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:

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 act...
Are your habits, thoughts, and influences shaping you into someone more like Jesus—or pulling you further away?In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob explores the quiet power of spiritual formation and how everyday choices are sculpting your soul. From scrolling habits to internal monologues, from the voices at your table to the lies you silently believe, you are always becoming someone. The question is: who?
We dive in...
Jesus didn’t just eat with outsiders—He welcomed them into grace. In this conclusion of our Sunday Ripple series on biblical hospitality, Pastor Matt McCarter and I explore how Jesus used shared meals to break social barriers, heal broken lives, and turn dinner tables into sacred spaces.

What happens when hospitality becomes holy?
In Part 2 of our Dinner with Outsiders conversation, Rob Anderson and Pastor Matt McCarter dive deeper into the radical way Jesus used meals to connect with the broken, the overlooked, and the unexpected. Picking up from last episode, this continuation explores how the table becomes a space of transformation—not because of what’s served, but because of who’s welcomed.
From hea...
Who’s invited to your table—and what does that say about your heart?
In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob Anderson sits down with Pastor Matt McCarter to explore how Jesus used meals to reach outsiders.

Have you ever felt a nudge in your spirit, a verse that wouldn’t leave you alone, or a friend’s words that hit a little too close to home?

We all want spiritual growth—but most of us want it fast. In this episode, we explore why slow, steady transformation is actually God’s design—and why that’s incredibly good news. From parables about seeds and vines to stories of unnoticed progress, we unpack what it means to trust the process when growth feels invisible.
You’ll hear personal reflections, biblical insight, and practical encouragement for staying faithf...
Ever try to hand off something that was clearly yours to deal with? Maybe it was actual trash (we’ve got a story for that), or maybe it was something deeper—like your own spiritual growth, emotional patterns, or the hard work of healing. In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we’re talking about the uncomfortable but freeing truth: you can’t outsource transformation.
Through Scripture, real-life moments, and a few painfully...
What if the thing you’ve been avoiding—the quiet, awkward moment of honest self-reflection—is the very place God wants to meet you? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we’re diving deep into the art of Spirit-led introspection. Not self-help. Not shame spirals. But surrender.
Anchored in Psalm 139, we explore the kind of honest prayer that opens the door for real transformation: “Search me, O God.” We’ll talk about the d...
Grace is one of the most beautiful and central truths of the gospel—and one of the most offensive. Why? Because grace isn’t fair. It’s not earned. And it often shows up where we least expect it… or where we think it shouldn’t.
In this episode, we explore why grace continues to stir tension in our lives and in the Church. From Jesus’ ministry to our own modern-day relationships, grace has always challenged pride, disrup...
What you think matters more than you realize. Your thoughts shape your beliefs, your behaviors, and even your relationship with God. In this episode, Rob explores why Scripture consistently emphasizes the renewal of the mind—and how transforming your thoughts can lead to a transformed life.
From identifying the influences that shape your thinking, to learning how to take every thought captive, to building spiritual hab...
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 resti...
In a world that’s constantly vying for your attention, how do you protect what matters most? In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Proverbs 4:23—“Above all else, guard your heart”—and what it means to live with spiritual attentiveness in an age of endless noise. From digital distractions to emotional clutter, we’ll unpack why your heart is the wellspring of your life and how to guard it with practical rhythms and ...
What happens when doing more starts to mean experiencing less?
In this special episode, Rob shares why Sunday Ripple is moving from two episodes a week to one—and why future episodes will focus on original, Spirit-led content instead of regular sermon recaps. It's not about stepping back—it's about digging deeper.
With a gentle mix of Scripture, personal reflection, and a few honest confessions about burned ba...
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 do...
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 ...
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...
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.

- Cain was consumed by anger and resentment.
- Balaam was led astray by greed and uncheck...
