Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Robertson

Christians aren't consumers, we are contributors. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson describes how we can move from "me" faith to "we" faith.1. We've turned church into a burrito bar, not a potluck.Custom culture has crept into the church."I need to get fed" = consumer mindset.But spiritual fullness doesn't come from endless intake.2. We've reversed the flow of Christian life.Church isn't just where we receive.Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for selfish worship (1 Cor. 11:20–22).Modern faith: inhale only, never exhale.When your entire spiritual life is built around what you receive—what you get out of a sermon, what you feel during worship, what you need to make it through the week, you will eventually feel empty. Not because God failed to show up...but because you never poured out what He already gave you.If you never pour out, you eventually suffocate.3. Grow in private. Give in public.Hebrews 10:24–25 – we gather to encourage and spur one another on.You grow in the quiet place. You give in the gathering place.The church is a place of participation, not passive inspiration.Maturity = contribution.4. Bring something. Leave nourished.Acts 4:32, 34–35 – radical generosity led by the Spirit.This is the miracle of Christian community: Everyone brings something, and everyone leaves nourished. No one's left out. No one's forgotten. God meets us as we meet each other.This isn't communism—it's Christlikeness.Give your time, joy, story, smile.Life rhythm: Receive. Release. Repeat.5. How do we live this out?1. Treat church like a dinner table, not a diner.1 Cor. 14:26 – Everyone brings something.The Church is meant to be a table where everyone brings something. Not a drive-through line. Your presence, your prayers,  and your service matters.2. Be someone's breakthrough.James 5:16 – Your prayers may unlock healing for someone else. So many times we find ourselves listening to God for ourselves, we never stop to ask God how we could encourage someone else.Church is not just where we get filled—it's where we pour ourselves out. Mature disciples don't just ask, "What's in it for me?" They ask, "What can I give away?"Question: Are you a contributor or a consumer?

Have you ever felt like worship and following Jesus just aren't clicking for you? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares something simple yet essential that can unlock your relationship with God. In this series, we look at major themes that repeat in the Psalms.I. Desire for GodPsalm 27:4 – "One thing I ask from the Lord... to dwell in the house of the Lord..."What if your faith could feel like home instead of homework?Psalm 24:3-4 The key to unlocking intimacy with God—the thing we've been missing—is holiness.II.  Why Holiness Feels So HardWe Don't Know What it is—Holiness Feels Heavy.Holiness is a major theme in the Bible. Psalm 51:10 – "Create in me a pure heart, O God..."Psalm 86:11 (NLT) – "Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you."Holiness Feels OverwhelmingSometimes we feel so far off, we don't even want to start. If we understood holiness, we'd feel empowered, not defeated.It brings life, not pressure.III. What Holiness Really IsTo be set apart for God's purpose.Holiness isn't about avoiding sin—it's about staying close to the God who is holy.Sin is not just a legal problem—it's blindness, sickness, and weight. It clogs your spiritual arteries.IV. How do we walk in holiness?1. Live Like You Matter (Identity)1 Peter 2:9 – "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation..."This is about your who, not your do.Holiness begins with knowing you belong to God.Takeaway: You can't know how to live until you know who you are.2. Live like "That" Matters (Action)Romans 12:1 Holiness isn't about your ability, its about your availability.Every area of your life that is not surrendered to God is an opportunity for ineffectiveness.Takeaway: God doesn't just want your Sundays. He wants your everyday.Holiness means being usable—not flawless.3. Live like It Matters (Purpose)1 Peter 2:9 - "that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness..."It's hard to live set apart life when you don't know what you were set apart for!When you know something's purpose, you use it for what it was created for.You were made to point people to God—but you can't do that when your purpose is misused.Takeaway: Live like it matters—because it does.Conclusion: Put Purity on RepeatHebrews 12:14 – "Make every effort... to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."Holiness isn't old school, it's essential.David had to climb the mountain. We have a Savior who comes down it.Holiness isn't about getting it right—it's about staying surrendered.Final Thought:Holiness is the key to moving from hard mode to easy yoke. It's not about rule-keeping, it's the rhythm of real life with God. Make it something you put on repeat.Question: Are you skipping out on holiness?

