We’ve turned self-love into an altar of approval—offering sacrifice after sacrifice, and yet never satisfied. Our culture teaches us to dress for attention, live for validation, and measure worth by how others respond. But that altar never gives back. God calls us to freedom, not bondage. The cross was already enough.
In this episode, we confront the thin line between self-respect and self-idolatry, exposing how lust, appearance, and the craving for approval steal real love. True self-love doesn’t bow to culture or insecurity—it honors God, guards covenant, and brings freedom. So the question is: is it self-love, or self-idolatry?
