks like “religious outrage” quickly reveals something more familiar: when our ultimate source of security gets threatened, we get loud, defensive, and sometimes irrational.From there, we turn the mirror toward modern life. We talk about idolatry not as ancient statue worship, but as anything we elevate above God for meaning, identity, comfort, or hope. Money, career, success, relationships, family, pleasure, prestige, even “my version of spirituality” can become functional gods. We also dig into a practical diagnostic: anger. Not all anger is idolatry, but when losing something makes us go ballistic, it can expose what we are truly living for.The good news is that idols don't get the final word. We follow the passage to its surprising ending and then press into the gospel's power over every rival master: Jesus' authority, his cross, his resurrection, and his call to repentance. The path out isn't willpower alone, it's re-ordering love: loving Jesus more until lesser loves take their proper place.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K57Ics_C7Ug

Send us Fan MailI have been trying to use the Alexa all week, but it never answers me anymore. I figured it was broken. That was until my wife informed me there is a reason it won't answer my calls anymore - the kids changed it's name. I've been calling out the wrong name. Whose name are you calling on? If we call on any other name than the Lord, we will receive no reply, like that of the prophets of Baal. Idols, be they ancient or modern, cannot deliver. There is only one name that we can find deliverance through when we call upon it: the name of Jesus. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Icon Wars: Has the Church Been Bowing to Idols? How Rome and the East Smuggle Idolatry into Worship Through Sentiment and Bad Arguments “Stop kissing idols.” When God thundered from Sinai, He did not mumble. He did not leave room for clever loopholes. He said: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… thou shalt not bow down thyself to them.” Yet for centuries, Rome and the East have tried to explain away what God made plain. In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler step into the Icon Wars. Are icons, statues, relics, and painted images harmless aids to worship… or baptized idolatry dressed up in tradition? The guys break down the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic arguments for icon veneration, including appeals to the incarnation, church history, temple imagery, and “honor passing through the image.” They examine why modern Protestants, exhausted by shallow evangelicalism, are being lured toward ancient aesthetics and mystical sentimentality. They also ask the practical questions many Christians wrestle with: Is every image of Jesus sinful? What about children’s Bibles and movies like The Chosen or The Passion of the Christ? What do we do with relics like the Shroud of Turin? Does church history actually support icon veneration? Can Christians distinguish between honor and worship? This is not a debate about art alone. It is a battle over worship, authority, and whether God gets to decide how He is approached. Faithful men do not improve God’s worship. They obey it.

What's sitting on the throne of your heart—God, or the things of this world? In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares how many of our outward conflicts actually begin with inward battles, reminding us that pride, self-will, and divided loyalty can quietly pull us away from God. If you've been wrestling with pride, comparison, or competing priorities, this message will challenge you to lay down your idols and draw close to God again.

Family Culture Formation Culture is the shared set of beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and habits that shape how a family lives and relates. Beliefs → Behaviors → Habits → Culture BELIEFS • God is central in our home — Joshua 24:14–28 • Truth matters — Ephesians 4:20–25 • Deal with anger before sleep — Ephesians 4:26–27 • Forgiveness is essential — Colossians 3:12–14 BEHAVIORS Behaviors are the visible actions flowing from beliefs. • Praying Together — Philippians 4:6–7 • Speaking Encouragement — 1 Thessalonians 5:11 • Serving One Another — Galatians 5:13–15 • Listening With Patience — James 1:19–20 Repeated behaviors reinforce the spiritual and emotional atmosphere of the home. ` HABITS & CULTURE Habits are behaviors repeated consistently over time. These repeated rhythms form identity and family culture. Habit: Daily Scripture and Conversation About God • Deuteronomy 6:1–9 Healthy family culture develops when godly beliefs shape behaviors, repeated behaviors become habits, and habits form the atmosphere of the home.

A strange natural phenomenon sends Jase down a rabbit hole that leads him, Al, and Zach into a deep discussion about truth, love, obedience, and the meaning behind God's commands. Jase revisits an old Bible insight that reframes the Ten Commandments, and the guys connect the teachings of Jesus to creation, the golden calf, modern idols, and the struggle people have with uncomfortable truth, arguing that God's commands were never meant to be empty rules but a path to life.
