Emotional Idolatry (With The Perrys Podcast Tour)

You know the word ‘emotional’ – we’ve all got feelings – and you’ve heard the term ‘idolatry.’ But it’s rare that we hear the two words as a phrase together. Emotions are not wrong – having them is evidence that we’re created in the image of God. But if we’re not careful, emotions can dictate our world and realities instead of God’s truth.

This week’s episode is a segment from the With The Perrys 2024 podcast tour. The NYC audience was polled for a topic they wanted to hear about and “emotional idolatry” was their pick. We’ve brought this conversation to the podcast feed for everyone to enjoy.

I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! 🛐🛐🛐

Emotional idolatry: Putting your feelings and emotions above God

“Jealousy is poison for relationships. When you’re an envious or jealous person, you are simultaneously loving someone and hating someone at the same time.”

[bububear]

6:35 “sitting in my anger comforts me more than the Lord” SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

[_risingphoenix]

"If Jesus is on the boat sleeping, I should be sleeping too!" What a word!!!! Be still my soul..

[kaylasong]

“We’re uncomfortable with conflict. That’s one of the reasons we don’t have peace around the people we’re around.” My goodness! This is me!!!!

[bebegaray]

I feel like this is one of those videos you're meant to watch over and over again, cause there's just goodness after goodness that can be taken in, every minute.

“There is something you learn about God when you love difficult people through hardship”. It is so true! I learned what unconditional love from God the father is by becoming a mother and I learned about Jesus Christ compassion, selflessness and sacrifice by being a wife to someone who it appears never loved me and is incapable of it currently. Thank God for Jesus.

I'm continually amazed at not only your spiritual maturity, but the way you communicate with each other. While you are sharing doctrinal truth, you are modeling a godly marriage relationship. May He always be the head of your marriage and ministry and may we have open ears to hear any truth He's sharing through you. To God be the glory!

"God isn't being less good to me, but He's deciding how He wants to get His own glory."---- Good God Almighty

having a lot of marriage problems right now and hearing Jackie say, "You're made in the image of God, so you do have a justice orientation. That was an injustice toward you, your anger was a fair and legitimate response to somebody sinning against you. The problem came when you wanted to vindicate yourself instead of entrusting yourself to the Lord."
That hit me right in the chest. "God's justice doesn't move at the pace that we want"

[KelahCash]

"Christianity is set up in such a way where God is often putting us in positions to look weak even though we're being strong." Whheeewww 🔥😩😭🙌🏽
YES! This was so good. Cause we really do hate being and seeming weak even though we're meant to admit/see we're weak and need the Lord. Jesus help me to be weak.

[DreaKay]

"God's justice doesn't move at the pace we want him to." MY GOD!

[tissaspeight]

Saying, "Sorry" is not true repentance...but changed behavior.

[maryg.]

24:59 "[Jesus] didn't only save us, He's saving us." ✨

[His-Dew]

We are called to obey the Lord regardless of emotions. This in joy and in tribulation, in excitement and in fear.

[GloryyEsua]

This video, It spoke to me in so many ways
I would listen over and over again because it's too good. Just too good!
God bless you The Perry's!❤

[irieannasesma]

I’m so grateful for the revelation God gave you both in this topic. Understanding that even my emotions can become an idol if I coddle them, and not surrender them to God is life changing 🙌🏼
Thank you Jackie and Preston 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[NasTheeArtist]

Great. Now I’m crying once they got to the “Our God is able to sympathize with us” I still fight to hold space for my own emotions

[karotgold]

"God can give us NEW emotions"
