    If God Is For You, You've Already Won

    📝 If God Is For You, You've Already Won Scripture: Romans 8:31 What if the greatest advantage in your life has nothing to do with your talent, position, or past—but everything to do with who is on your side? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob unpacks the life-changing truth of Romans 8:31: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" This isn't motivational hype—it's spiritual reality. When you realize that the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the armies of heaven are on your team, fear begins to fade and confidence takes its place. Through powerful Scripture, personal stories from ministry and life in Japan, and vivid sports analogies, Rob shows how remembering who backs you changes the way you face opposition, insecurity, and uncertainty. You may feel overlooked, underqualified, or like the last player on the bench—but with God on your side, the outcome is already secure. This message will help you stop playing small and start living from victory. 🔑 Key Takeaways Your greatest advantage is who is for you, not what you bring. Romans 8:31 reveals the believer's true position: backed by heaven. Fear grows when we focus on opposition—but confidence grows when we focus on God.

    When Your Worst Sermon Becomes God's Best Work

    📝 When Your Worst Sermon Becomes God's Best Work Podcast: The Rob Skinner Podcast Episode Summary Have you ever poured your heart into something—only to walk away feeling like it completely failed? In this honest and encouraging episode, Rob Skinner shares a recent preaching experience that felt weak, quiet, and ineffective… until God revealed a very different story. Through an unexpected conversation after church, Rob was reminded of a powerful spiritual truth: Your feelings are a terrible measure of God's effectiveness. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12:9, this episode explores how God often does His deepest work in our weakest moments—and why weakness isn't a barrier to usefulness, but the very doorway to God's power. If you've ever felt unsure, underprepared, or ineffective in your faith, this message will encourage you to keep showing up, trusting that God is working even when you can't see it. Key Takeaways Feelings don't determine spiritual effectiveness—God does Weakness often becomes the place where God's power is revealed Small, imperfect acts of faith can have unseen eternal impact God uses ordinary, uncertain moments to reach people in need Showing up in faith matters more than feeling strong Scripture Highlight 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Practical Challenge This week: Show up even when you don't feel ready Speak the kind word Pray the simple prayer Open the Bible with someone Offer your weakness to God instead of hiding it You may discover that what feels small to you is exactly what God uses most. Final Encouragement Weakness isn't the end of usefulness— it's often the beginning of God's power. Don't wait until you feel strong. Trust God and take the next step of faith today.

    The Freedom of Living Beyond People's Opinions

    📝 The Freedom of Living Beyond People's Opinions Podcast: The Rob Skinner Podcast Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 4:3 Episode Summary Have you ever felt crushed by what others think of you—or even worse, by the voice inside your own head? In this powerful devotional episode, Rob Skinner explores the radical freedom found in the apostle Paul's words from 1 Corinthians 4:3: "I care very little if I am judged by you… indeed, I do not even judge myself." Paul lived with an unshakable peace that most of us have never experienced—freedom from people-pleasing, freedom from self-condemnation, and confidence rooted entirely in God's approval. In a world driven by comparison, criticism, and constant validation, this message reveals a better way to live: for an audience of One. You'll discover how trusting God's judgment instead of human opinion releases emotional weight, silences the inner critic, and opens the door to peace, confidence, and joy. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why people-pleasing quietly steals your peace How Paul handled criticism, comparison, and rejection The danger of harsh self-judgment and inner condemnation What it means to live for God's approval alone How trusting God's grace creates real emotional freedom Practical steps to release the need for validation and live with confidence Key Scripture 1 Corinthians 4:3 "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself." Core Takeaway Real freedom begins when God's opinion matters more than anyone else's— including your own. When you trust Him as the true judge, you can stop performing, stop replaying failures, and start living with peace, confidence, and joy. That's the heart of the 10X Christian life. Reflection Questions Whose approval are you chasing right now? Where is your inner critic louder than God's grace? What would change if you truly lived for an audience of One?

  5. What God Calls Pure Christianity (And Why It's So Uncomfortable)

    FEB 11

    What God Calls Pure Christianity (And Why It's So Uncomfortable)

