Life Goes Faster Than You Think

Life moves faster than most people realize. In this special 100th episode of FaithFuel with Bob Shaw, Bob reflects on how quickly life passes, how priorities change over time, and why developing an eternal perspective changes the way people view relationships, faith, purpose, and everyday life. Using Psalm 90:12 and James 4:14, this devotional encourages listeners not to waste their lives chasing temporary things while neglecting what truly lasts. Because relationships, faith, character, and pointing people toward Christ carry eternal value. And as Ferris Bueller famously said:  “Life moves pretty fast.” I always appreciate hearing from you—feel free to reach out.

Have I Made a Difference?

At some point in life, many people start asking deeper questions. Did my life matter? Did I make a difference? Did I really do enough for God? In this episode of FaithFuel with Bob Shaw, Bob talks about legacy, faithfulness, and why God often measures impact very differently than the world does. Using Galatians 6:9 and Matthew 25:21, this devotional encourages listeners not to measure significance by fame, recognition, or visibility, but by everyday faithfulness over time. Because some of the greatest impact in life happens quietly through simple acts of obedience, encouragement, kindness, prayer, and pointing people toward Christ.

What Is Love, Anyway?

The world talks constantly about love. Songs, movies, relationships, emotions, attraction — everybody uses the word. But what does real love actually look like? In this episode of FaithFuel with Bob Shaw, Bob talks about the difference between cultural ideas of love and the kind of love described in the Bible. From infatuation and relationships to sacrifice, forgiveness, truth, grace, and the example of Jesus, this devotional explores why biblical love is deeper than emotion alone. Using 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 and Romans 5:8, this episode encourages listeners to see love not just as a feeling, but as something that reflects the very character of God.

What Does the Bible Mean by Predestination?

Predestination is one of the most debated and misunderstood topics in Christianity. Do people really have free will? Did God choose certain people before the world began? And why do faithful Christians disagree about this so much? In this episode of FaithFuel with Bob Shaw, Bob talks about what the Bible means by predestination, why God’s sovereignty and human responsibility both appear in Scripture, and why this topic should lead believers toward humility and trust instead of fear and division. Using Ephesians 1:4–5 and John 6:44, this devotional encourages listeners to trust the wisdom and goodness of God even when every question does not have a simple answer.
