The God of Entertainment
Unlike the other idols we've explored in this series, Entertainment is a subtle god. When we tune into something entertaining, we often shut off our brains, relax and enjoy the leisure activities we're engaging in. It's exactly this mindlessness that allows our Leisure to shape us so unconsciously. We're called to be mindful in our entertainment choices, to use even our leisure to help us love God and love each other better.
From Series: "American Gods"
When you think of idol, you think of a little statue. But idols can be anything that distracts or distances us from God. During Lent, we're going to look at some of the most popular idols in our culture. We'll see what they are, and how they pull us away from God. We'll also discover the better way God calls us to. Join us as we discover the identities of these American gods, and turn from them to follow the one and only true God.

Let’s face it: following Jesus in 21st Century America is pretty easy. Choosing to be a faithful picture of God for our friends, families and coworkers doesn’t cost us much. But we have brothers and sisters all over the globe who have given up everything for Jesus – their homes, their families, even their lives. What can we learn from their bold faith? How can their stories inspire us to follow Jesus more faithfully? Join us in October and November as we ask, What’s keeping me from a BOLD life?