    What God Calls Pure Christianity (And Why It's So Uncomfortable) What if much of what we call Christianity… God wouldn't call pure? In this powerful episode of The Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores the simple yet challenging definition of real faith found in James 1:27. When church culture, traditions, and labels are stripped away, Scripture reveals a clear picture of what God considers pure and faultless religion: Loving the vulnerable and living with a clean heart. Rob unpacks how early Christians transformed the world through radical compassion—serving the sick, the poor, and the forgotten—even at great personal cost. But James' message doesn't stop with outward action. True faith also requires guarding our inner life from the quiet spiritual pollution that can dull our devotion. This episode is a call to live with: Radical compassion toward those in need Personal purity in a culture that pulls us away from God Balanced faith that is both outwardly loving and inwardly clean Through personal stories, ministry reflections, and practical challenges, Rob invites you to examine: Who around you needs protection, encouragement, or help What habits or influences may be quietly polluting your heart How to live the kind of faith that God calls pure and faultless If you want a simple definition of a 10X Christian, this might be it: Love radically. Live purely. And that kind of faith doesn't just change you— it changes the world. 📖 Scripture Referenced James 1:27 — Pure and faultless religion Ephesians 2:10 — Created for good works 🙌 Challenge for This Week Help someone vulnerable or overlooked. Remove one source of spiritual pollution from your life. Ask God to shape both your compassion and your character. 📬 Stay Connected Sign up for Rob's weekly newsletter at: RobSkinner.com Rob's mission is to inspire you to: Live a no-regrets life Make this life count Multiply disciples, leaders, and churches

    It's Not the Facts—It's Your Attitude That Moves Mountains

    📝 It's Not the Facts—It's Your Attitude That Moves Mountains What if the facts of your life aren't the real problem? Psychiatrist Carl Menninger once said, "Attitudes are more important than facts." At first, that sounds risky—until you realize how deeply biblical it really is. From a Roman prison cell, uncertain of his future, the apostle Paul wrote: "Rejoice in the Lord always." (Philippians 4:4) "I have learned the secret of being content in every situation." (Philippians 4:12) Paul's facts were terrible. But his attitude was unshakable—and it changed history. In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores: Why attitude matters more than circumstances How Paul's prison mindset reveals the power of faith What it means to have the mindset of Christ (Philippians 2:5) How gratitude, prayer, and perseverance open the door for God to move Why faith doesn't ignore facts—it refuses to be limited by them You'll also hear a personal story of preaching through anxiety, discouragement, and difficult circumstances—and how a simple shift in mindset allowed God to work powerfully in someone's life. If you're facing discouraging facts right now— a difficult diagnosis, a strained relationship, financial pressure, or ministry setbacks— this message will remind you: Mountains move not when the facts change, but when your faith-filled attitude does. Take a few minutes today to examine your mindset, align it with Christ, and watch what God does next. 📖 Scriptures Referenced Philippians 4:4 — Rejoice in the Lord always Philippians 4:12 — Content in every situation Philippians 2:5 — The mindset of Christ 🔔 Stay Connected Sign up for Rob's weekly newsletter: 👉 https://robskinner.com Encouragement, updates, and prayer—delivered each week.

    380. You've Been Assigned This Mountain (And It's Not to Stop You)

    You've Been Assigned This Mountain (And It's Not to Stop You) Sometimes life hands us a mountain we never asked for. A health crisis. A financial setback. A broken relationship. A ministry that feels stuck. And the question rises in our hearts: "God… why this?" But what if the mountain in front of you isn't punishment— what if it's purpose? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores Jesus' powerful words about faith the size of a mustard seed and what it really means to move mountains. You'll discover: Why God allows impossible situations How faith grows before the mountain moves The difference between God changing your situation and God changing you How your struggle might become someone else's hope Why every testimony begins with a test If you're facing something that feels immovable right now, this episode is a reminder: Mountains aren't assigned to crush you. They're assigned to train you—and to show others what faith can do. Take a deep breath, look at the mountain in front of you, and remember: You have been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved. 📖 Scriptures Referenced Matthew 17:20 — Faith the size of a mustard seed Stories of faith in impossible situations throughout Scripture 🔔 Next Steps Sign up for Rob's weekly newsletter: 👉 https://robskinner.com Stay encouraged, stay connected, and keep growing in faith.

    The One Thing You Can't Afford to Miss (Even If You're Busy Doing Good)

    The One Thing You Can't Afford to Miss (Even If You're Busy Doing Good) Are you busy doing good things—but still feeling spiritually dry, distracted, or stuck? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob looks at Jesus' words to Martha in Luke 10:41–42, where Jesus gently reminds her that while she was busy and faithful, she was missing what mattered most. Rob explores: Why being busy—even with good and spiritual things—can still leave us empty The difference between doing things for God and being with God How distraction quietly pulls our hearts away from intimacy with Jesus Gary Keller's powerful question from The One Thing—and why it's deeply spiritual How focusing on one essential thing can bring clarity, peace, and renewed purpose If your days feel full but your soul feels dry, this episode is an invitation to slow down, refocus, and rediscover what Jesus says we truly need. Key Scripture: 📖 Luke 10:41–42 — "You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one."
