Identifying the Position of Your Heart Toward God Reveals the Posture of Your Heart (Episode 65)
Jul 28 2022
Identifying the Position of Your Heart Toward God Reveals the Posture of Your Heart (Episode 65)
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how the position of our heart toward God reveals the posture of our heart toward God. If you were to rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being not good and 10 being great), how would you rate your relationship with God right now? God desires a positional relationship with each one of us. This episode elaborates on the physical positions of our hearts and how it affects our relationship with God and others. Like sunflowers who track east to west when young (heliotropism), we often get to a place where we feel spiritually mature and stay facing east and fail to track toward God continually day in and day out throughout season to season. Scriptures refererenced: Genesis 4:24, "After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." Genesis 4:16, "Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden." Genesis 13:11, "So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other." Ezekiel 17:10, "Even if it is transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it - wither away in the plot where it grew?" Transcripts of this episode are available at http://www.sandalfeet.org/thedepotpodcast.

The Importance of Keeping a Level Head Even When Everyone Around You is Ignoring What You Have to Say - Lessons from 2 Timothy 4 (Episode 64)

The Importance of Keeping a Level Head Even When Everyone Around You is Ignoring What You Have to Say - Lessons from 2 Timothy 4 (Episode 64)
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses why it is so important to keep a level head even when those around you aren't and are ignoring what you have to say. In 2 Timothy chapter 4, Paul knows his life is close to being at the end. Erin challenges her listeners with the question, "Is your life preparing you for death?" as she lists all the things Paul does in his final days. Are there relationships that need to be reconciled? Who needs to hear the Gospel preached to them? Who are you thankful for? Who do you want by your side and what do you want with you? Second Timothy challenges each one of us to do the work not just for ourselves, but for all of those who need to hear what the Lord has to say.   Erin’s website information: For more resources and to sign up to receive Erin’s weekly ministry newsletter, visit Erin Olson’s ministry website, Sandalfeet Ministries, at http://www.sandalfeet.org/.

Why Is It So Hard to Be a Christian Today? - Lessons from 2 Timothy 3 (Episode 63)

Why Is It So Hard to Be a Christian Today? - Lessons from 2 Timothy 3 (Episode 63)
In this epsiode, Erin Olson discusses why it is so hard to be a Christian today during times when people are seeking pleasure more than they are seeking God. Erin continues in her teaching series of 2 Timothy and discusses Paul's charge to Timothy in chapter 3. Love of Pleasure: controlled by self, obtained easily, benefits us now, narcotic effect, cooperates with pride Love of God: God can't be controlled, often requires effort and sacrifice, often benefits us in the future but not immediately, reminds us of our needs and responsibilities, must lay aside our pride and accomplishments Warning to all: watch out for false teachers Sin and wrong will always be exposed. The Bible is Truthh regardless of what any Gallup poll says.

If Jesus Walked Into a Drag Queen Reading Hour, He Would Say This - Lessons from 2 Timothy 2 (Episode 61)
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how if Jesus walked into a drag queen reading hour, He would know exactly what to say because He would know His audience. And, so should we. Erin continues in the book of 2 Timothy 2. In chapter 2 Paul is speaking to Timothy and encouraging him to persevere despite the odds against him. Regardless of what people are saying or what is going on in the world, Paul instructed Timothy (and believers) to stay above the chatter and focus on the gospel mission. Listen to these timeless truths and be encouraged and inspired to go out and share the Gospel with the lost.

How Do You Define Evil? (Episode 59) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson
In this episode, Erin discusses the defintion of evil and the tragic events which took place in Uvalde, Texas this past week. She discusses where evil came from and how Christians can navigate reaching those who are hurting, sad, angry, and need help. Christians shouldn't run and hide while the world is suffering, and instead should be the hands and feet of Jesus through prayer and action. Christians should always be in motion to share the Good News of the Gospel. As more and more people are exposed to the love of Christ, more and more spiritual orphans will be adopted into the family of Christ. As this happens, the Holy Spirit will do the transformative work of changing hearts.  She challenges believers in prayer at the end so take a listen!

How Can Christians Make it Through Tough Times? (Episode 58) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses Paul's second letter to Timothy, including the first chapter (2 Timothy 1), and effective ways for Christian leaders to get through tough times. Paul knew he was nearing death as he sat isolated from people in his prison cell in Rome, but he wanted to send his final words of encouragement to Timothy. Paul wanted to remind Timothy of his calling and to not give up. Paul reminded Timothy of these three things as it related to leadership during tough times. 1) Leaders have power through the Holy Spirit 2) Leaders have the ability to love even those who hate them through the Holy Spirit 3) Leaders have the ability to be self-disciplined through the Holy Spirit Paul knew Timothy needed encouragement to stay strong, but for many of you today, you need a word of encouragement as well. May this podcast serve this purpose...to encourage you.

Two Very Different Ways to Live Out Self in Today's Culture War (Episode 57) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson

Two Very Different Ways to Live Out Self in Today's Culture War (Episode 57) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses the issue of "Self" as it relates to the current hot topics in our culture war today. To die to self is what the Lord asks of each Christian. As we surrender, we learn what it means to love God and love others...which has very little self in it. However, when one lives too much for self, there are consequences which don't just affect the person making the choice, it affects others.  Erin mentions the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade and how self plays in to the issue of life and choice.

Guarding Your Motives Reduces the Risk of Messing It All Up in Ministry - Lessons from 1 Timothy 6 (Episode 56) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how guarding your motives and heart reduces the risk of messing it all up in ministry. Erin finishes up the book of 1 Timothy. In Chapter 6, Paul continues to his instruction for Timothy, including how important it is for Timothy to guard his motives and to remember the importance of the Gospel.

Don't Be Dysfunctional: Caring for Others Affects the Church Overall - Lessons from 1 Timothy 5 (Episode 55) - The Depot Podcast with Erin Olson
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how the Church family should not be dsyfunctional in caring for itself and for others. If the Church continues to look like an example of a dysfunctional family, the Church will lose its effectiveness in not only caring for those within the Church but also lose its effectiveness in reaching the unsaved. This letter describes how we are to treat each other with intention and respect. For downloadable notes on 1 Timothy 5, click HERE.

In this episode, Erin Olson discusses the highest value God places on the Church. There is no greater influence in all the world than the Church.

Why Church Leadership Matters - Lessons from 1 Timothy 3-1-13 (Episode 53)

Why Church Leadership Matters - Lessons from 1 Timothy 3-1-13 (Episode 53)
In this episode, Erin Olson discusses why church leadership matters as outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1-13. More important than charisma, stage presence, number of followers, and size of one’s ministry is character. Church leaders are called to be leaders who serve and run their households well. When Christian leaders struggle and fall, it doesn’t happen overnight. This chapter outlines how elders and deacons should behave in their positions. It also helps non-leaders within the Church know what to look for in a biblical leader. Elders = servant leaders Deacons = leading servants The offices of elders (overseers, pastors) and deacons vary in roles, however, both are to be complimentary toward one another as they support the Church. Elders 1. Lead under the authority of Christ 2. Care for the body of Christ 3. Teach the Word of God 4. Model the character of Christ Deacons 1. Meet the needs of the Church according to the Word 2. Support the ministry of the Word 3. Unify the body around the Word For downloadable notes on 1 Timothy 3:1-13, click HERE.