Big Idea: The Psalms teach us to bring raw, honest emotions before God rather than pretending everything is fine.In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how to be real with God and others. The World's View of AuthenticityCulture claims to value authenticity but actually promotes curation—selecting and displaying only the best parts.Social media reinforces this: we publish the highlights, hide the struggles.The danger? We do this with God too—afraid to be real before Him.The Root of Our HidingGenesis 3:8-10 – Adam and Eve hid from God out of fear and shame.We admire authenticity in others but struggle to be authentic ourselves.Spiritual imposter syndrome: We feel we're not enough, so we hide our failures from God.Key truth: If we want intimacy with God, we must be vulnerable before Him.The Psalms Show a Better WayDavid was flawed, but never fake.Examples of raw honesty in Psalms: Psalm 12:1 – Feeling abandoned. Psalm 13:1-2 – Wrestling with doubt. Psalm 51 – Confession of failure. Instead of hiding, David brought his mess to God—and God met him there.God Calls Us to AuthenticityPeople judge our mess—God embraces it to heal us.Key point: Emotions can be real and irrational at the same time. God is not afraid of the mess.Matthew 16:24 – Following Jesus means denying pride, not pretending we have it all together.The Psalms reveal two powerful truths:1. God                 you (Psalm 139:1-4).2. God has            for you (Psalm 103:13-14).How We RespondBe Real with                 (1 John 1:8-9) We deceive ourselves if we claim to be sinless. Grace is for those who acknowledge their need. Be Real with           (James 5:16)Accountability spreads the weight and helps us rise again.Three rules for accountability: Choose wisely—don't share everything with everyone. Seek spiritual maturity—don't ask a child for medical advice. Own your accountability—it's your responsibility, not theirs. Closing Challenge:Stop curating your faith—God wants the real you.Bring your whole self to God, and let Him transform you.The Psalms teach us that authenticity before God leads to true holiness.Are you being real with God and others?

Do you feel insecure? The desire to feel secure is foundational for psychological development. In part one of our series On Repeat: The Psalms' Greatest Hits, Pastor Eric Robertson explores one of the most powerful themes in the Psalms—security. As human beings, we all seek stability, but no amount of money, success, or preparation can provide the unshakable foundation we long for. Psalm 125:1-2 reminds us that true security comes from trusting in the Lord, not in our own strength.Psalm 125: 1-2:  Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.Life is full of uncertainties, and insecurity often comes from within rather than external circumstances. We chase financial success, relationships, and control, yet they leave us feeling just as vulnerable.Our biggest threat to our sense of security comes from insecurity.The problem isn't just that the world is uncertain—the problem is that we are. Even when life is stable, we struggle with insecurity.Insecurity is a feeling of self-doubt or a lack of confidence. Emotionally, it makes you feel like you're on roller skates but don't know how to skate. That is the feeling that we, as a society, run from.Psalm 46: 1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surgingThe Psalmist doesn't say that troubles will never come, but that in the midst of them, GOD IS OUR REFUGE. It's His presence, not our circumstances, that make us secure.The Psalms repeat this truth over and over—when life shakes us, we have a shelter that never fails.Join us as we discuss what it means to take refuge in God, let go of self-reliance, and find peace in His presence. When trouble comes, where do you run?

 Are you a good person? Better than most? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares a parable of Jesus that addresses the difference between those who are self-righteous and those who have through humility received the righteousness of God.   Luke 18: 10-14   Pharisees were the good guys. They were the only people in Jerusalem doing something about the Roman occupation.  Tax Collectors were traitors! They were Jews selected by Roman officials because they knew the culture and everyone's secrets.  Breakdown Vs 10: It would have been normal to see a Pharisee stand in the temple and pray, but very odd to see a tax collector there.  Vs 11-13  The Twist Vs 14  This is the reversal! This is the shocking end. If you were listening to this parable as Jesus told it, offense would be setting in, anger would be brewing.  The bad guy finds redemption and the good guy finds condemnation. Vs 9  To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: Jesus is telling this parable to people who think they are better than they are. People, who through pride, believe that their efforts are enough to restore union with God.  Kingdom Truths from the Parable  1.  Self-righteousness blinds us to our brokenness. Self-righteousness is a reliance on one's own perceived goodness, morality, or religious works to justify oneself before God.   Self-righteousness is a sin that blinds us to our own brokenness. When you are looking down on everyone else, you can't look in the mirror. God is looking for more than compliance. He is looking for surrender.   2. We are saved by grace, not good behavior. How you receive grace, shows you what you believe to be true about God. Those of us who feel like we need to work for or earn God's love may see God more like a boss. His grace flows from His eternal desire to be your Father. "Jesus did not come to change God's mind about us; He came to reveal the eternal truth that we are beloved." -Baxter Kruger In other words, God's grace doesn't purchase His love, it reveals it. Ephesians 1:4-5  Ephesians 2:8-9 3. Pride Ruins, Humility Restores. Galatians 6: 3-4  The reason pride is so dangerous is that it removes our ability to be reliant. If you don't think you need help, you are at risk of rejecting the very thing required to save you...God's grace. James 4: 6-10 Conclusion: The story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector is a warning to us. Jesus leaves us with two choices at the end: either remain humble and allow God to elevate us or get knocked down. Some of us require the latter.  But the scandal of the Gospel is that there is grace for the humble, and grace for the proud. Question: Who are you trusting in?

