Are you stuck in the cycle of trying to “earn” God’s approval?

This episode explores why so many of us—consciously or not—feel like we have to hustle for God’s love. From spiritual performance traps and burnout to the quiet shame that whispers “not enough,” we dive deep into why resting in God’s love feels so hard… and how to start receiving it like the gift it is.

Rob unpacks:

• The difference between working for love vs. working from love
• What the parable of the Prodigal Son really teaches us about the heart of the Father
• Why performance culture sneaks into our spiritual lives
• How silence, truth-telling, and community help us practice receiving love
• The three most common lies that keep us from resting in grace

If you’ve ever felt like God’s love had fine print, this one’s for you.

❤️ Let this be the reminder you need: You are already loved. No résumé required.

What if your idea of humility is all wrong?

In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian life: humility. Too often, we equate humility with insecurity, thinking that tearing ourselves down somehow makes us more Christlike. But true, biblical humility isn’t about self-loathing—it’s about seeing yourself clearly in light of who God is.

We’ll explore what the Bible actually says about humility (spoiler: it has nothing to do with staying small), why false humility can be just as dangerous as pride, and how to walk in humble confidence rooted in your identity in Christ. You’ll also hear personal stories, practical insights, and everyday examples of what humility looks like in real life.

Whether you’ve ever struggled to accept a compliment, felt “unqualified” to serve, or just want to grow in Christlike character, this conversation is for you.

🟢 Topics Covered:

• The difference between false humility and true humility
• Why both pride and insecurity are forms of self-focus
• What Scripture teaches about identity, service, and spiritual confidence
• How to walk humbly without shrinking back

Listen now and learn why humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself—it’s about thinking of yourself less.
