Summary

On this episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I chatted with Emily Jensen about idols of the heart. We discuss everything from our personal struggles with idolatry to practical ways we can move forward in repentance after seeing our sin. If you know Emily, it goes without saying that we talked about resting in the grace of the Gospel. She said, “It’s always important to remember with idolatry like, this isn’t something that we do on our own. This is something God did on our behalf. That causes us to just be humble and grateful and in awe of God. That’s a key thing. When we are in awe of God and when we are grateful for what he has done, it makes us want to worship Him more and it helps us deal with our idol problem.” EMILY’S RESOURCES X Ray Questions by David Powleson Knowing the Bible so that we can counsel our hearts with it Praying in accordance with God’s will Community: surrounding ourselves with people who are going to encourage us to believe the truth How People Change by Paul David Tripp New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp Awe by Paul David Tripp Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul David Tripp Parenting by Paul David Tripp A Gospel Primer by Milton Vincent EMILY’S SIMPLE JOYS Magic Merlin Sleep Suit Hymns on Youtube like He will Hold Me Fast, How Firm a Foundation, Come Ye Sinners, Not in Me, I Asked the Lord Wood burning fires (indoor) CONNECT WITH EMILY Website Facebook Instagram Risen Motherhood Instagram Journeywomen comes alongside women to move them to know and love God and his Word, to find hope in the gospel, and to invest deeply in their local churches as they go out on mission for the glory of God.

0:47.8	This is something that God did on our behalf and that causes us to just be humble and grateful
0:55.0	and in awe of God. And I think it's like that's a key thing like when we are in awe of God and we are

1:36.7	conversation as helpful as I did. I'm so excited to discuss this topic with you because I've been seeing
1:45.9	some of the old kind of idols that I've wrestled with in other seasons of life because I'm kind of
1:52.8	still a new mom. I have a three year old and a one year old just rearing their ugly heads in
1:58.1	forms that I haven't recognized until you know they're like in my face. So before we get any
