Every generation builds altars. The only question is: to whom?
From Cain and Abel to Elijah on Mount Carmel, Scripture reminds us that worship is never neutral. We either bow before the Living God, or we sacrifice on altars that leave nothing but ashes. Our age is no different.
In this episode of Altars & Ashes, Robbie Stringer, Austin Tucker, and B.D. Fleming take a hard look at the false altars that surround us: entertainment, wealth, ambition, fear, comfort, pride, even good gifts like family when they are loved more than Christ. Each demands our time, our loyalty, our hearts. And each leaves us emptier than before.
What We Cover
* Biblical foundations: the battle of altars across redemptive history.
* What false altars look like today: from screens to syncretism, from globalism to careerism.
* The ashes they leave behind: wonder, courage, faith, and calling traded away.
* Field orders for households: practical steps to tear down idols and rebuild true worship at the table, in the church, and in daily obedience.
* Stories that strengthen us: Elijah on Carmel, Josiah’s reforms, the Reformers’ defiance, and the quiet courage of households today.
Why It Matters
Every act of worship is an act of war. Every prayer at your table is a blow against the idols of the age. Every song of praise is a crack in the enemy’s altar.
False altars cannot save. They cannot answer. They will fall. But Christ’s Kingdom cannot be shaken. His altar still stands.
Brothers and sisters, refuse the idols, rebuild the true altar, and keep the fire burning.
