What’s this thing all about?
I’m Jake Doberenz, a theological thinker who writes and podcasts to figure out how Christians can live the lives God has designed us to live. To accomplish this, I’ll use theology, story, psychology, sociology, and plenty of humor on a quest to foster Christians who place our allegiance in Christ alone.
Smashing Idols Newsletter (Fridays): A thought-provoking, often humorous look at how modern idols like control, achievement, and power pull us away from Christ. Through personal stories, cultural insights, and biblical wisdom, each issue helps readers refocus on Jesus alone.
Smashing Idols Podcast (Tuesdays): Hosted by Jake Doberenz, this podcast features interviews with authors, pastors, and activists on how modern distractions shape our faith. Each episode explores biblical wisdom and cultural trends to help believers reject false allegiances and live fully devoted to Christ.
