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:

• The difference between working for love vs. working from love
• What the parable of the Prodigal Son really teaches us about the heart of the Father
• Why performance culture sneaks into our spiritual lives
• How silence, truth-telling, and community help us practice receiving love
• The three most common lies that keep us from resting in grace

If you’ve ever felt like God’s love had fine print, this one’s for you.

❤️ Let this be the reminder you need: You are already loved. No résumé required.
