The Sin Nobody Talks About in Church

from Sunday Ripple

Send us Fan MailIt's not the sin you'd confess on Sunday morning. Nobody puts it on a prayer request. But it might be the one doing the most damage.Complacency — the slow, comfortable drift away from God that happens when life is going fine — is one of the most dangerous places a person of faith can land. Not because life is hard. Because it isn't.In this episode, Rob digs into Amos 6:1 — "Woe to you who are complacent in Zion" — and makes the case that spiritual drift rarely looks like rebellion. It looks like a full calendar, a comfortable routine, and a faith that's still on the schedule but no longer in the driver's seat. He shares what complacency looked like in his own life when everything on the outside looked like ministry — and what it cost him on the inside.This episode is for the person who hasn't done anything dramatically wrong — and that's exactly what worries them.If your faith has felt more like maintenance than movement lately, this one's for you.Welcome to Sunday Ripple.
