The lowLIFE Interviews: Smashing Modern Day Idols w/ Jake Doberenz (Audio Only)

In this transformative episode of The lowLIFE Show, Host DL the lowLIFE and Jake Doberenz get together for a discussion about how pride and a desire for control lead to creating idols; and how the smashing of them comes from surrender.

Jake shares how a desire to know Jesus more, led to a mission that would have him wanting nothing more than to point everyone back to our Savior.  DL and Jake go on a deep dive giving practical advice and clear signs to look for so you can avoid making idols of your own.

This episode is a reminder that control belongs to The Lord and how, without surrender, we are not truly His.

Key Topics:

• Defining Idols
• How valuing anything over God is idolatry
• The importance of Jesus's words, specifically, within The Bible
• Encountering Jesus always leads to a desire for more encounters

Jake is a podcaster, an author and the owner of Theophany Media.