Here is the problem: According to the  World Health Organization, 40% of 10,000 people surveyed reported suffering from burnout in 2023. Burnout is a recognized psychological condition that results in physical and emotional fatigue, where we feel tired and lack motivation. It closely resembles depression.Analyzing the Problem:·       Is time our problem?·       What about money? Inside of us is this desire for meaning and for life that is only truly filled by knowing and being known by God. In our pursuit of trying to fill this desire we instead chase pleasure, plenty, and power.1 John 2: 16·       The division in our hearts is one of restlessness and exhaustion. One half of our heart says "I'm tired and I need rest," while the other half says, " I am restless and I want more."·       We know we need to rest, but we don't want to.      In Exodus 13 and 14, God frees the Israelites from the bondage of endless exhaustion. In the chapters that follow, God institutes something called Sabbath ("stop" in Hebrew)·       Later in Amos 8:5 god criticizes Israel for their hatred of rest.·       Israel had one eye on the rest and the other on the clock. This desire for more contributes to our lack of desire to rest. How many times have you felt guilty about taking a break? How many of you sit down only to think about all of the things you need to be doing?When you continuously run stop signs, you will eventually get into a wreck.We go and do without restraint in hopes of finding meaning and life. The way to find life is not through doing more but by doing less.Solution:Jesus presents us with an invitation to his Gospel of rest. His invitation to rest extends to us today.Matthew 11: 28-30 ·       This invitation is to a spiritual rest and a way of life. A rhythm or way of doing life that trusts that God knows my need for rest and will do more in my absence than I could do working overtime.·       When Israel found itself stuck in a cycle of labor and exhaustion, God gave them an exit (Exodus). That Exodus for us is taking time away from the cycle and resting, delighting, and worshipping.·       Jesus gives us an exit. That exit involves resting from our spiritual works AND working into our lives a rhythm of physical rest. Sitting at the Feet of JesusLuke 10: 38-42 1.      Martha was right."But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made." Resting is about trusting God with what we need to do so that He can give us what we need.2.      Mary chose the better over the good.This country is great, and the opportunities are good, but Jesus is better.3.      Martha's works could be taken away, but Mary's rest was eternal.Our stuff can be taken from us, Jesus can't. Never trade the eternal for the external

Are you aware of the significance of your words? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how idle words can hurt others and even bring judgement upon ourselves. What are Idle Words?Matthew 12: 36-37NLT:  "And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.  The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you."NIV:  "for every empty word" ESV:  "for every careless word" We speak idle words when we speak without understanding the weight and responsibility of our words.Speaking idle words is like putting a car in neutral and hammering the gas. You are wasting vital energy but not going anywhere or helping anyone.Idle words come in many forms but the most common form of idle words is empty criticism.Your words shape your world. If you sow seeds of empty criticism you will reap the fruit of it.  How Are We Judged?Matthew 7: 2 You are judged with the same measure that you judge others. You get to choose your own judgment based on how you treat others. This happens in this life and the next.This judgment does not pertain to your salvation but to your ministry and what you have done with what you were given.1 Corinthians 3: 12-15  How Do We Protect Ourselves from Idle Words?1.      Check your heart.Luke 6: 45  "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."The key to taming the tongue is forming yourself into the image of Jesus. God is not interested in renewing one part of you, He wants to transform all of you. 2.      Check your mindA word starts with a thought. If you can change the way you think, you can change the way you speak. If you are constantly thinking about what is wrong, you are misdirecting your ability to make things right. Criticism is a gift that, when used correctly, leads to restoration, but when used incorrectly leads to division and pain. Philippians 4:8  3.      Check your mouth.Not everything you think needs to be said. The key to growth in this area of your life is self-discipline brought forth from a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you tame your tongue.Ephesians 4:29 Proverbs: 29: 11 If what you want to say isn't going to build someone up, or it doesn't fit the occasion, don't say it.  What would your life look like if you exchanged criticism for kindness?You are creating a world with your words. You are either creating heaven on earth or hell on earth. What do you want your legacy to be? Your words are the building blocks of your legacy no matter how you use them.

