In this episode, I share how my anxious excitement over a tech release made me pause and realize I was chasing hope the way the Israelites once did with a golden calf. We explore idolatry in the Bible, how idols acted as “operating systems of reality,” and why waiting on God can feel like a test that stirs temptation. Along the way, I dive into the origins of “the enemy” in Scripture, the difference between tests and temptations, and why only God is worth our ultimate trust.
