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.

How to Stand Again Part 1 Summary
In this first episode of How to Stand Again, we begin carefully. Before we diagnose anything, we open the Word of God and listen to Psalm 42, where a faithful worshiper finds himself cast down and disquieted, unable to understand why his soul feels so heavy. We acknowledge that spiritual depression is not imaginary, not always sinful, and not always simple. We walk through clinical and spiritual indicators from mild discouragement to severe crisis, speaking plainly but compassionately. We address trauma and PTSD as real experiences that affect both body and soul, and we show how Scripture recognizes deep emotional anguish without dismissing it. This episode is not about magnifying darkness, but about shining light into it. We are not studying sorrow for its own sake. We are learning to recognize where we are so that we can begin moving toward hope. Like the psalmist, we may not yet understand why we feel cast down, but we can still say, “Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him.” This series is not about how deep the valley is. It is about how faithful the Shepherd is.
