What motivates or distracts you from following Christ? Motherhood is a blessing, but can also reveal those idols of our hearts that distract our devotion to Christ. Christina Fox joins Karen Hodge to talk about replacing the idols of our hearts with a greater love for Christ.
Discussion Questions:
- What is the definition of idolatry?
- What are some things we see other women add to their worship of God?
- What is something that is good in your life that you might make ultimate and be tempted to worship?
- Did any of the idols Christina mentioned resonate with you? If so, which ones?