 Is doctrine important? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson tells us how the Bible helps us know how what to think about God.  We are thinkers by nature. We are curious by nature. Have you ever looked up at the stars at night and wondered how in the world they got there? Proverbs 25: 2  It is God's privilege to conceal things and the king's privilege to discover them. Our beliefs shape our actions, and our doctrine determines our direction. Doctrine gives us the proper glasses to view the world and ourselves. Doctrine gives us answers to the questions of our hearts and allows us to live out those truths. What is Doctrine? Doctrine Informs ·       The word doctrine comes from the Latin phrase "doctrina" which means teaching and instruction. Doctrine is the teaching of scriptures that provide a framework for us to grow in our knowledge of God and spiritual maturity. ·       You should want to grow in your knowledge of God! ·       1 Peter 3:18 "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." ·       2 Timothy 3:16  tells us that the Bible is God's inspired Word that is good for teaching ·       Doctrine isn't the end, it is the means to the end. The end goal is to know Jesus. Doctrine Transforms ·       The purpose of doctrine is transformation not just information. ·       Isaiah 55: 11-13 ·       Good doctrine bears good fruit. Bad doctrine bears bad fruit. No doctrine bears no fruit. Prioritizing Doctrines ·       Doctrinal differences have caused a lot of division throughout church history. Usually, the disagreements are about non-essential issues. This is a core belief of VFC: if someone professes Jesus as the Son of God and the only way to salvation, we consider them a member of Christ's family and a brother or sister of ours. ·       Love is prioritized over belief. Belong, Believe, Become. ·       1 Corinthians 8: 1-3  Building Your House ·       For me, reading the Bible for doctrine is a lot like building a house. There are 4 essential things that every house needs. 1.      Foundation: Matthew 7: 24-27 24 2.      Walls: Our theology must make us distinct from the world. You can't help the world if you believe like the world. We live in a culture that is searching for identity by destroying boundaries. Boundaries define who you are and what is yours. Romans 12: 2 3.      Roof: A roof protects us from the elements, and good doctrine protects us from harmful beliefs and behaviors. Galatians 1: 6-7 4.      Door: The door to our theological house is always Jesus. John 14: 6     Where do you get the materials? The Bible! The Bible is our home center. The Bible provides the raw material that we need to build our theological house on a solid foundation. How to Read the Bible for Doctrine: 1.      Question 2.      Scripture 3.      Community 4.      Construction 4.1     (Remodel) Deconstruction to Reconstruction.

 Do you attract or repel others when you tell them about Jesus?  In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson explores how our approach to evangelism can either attract or repel those we wish to reach. The discussion centers on a critical shift in understanding: moving from an approach rooted in judgment and justice to one that prioritizes mercy and grace. The message challenges the common mistake of presenting the Gospel with a heavy emphasis on judgment, which often leads to alienation rather than connection. Drawing from John 12:32, we learn how Jesus promised to draw a people to Himself through His sacrifice. When we live out the Gospel with genuine grace and love, there's no need for forceful evangelism—people are naturally drawn to this authentic expression of Jesus. Examine Matthew 9:10-13, where Jesus associates with tax collectors and sinners, demonstrating the importance of prioritizing mercy over judgment. This approach aligns with our role as a search and rescue team rather than bounty hunters. A key insight is that "mercy," as described in biblical terms, encompasses kindness, faithfulness, and loyalty. This understanding challenges the role of gatekeeping in the Kingdom of God. Mercy allows for belonging before transformation, urging us to avoid hypocrisy—living authentically rather than as a "stage-player." The message also addresses the problem of hypocrisy, as illustrated in Matthew 15:7-9 and Romans 2:22-24. Hypocrisy, or living a double life, damages our witness and alienates those we aim to reach. Authenticity is crucial; if our actions don't match our words, it undermines our credibility. The message concludes with a compelling vision: imagine a world where Christianity is synonymous with compassion. Picture your community or church as a "Kingdom Emergency Room," a place brimming with those who have found healing and love. Revelation 22:17 invites all who are thirsty to come and take the free gift of life, reinforcing the idea of evangelism as an act of invitation rather than imposition. Listeners are encouraged to assess their own lives and practices: Are we drawing others to Jesus or pushing them away? The call to action is clear: engage in a "search and rescue mission" by praying for those who don't yet know Jesus and actively being a light in their lives. The goal of evangelism is not to be a savior but to introduce others to the true Savior. Are you losing the lost? Listen to explore how genuine compassion and authenticity can transform your approach to sharing the Gospel.

