Have you ever realized just how much someone’s opinion means to you—maybe more than it should? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob shares a vulnerable moment sparked by podcast feedback from his brother—feedback that unexpectedly exposed a long-standing hunger for approval.

From subtle people-pleasing to full-on identity crisis mode, Rob unpacks what the Bible says about living for the approval of others versus resting in the approval of God. With a mix of heartfelt storytelling, scriptural truth, and just the right amount of humor, this episode explores:

• The hidden traps of approval addiction
• Why encouragement is a gift (not a god)
• How to receive affirmation without needing it
• What it really means to live for God’s “Well done”
• And some practical, slightly sassy calls to action

If you've ever felt like your worth is on the line every time you hit "post" or share your work with someone important, this one’s for you.

Because small ripples don’t need big applause—they just need a faithful heart.

It’s easy to hold a grudge. It’s harder to own our part in the mess. In this episode, we dive into the short but powerful letter of Philemon—a masterclass in reconciliation, humility, and gospel transformation. Onesimus ran. Philemon was wronged. Paul stood in the middle and pointed them both to Jesus.

We’ll explore the “triangle of drama” we often fall into, why judgment is easier than grace, and how reconciliation doesn’t begin with confrontation—it begins with heart transformation. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with some uncomfortable truths, and look at how God invites us to do the hard work of healing our relationships.

If you’ve ever struggled to forgive, avoided a hard conversation, or secretly hoped someone else would just “go first”… this one’s for you.

Let’s stop playing judge and start living like reconciled people.

In a culture obsessed with visibility, it’s easy to wonder if unseen faithfulness really matters. But in this episode, we explore why some of the most powerful moments in our walk with Jesus happen off-stage—when no one else is watching.

From the quiet routines of prayer and Scripture, to the hard decisions to obey in secret, we look at how hidden obedience forms deep roots of character and spiritual strength. Through the story of Joseph, the words of Jesus in Matthew 6, and everyday examples of quiet faith, we’ll uncover the deep work God does in seasons of obscurity.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your faith, or wondered if your small, daily yeses to God make a difference—this episode is for you.

Spiritual pride doesn’t always shout—it whispers. It wears the mask of maturity, hides behind theology, and slips into our lives disguised as devotion. But underneath? It fractures relationships, breeds judgment, and erodes the very fabric of Christian community.

In this episode, we unpack the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18 and explore the subtle yet devastating effects of self-righteousness. We’ll talk about how pride disguises itself, the damage it does to hearts and churches, and how we can learn to use truth as a mirror instead of a weapon. And most importantly, we’ll cast a vision for what it looks like to create grace-filled spaces where people can be real, repentant, and received.

Whether you’ve struggled with pride, been hurt by it, or just want to build something better—this one’s for you.

In this powerful episode, we explore one of the most urgent and overlooked verses in the Bible—Jude 11. Jude issues three sobering warnings to believers by pointing to the lives of Cain, Balaam, and Korah—three men whose choices led to spiritual downfall and destruction.

Each of their stories reveals a unique trap still common today

• Cain was consumed by anger and resentment.
• Balaam was led astray by greed and unchecked desire.
• Korah rebelled against God’s order out of pride and self-promotion.

Together, these lives form a cautionary tale for anyone trying to follow Jesus in a world that pulls us in every direction. But Jude doesn’t just warn us—he calls us to contend earnestly for the faith. This episode is a challenge to examine our hearts, surrender our struggles, and cling more tightly to Christ.

Whether you're wrestling with anger, appetite, or pride—this conversation will help you recognize the battle and point you back to the One who holds you steady.
