Bought + Beloved with Kirby Kelly
Kirby KellyWhen Success Becomes an Idol ft. Andrew Root
June 3, 2026 ● 34 minShare this episode
In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Root to talk about his book Baal and the Gods of More and how the modern church can subtly drift into idolizing success, growth, and productivity over faithfulness to God. We unpack how ancient idolatry still shows up today, not in statues, but in our obsession with “more” and what it looks like to return to a Gospel-centered life and ministry. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, produce, or prove yourself, even in your faith, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, refocus, and rediscover what it truly means to follow Jesus!

A Prayer to Remember You Are Truly Never Alone - Your Daily Prayer - November 12
Nothing is hidden from His sight because He knows all things; He knows hearts and our deepest needs, but when we share our burdens and cares with Him, we are reminding our soul of the goodness and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.
