God’s approval and affirmation is an important and often overlooked aspects of our spiritual lives. We are all created in the image of God, and as such, we are all worthy of his approval and affirmation. Unfortunately, many of us have grown up without the approval and affirmation of a father figure, leaving us feeling unworthy and undeserving of such love and attention. This feeling of being overlooked and undervalued can be difficult to overcome, but God’s approval and affirmation can help us to feel worthy and accepted.

The Bible speaks of Jesus’ baptism in Matthew 3:17, which reads, “Suddenly there came a voice from heaven saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” This passage speaks of God’s approval and affirmation of Jesus, and is a reminder that we too are worthy of such love and acceptance. The NLT translation of this passage reads, “This is my dearly loved son, in whom brings me great joy.” The amplified version reads, “My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and I’m delighted.” These translations speak of the pleasure, gratification, satisfaction, and delight that God feels for us.

In the podcast, Tim talks about his own upbringing, which included a stepfather who was addicted to heroin and a biological father who was in prison most of his life. He speaks of the lack of encouragement, support, and affirmation he received from his father figures, and how it was not until later in life that he began to be mentored and supported by someone else. This is a reminder of how important it is to receive affirmation and understanding from those around us, especially from those in authority.

Unfortunately, many Christian men struggle to believe that they have good standing with God. This is often due to feelings of guilt and shame, and the belief that God’s love and approval are directly correlated to our behavior. We may feel like an angel one minute and the devil the next, and this can lead to a roller coaster of emotions. It is important to remember that God’s love and approval are not directly correlated to our behavior. We are loved and accepted even if we fall short.

Main points:

God approves and affirms us.

Experiential knowledge of Jesus

Experiential knowledge of Jesus is one of the most powerful ways to get to know Him. It is the knowledge that comes from personal experiences and interactions with Jesus. Experiential knowledge of Jesus is not just about reading the Bible and memorizing scripture, but it is about having a face-to-face encounter with Jesus and understanding His heart. 

Jake Roseboom, the guest on the podcast, experienced this firsthand. He was raised in a Christian home, went to a private Christian school, and had a lot of family members who were involved in gospel music. Despite this, he never had a real encounter with Jesus until he went to jail for six months. It was during this time that he had a powerful encounter with the living God that changed him forever. 

After his experience, Jake prayed that everyone would have a face-to-face encounter with Jesus. He knew that once you meet him and understand his heart and how much he loves us, there is no going back. Experiential knowledge of Jesus is something that cannot be taught, but rather something that must be experienced. 

Prior to his encounter with Jesus, Jake was a rebel and did terrible things. He was a delinquent and did not understand who he was. After his encounter, he found peace and knew that the only way to get it was to go to the pastor and tell him he wanted to be saved. After saying the sinner's prayer, he felt a peace come over him that he had never felt before.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.

He made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
