## Resource

In this episode of the Armed and Anointed Podcast, Ashley discussed the topic of idolatry and shared her personal journey of identifying and overcoming idols in her life. She explained that idols are anything placed above God, whether external objects or internal desires, and shared two specific examples from her own experience: her network marketing business and her Instagram following. Ashley described how God "apprehend" her by asking her to surrender these things, which initially felt difficult but ultimately led to a deeper relationship with God. She emphasized the importance of having the right heart posture and committing one's work to the Lord, sharing biblical verses that support this concept. The episode concluded with a call to action for listeners to examine their own lives and identify any areas where idols might be present, encouraging them to surrender those areas to God.
