Seeking Approval Podcast
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.

Optimism vs Pessimism – Part Two looks to Scripture for real-life examples of how God’s people handled the tension between hope and fear. This episode explores men and women who swung between emotional extremes, such as Elijah, David, and Peter, showing that wavering is part of spiritual growth, not a sign of failure. It also highlights believers like Joseph, Nehemiah, and Hannah, whose faith stayed anchored through patience, preparation, and trust in God’s timing. Together, these biblical lives remind us that balance is learned over time by bringing our thoughts under God’s truth. The episode encourages listeners to move away from extremes and toward steady, mature faith rooted in Scripture rather than circumstances.
