What happens when the odds are stacked against you—and God shows up anyway?

In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob shares a surprising story from small-town Homer, Alaska, where his son took a driving test everyone said he’d fail… and passed on the first try. What starts as a funny local legend turns into a powerful reminder that God doesn’t play by statistics. His grace doesn’t check the odds—it breaks them.

Through real-life reflection and biblical insight, Rob explores how faith often looks foolish, why grace can’t be earned, and how God delights in rewriting reputations and restoring hope in the most unlikely places. Whether you’re facing a situation that feels impossible or just need a reminder that God still surprises us, this episode will renew your confidence in His timing, mercy, and love.

Listen in to discover:

• Why God’s grace often shows up when we least expect it
• What the Bible teaches about impossible odds and divine surprises
• How faith and obedience open doors statistics can’t predict
• Why your story isn’t defined by reputation, but by redemption

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can really change your story—this one’s for you.

Why 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.

We live in a world where politics often feels like the answer to everything—but the truth is, no election, law, or leader can bring the hope and transformation our hearts are longing for. In this episode, Rob returns to the original roots of Sunday Ripple with a sermon recap built on Pastor Matt’s recent message, unpacking why our ultimate allegiance belongs to Jesus alone.

Together we’ll explore:

• Why political victories are always temporary.
• How to trade news-cycle noise for nourishment in God’s Word.
• Why disciple-making—not elections—shapes the future.
• How real change begins in our own hearts before it ever reaches the halls of power.

If you’re hopeful, discouraged, or just exhausted by the constant political churn, this episode invites you to lift your eyes higher. Because there is only one throne that matters—and the One seated on it isn’t up for reelection.
