The Idol of Being Liked

We live in a culture obsessed with approval—chasing likes, applause, and affirmation as if they can fill the God-shaped hole in our souls. But here’s the hard truth: when being liked becomes your highest goal, Jesus will always offend you. In this episode, we rip the mask off one of the church’s most subtle idols—the craving to be accepted at all costs. We’ll talk about why this idol is so dangerous, how it keeps us from true discipleship, and what freedom looks like when you stop bowing to popularity and start following Christ with a holy defiance.

This isn’t a “feel-good” episode—it’s a call to examine your heart. Are you living for the crowd, or for the Cross?
