DIY Christianity: Cool Project, Terrible Outcome

Send us Fan MailWhy do we resist authority—even when we know it’s good for us? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob explores the hidden ways independence shows up in our lives, why it’s so costly, and how submitting to godly authority actually opens the door to freedom and grace.Drawing from 1 Samuel 15, 1 Peter 5, and Jesus’ words in John 15, we’ll talk about the three foundations of independence, the disguises we hide behind, and the sobering path of ignorance, isolation, and irrelevance. But we’ll also look at the better way: a life of dependence on Christ, under spiritual authority, in fellowship with others, and living out our mission to lead and serve.Whether you’ve been burned by bad leadership or just don’t like anyone telling you what to do, this conversation is for you. Dependence isn’t weakness—it’s faith. And it might just be the key to unlocking the abundant life God has promised.Support the show🙏 Thanks for listening to Sunday Ripple!🌐 Visit the website for blog posts, discussion questions, and more:👉 www.sundayripple.com📱 Follow along for updates, behind-the-scenes, and encouragement:➡️ Facebook: facebook.com/sundayripple➡️ Instagram: @thesundayrippleIf this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend—and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a ripple.Small ripples can make a big impact—go make yours.
