Chasing Carrots: Approval and Fame
Episode 407
Sunday, 25 October, 2026

It’s pretty human to do things in an effort to get other people to like you, approve of you, or to become well known. Jesus challenges us to instead seek God’s approval. When we chase the approval of people, we end up in an impossible rat race, but when we chase the approval of God, we can find rest and peace. Fame and approval are really the same root idol wearing two outfits—fame is approval at scale, approval is fame within your small circle. Both are about deriving identity from what others think rather than from God. Passages: Matthew 6:24, Matthew 6:1-6, Galatians 1:10 Speaker: David Wyman
