Welcome to the first episode of The Table series on Sunday Ripple! In this heartfelt conversation, host Rob Anderson is joined by Pastor Matt McCarter to explore the radically inclusive hospitality of Jesus—and what it looks like to live that out today.

From childhood memories around kitchen tables to unexpected meals with strangers, Rob and Matt share honest stories that highlight how the table can become a sacred space for connection, healing, and belonging. Together, they challenge us to look at who’s missing from our lives and how extending a simple invitation can reflect the heart of God.

Whether you’re a Christian hoping to live more intentionally, a ministry leader building community, or someone craving deeper relationships, this episode lays a rich foundation for reclaiming the table as a place where the kingdom of God breaks in.

In this episode:
– The difference between hospitality and entertaining
– Stories of meals that became ministry moments
– How to welcome outsiders without needing perfect conditions
– The uncomfortable truth about who we often exclude
– A simple challenge that could change someone’s life (including yours)

We all want spiritual growth—but most of us want it fast. In this episode, we explore why slow, steady transformation is actually God’s design—and why that’s incredibly good news. From parables about seeds and vines to stories of unnoticed progress, we unpack what it means to trust the process when growth feels invisible.

You’ll hear personal reflections, biblical insight, and practical encouragement for staying faithful even when it feels like nothing’s changing. Because in God’s Kingdom, slow doesn’t mean stuck—it means rooted.

Whether you're just getting started or feeling frustrated by your pace, this episode will help you breathe deeper, walk slower, and remember: you're not behind. You're becoming.

Ever try to hand off something that was clearly yours to deal with? Maybe it was actual trash (we’ve got a story for that), or maybe it was something deeper—like your own spiritual growth, emotional patterns, or the hard work of healing. In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we’re talking about the uncomfortable but freeing truth: you can’t outsource transformation.

Through Scripture, real-life moments, and a few painfully honest stories, Rob unpacks what it means to carry your own load—without burning out or becoming everyone’s savior. You’ll hear about a barista caught in a weird trash handoff, a parenting wake-up call, the cost of misassigned responsibility, and the quiet power of confession that actually changes you.

If you’re tired of blame-shifting, spiritual plateaus, or wondering why nothing's changing—this one’s for you.

Because maturity doesn’t start with perfection. It starts when you stop saying, “This isn’t mine,” and start saying, “Okay, Lord—let’s deal with this.”

What if the thing you’ve been avoiding—the quiet, awkward moment of honest self-reflection—is the very place God wants to meet you? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we’re diving deep into the art of Spirit-led introspection. Not self-help. Not shame spirals. But surrender.

Anchored in Psalm 139, we explore the kind of honest prayer that opens the door for real transformation: “Search me, O God.” We’ll talk about the difference between guilt and conviction, why comfort zones make great coffins, and how to create daily rhythms of self-evaluation that lead to growth, not burnout. Rob shares personal stories, biblical insight, and practical steps to help you stop managing your image and start living from a place of freedom.

If you’re tired of surface-level faith and ready for something deeper, this one’s for you.

Grace is one of the most beautiful and central truths of the gospel—and one of the most offensive. Why? Because grace isn’t fair. It’s not earned. And it often shows up where we least expect it… or where we think it shouldn’t.

In this episode, we explore why grace continues to stir tension in our lives and in the Church. From Jesus’ ministry to our own modern-day relationships, grace has always challenged pride, disrupted expectations, and invited us into something radically different. We’ll walk through Scripture, reflect on personal stories of costly grace, and wrestle with the question: are we really willing to extend the kind of grace we’ve received?

If you’ve ever struggled with forgiving someone, been frustrated by who gets a second chance, or wondered how to live with grace in a world of outrage—this conversation is for you.

Have you ever realized just how much someone’s opinion means to you—maybe more than it should? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob shares a vulnerable moment sparked by podcast feedback from his brother—feedback that unexpectedly exposed a long-standing hunger for approval.

From subtle people-pleasing to full-on identity crisis mode, Rob unpacks what the Bible says about living for the approval of others versus resting in the approval of God. With a mix of heartfelt storytelling, scriptural truth, and just the right amount of humor, this episode explores:

• The hidden traps of approval addiction
• Why encouragement is a gift (not a god)
• How to receive affirmation without needing it
• What it really means to live for God’s “Well done”
• And some practical, slightly sassy calls to action

If you've ever felt like your worth is on the line every time you hit "post" or share your work with someone important, this one’s for you.

Because small ripples don’t need big applause—they just need a faithful heart.
