This week at Veritas, we look at the pull of approval—the likes, affirmations, and attention we crave—and how easily it traps us. In Acts 5, the apostles face the loss of people’s approval but choose obedience to God instead.

Through their story, we see that true joy and satisfaction don’t come from gaining more approval but from giving our lives away for Christ. The good life isn’t found in being liked—it’s found in living for the One who already loves and approves of us completely.
