In this week's episode Brent reviews and expounds on a component of his sermon from 9/5 about our tendency to put people on pedestals. He mentions 7 signs that you've put someone on a pedestal, as well as what to do once you've figured out that you've put someone on a pedestal in your life.

How can you tell if you have put someone on a pedestal:

1. You follow them uncritically
2. You overlook real faults of theirs 
3. You let them pressure you, even to the violating of your values and convictions
4. You are dependent on their attention, affection, or affirmation
5. You own their problems
6. You are afraid of them not needing you
7. You fret if they don't talk to you

What to do if you have put someone on a pedestal

1. Recognize the one word in all 7 identifiers (you).
2. Be humble AND courageous
3. Have a mature conversation with them (if they don't like you attempting to remove them from the pedestal, it is evidence to you that they are jacked up)
4. Refuse to allow #2 & #3 happen again
5. Be your own person before the Lord
