We expand on Sunday’s message and ask a challenging question: What are we bowing down to without even realizing it? Small compromises can grow into powerful idols that shape our hearts, our homes, and even future generations. From relationships and success to sports, politics, and cultural influences, we examine the modern idols competing for our worship—and what it looks like to tear them down and put God back on the throne of our hearts.
QUESTIONS
1. What is quietly competing with God for first place in your heart?
2. Where have you allowed a small compromise to grow into something more powerful?
3. What practical step can you take this week to tear down an idol and put God back at the center?

What is The Overflow?
Welcome to The Overflow—the bonus round of faith and real-life conversation with Brandon and Susan Thomas. Every week, they unpack the powerful insights, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal reflections that didn’t quite fit into Sunday’s sermon.
This is where the conversation gets practical, honest, and a little bit unscripted. Whether it's an encouraging word, a deeper dive into Scripture, or a hilarious moment from their week, Brandon and Susan bring fresh perspective and spiritual fuel to keep you going.
It’s real talk, fresh takes, and full hearts.
These are the conversations too good to cut and too real to miss.
