The 3 Idols Christian Men Worship Without Realizing It
Dec 1600:32:22Tap to summarizeIn this powerful episode, Erik Cabral exposes the three idols quietly destroying Christian men from the inside: lust, money, and ego. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and years of spiritual wrestling, Erik unpacks the silent battles men face and the practical steps every believer can take to break free.This is not just another conversation about sin. It’s a call to spiritual warfare, biblical discipline, and rediscovering identity in Christ.What Erik Covers in This Episode• Lust: Why so many Christian men are silently struggling with pornography… and how Scripture (Matthew 5:28 and 1 Corinthians 6:18-20) shines a light on the true spiritual cost.• Money: How wealth becomes a hidden idol in the lives of believers, how Erik fell into money-driven identity, and what the Bible teaches about true contentment (1 Timothy 6:6-10).• Ego: Why men chase platforms, status, and validation… and how pride subtly becomes self-worship. Erik shares his own journey of ego, career success, insecurity, and surrendering his “platform” to God’s Kingdom.This episode challenges Christian men to examine their hearts honestly and invites them into a deeper walk with Christ… free from the idols that steal peace, purity, and purpose.Biblical Tools to Fight BackErik gives simple, actionable steps to break the cycle of idolatry:• Lust: Weekly accountability + Scripture memorization• Money: Giving, serving, and reordering priorities toward Kingdom impact• Ego: Anonymous acts of service that starve pride and strengthen humilityWhy This MattersMost Christian men battle these struggles alone.
