À propos de ce contenu audio

Seeking Approval is a Bible-based podcast that deals honestly with one of the quiet struggles many believers face: the desire to be accepted, affirmed, and approved by people rather than resting in the approval of God. In a world driven by opinions, applause, comparison, and constant noise, this podcast turns the listener back to Scripture for clarity, conviction, and peace.

Each episode opens the Word of God and addresses real-life pressures through sound biblical teaching, thoughtful reflection, and practical application. The focus is not on self-esteem, popularity, or performance, but on learning what it truly means to stand approved unto God. Topics include people-pleasing, identity in Christ, spiritual confidence, handling criticism, and living faithfully without chasing affirmation.

This podcast is designed for believers who want to grow deeper in their walk with the Lord, strengthen their spiritual foundation, and learn how to live with conviction in a culture that constantly demands compromise. The goal is simple: less striving for approval from man, and a greater confidence in the approval that comes from God alone.

    • Truth that Endures - Session Five - Scriptural Revelation
      Jan 26 2026

      Send us a text

      In this session, we examine how God makes Himself known and why revelation is essential to true faith. Creation, conscience, and the order of the world clearly testify that God exists and that man is accountable, yet these forms of general revelation are limited. They reveal God’s power and authority but cannot explain sin, grace, or salvation. Human attempts to reason their way to God through nature and philosophy ultimately fall short, because reason alone cannot lead a sinner to repentance or reveal the gospel of Christ.

      The study then turns to God’s special revelation, showing how the Lord has spoken clearly and intentionally through the prophets, through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the written Scriptures. This episode emphasizes why the Bible is not optional but necessary. Scripture alone reveals who God truly is, why Christ came, and how salvation is accomplished by grace through faith. Christianity is not a faith discovered by human wisdom, but a faith revealed by a speaking God, and every doctrine must rise from and return to His Word.

    • SA Ep28 - The Fear of Failure (Part 3 More than Conquerors)
      Jan 25 2026

      Episode Summary – Part 3: Romans 8, The Declaration of the Winner

      In Part 3 of the Fear of Failure mini series, we turn to one of the most triumphant chapters in all of Scripture, Romans 8. This episode proclaims that the believer’s victory is not something to be earned, but something already declared by God through Jesus Christ. From “no condemnation” to “no separation,” Romans 8 dismantles the fear of failure by reminding believers that justification, acceptance, and victory are settled realities in Christ. Paul’s unbroken chain of God’s purpose, the certainty of Christ’s intercession, and the assurance of God’s unchanging love all point to one undeniable truth: the child of God is more than a conqueror. This episode calls listeners to stop living under self condemnation and fear, and to embrace the conqueror identity God has already given them through Christ.

    • Truth that Endures (SA Ep27) - Session Four - Why Pray

      Episode Summary – Prayer and the Divine Will

      This episode carefully addresses one of the most personal and difficult tensions believers face: if God has eternally decreed all things, why should we pray, and does prayer truly matter. Rather than softening God’s sovereignty or offering shallow comfort, this session shows from Scripture that prayer is one of the ordained means by which God carries out His will in time. Prayer does not change who God is, nor does it alter His eternal decree, yet it is never wasted, meaningless, or symbolic. God has chosen to work through prayer, to distribute mercy, grace, strength, and help through the asking of His people. Passages that speak of God “repenting” in response to intercessory prayer are explained as changes in God’s dealings within time, not changes in His nature or purpose. James’s teaching that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” is unpacked to show that prayer avails much because God has decreed that it should, not because prayer bends God’s will. The episode also addresses the hardest real-life questions surrounding sickness, unanswered prayers, and death, showing that prayer is first an act of obedience and trust, not outcome control. Even when healing does not come, prayer anchors the soul, draws the believer near to God, and brings grace sufficient for the moment. In the end, this session reassures the listener that God remains sovereign, prayer remains powerful, and faith remains secure, even when God’s ways are beyond our understanding.
