Ep 189: The Idols We Don't Recognize: Disordered Attachments and Hearing God's Voice | with Kylie Hein

Most of us could name our vices in five seconds. What we can't name as easily are the things we've quietly built our days around: the glass of wine at 5:30, the scroll before bed, the snack that takes the edge off, the productivity that makes us feel worth something. They don't look like idols. They look like rest. In this episode, I welcome back Kylie Hein, Catholic coach, spiritual director, and host of the Persistence in Prayer podcast, to talk about disordered attachments. We talk about how the ordinary ones crowd out God's voice, counterfeit His peace, and keep us settling for comfort when He's calling us to holiness. In this episode: - What a disordered attachment is, and where enjoying a good thing crosses into needing it - Why wine, food, scrolling, and busyness are the attachments we rarely question - How attachments create interior noise that makes God harder to hear - The difference between God stretching you for growth and the enemy pulling you apart - Why letting go often feels worse before it feels better, and how to read that discomfort - Why detachment isn't white-knuckled willpower - A simple prayer practice and Examen question to help you notice where your heart is attached Connect with Kylie: - Website: kyliemhein.com - Podcast: Persistence in Prayer Drop us a Question or Comment  I just rebuilt my Sacred Sobriety Kickstart — new content, new structure, all built on the four pillars I actually coach from.
