​Headline: Ancient Mistakes or Modern Trends? 🧐

​Are we trading a relationship for a transaction? Today, the phrase "I'm spiritual, but not religious" is everywhere. From checking horoscopes to seeking healing in crystals, many are looking for purpose—but are we just repeating the ancient mistakes of King Manasseh?

​In our latest episode, "Manasseh's Idolatry: Discerning Today's Spiritual Lures," we dive into 2 Kings 21 to see how a King’s great rebellion inside the Lord’s Temple mirrors the spiritual "lures" we face today.

​In this episode, we discuss:

​The Heart of the Matter: Why we choose the search for control over the one true God.

​Substitute vs. Reality: Comparing the "good vibes" of crystals to the personal, comforting presence of the Holy Spirit.

​A Practical Discernment Kit: Learning to test if a practice points you toward or away from God.

​Building Better Habits: Replacing the pull of the world with simple, doable spiritual habits like prayer and listening.

​Don't settle for a substitute when you can have the real thing. Listen now and discover your true identity as a beloved child of God.
