Good intentions don’t always mean good direction.

In this episode, Bob Shaw shares a humorous childhood story about trying to “dig for the devil” — a sincere but wildly misguided plan — and uses it to explore a deeper spiritual truth: we can have real passion, genuine faith, and good motives, yet still misunderstand what God is doing.

Drawing from Romans 10:2, Proverbs 14:12, and Ephesians 6:12, this devotional reminds us that zeal without understanding can lead us in the wrong direction — and that God graciously shapes sincere hearts rather than shaming them.

A thoughtful and encouraging reminder that growth often begins with correction.

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw talks about imposter syndrome — that quiet belief that you don’t belong, aren’t enough, or somehow slipped into a role God never intended for you. From Moses and Gideon to Jeremiah and Paul, Scripture shows that feeling unqualified is often part of how God teaches us to depend on Him.

Bob also shares his personal story of being nominated to serve as an elder at his church — a role he never aspired to and didn’t feel qualified for — and how God used those years to stretch and grow his faith.

A devotional reminder that God doesn’t deny our weakness — He works through it.

It’s easy to feel insignificant in a loud, busy world.

In this Faith Fuel episode, Bob Shaw reflects on Ephesians 2:10 and God’s truth about who we are — His workmanship, created with purpose. You are not an accident, not forgotten, and not without value. God designed you intentionally and lovingly.

This devotional encourages listeners to see themselves the way God sees them — valued, loved, and called to make a difference in the world, even in small and quiet ways.

A hopeful reminder that your life has meaning, purpose, and value today.
