Über diesen Titel

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.

  • Doctrine that Divides, Truth that Endures (SA Ep25) - Session Three - God's Decree and Providence
    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode, we turn from who God is to how God governs, examining the biblical doctrines of God’s decree and providence. Scripture reveals a God who is not reacting to history but ruling over it, eternally purposing all things and actively sustaining, directing, and governing every moment in time. We explore how God works through real human choices and secondary causes without surrendering His sovereignty, and how He remains holy and righteous without being the author of sin. From Joseph’s suffering to the cross of Christ, this episode shows how God’s purposes stand even in a broken world, offering believers stability, confidence, and worship in the knowledge that nothing falls outside the wise and sovereign hand of God.

  • SA Ep24 - The Fear of Failure (Part 1 Failure Is Not Our Enemy)

    Part 1: When Failure Stops Being the Enemy

    In this opening episode of the Fear of Failure mini series, we confront one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian life: failure. Scripture never presents failure as final, shameful, or disqualifying. Instead, it reveals failure as one of God’s most effective classrooms for growth, humility, and dependence on grace. Drawing from biblical examples and personal experience, this episode challenges the lie that failure disappoints God or ends usefulness. From Moses to Peter to Paul, God has always worked through imperfect people who learned to rise again by faith. This session lays the foundation for the series by showing that failure is inevitable in a fallen world, but fear of failure is not. Growth begins when believers stop fearing the fall and start trusting the grace that meets them there.

  • Truth that Endures Ep2 (SA Ep23) - Immutability and Impassability (NOTICE - THEOLOGICAL STUDY MINI SERIES)

    A God Who Does Not Change and Cannot Be Shaken
    God’s Immutability and Impassibility

    If God could change, His promises could fail. If God could be emotionally wounded, His sovereignty would weaken. In this episode, we examine two often misunderstood attributes of God: His immutability and His impassibility. Scripture reveals a God who does not shift, adjust, or evolve, and who is not subject to emotional turmoil or suffering as creatures are. Far from making God distant, these truths secure our confidence in Him. God’s love is not fragile, His mercy is not reactive, and His purposes are never in danger. This episode calls us to rest in a God whose nature is steady, whose will is settled, and whose faithfulness never wavers.