How should a believer manage money? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares about a topic that Jesus taught about a lot. Jesus and MoneyThe focus of his teaching on money was not to create a path to financial stability, or not to invest in a Kingdom Ponzi scheme. The focus of Jesus was to ensure that you were in control of your money and that money was not in control of you.Jesus makes a direct connection between our hearts and our wallets.Matthew 6:21NLT: "Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be."Managing Money God's WayManaging money God's way is not easy, but it is simple.Live, Give, SaveLive SimplyGod's goal for your life is to live a life of shalom. Shalom is a Hebrew word that means peace, wholeness, prosperity, full and restored.Our access to excess has stolen our enjoyment of the necessities. We are applying biblical principles of generosity to chase after a type of prosperity that God never promised.Matthew 19: 21-22We should never be in a position where our possessions possess us.The answer to living on money is to live a life of biblical simplicity. Simplicity is getting rid of what we don't need to enjoy the things we do need.Richard Foster: "Simplicity sets possessions in their proper perspective. Simplicity is the only things that sufficiently [repositions] our lives so that possessions can be enjoyed without destroying us." Give GenerouslyThe biblical principle of generosity is as much about your heart as it is your wallet. When we treat generosity like a spiritual discipline, we reap spiritual benefits as well as financial ones.Matthew 6:22When your understanding or outlook of the world comes from a place of GENEROSITY, your whole life will be illuminated by God. If your understanding or outlook is STINGY, your life will be dark.Generosity is a symptom of spiritual health, while greed and stinginess are symptoms of spiritual sickness.2 Ways You Can Practice Generosity1.      Give ConsistentlyPercentage giving is not God's subscription service for financial stability, it's the process by which we pledge our allegiance to Kingdom of God and keep our hearts from greed.Start where you are and challenge yourself to be a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:72.      Give CompassionatelyWhat moves your heart? What brings you to tears? Give to that!1 Corinthians 16: 1-2Save DiligentlyIf generosity is an indication of spiritual health, then saving is an indication of financial health.According to recent surveys, the median American household has about $1200 in saving. Another survey indicates at 56% of Americans could not shoulder an unexpected $1000 expense.Saving is a form of self-control through delayed gratification.Start now, Be intentional, Be consistent.Proverbs 13:7Proverbs 21: 20Proverbs 13:22Proverbs 21: 5Are you willing to submit EVERYTHING, including your money, to God's way?

You will be tempted to embrace 3 different understandings of Jesus: American Jesus, Hippie Jesus, and Terminator Jesus.The Gospels are How We Know and How We Grow.Hebrews 1: 1-3Jesus is what God has to say about Himself. If you want to know who someone is, listen to THEM when they tell you who they are. When we have a distorted vision of Jesus, we will have a distorted vision of God.You learn about the real Jesus by spending time with Him, not studying the counterfeits.Hippie Jesus is cool with everything except not being cool.Hippie Jesus can be best defined by looking at the actual hippie movement that occurred in the United States in the 1960's.Hippie Jesus wants you to be the best you, even if it kills you.Hippie Jesus doesn't ever want you to be inconvenienced by his demands, so he has very few.Three Signs That You May Be Following Hippie Jesus 1) You mistake freedom FROM sin as freedom TO sin.Hippe Jesus promises you freedom to do whatever makes you feel good. People who follow Hippie Jesus will think things like "he knows my heart and that's what matters right?" or "Jesus freed me from all of those rules, I can do whatever as long as I don't feel bad about it."Hippie Jesus embraces our sinfulness and calls it "being spiritual". The real Jesus bore our sinfulness and empowers us to live a life of holiness.Romans 6: 20-22Hippie Jesus teaches poor impulse control, the real Jesus teaches self-control. 2) You have traded the "God life" for the "good life".Our habits reinforce our ideas. We are either being formed into the image of God, or we are being deformed. Hippie Jesus promises us the "good life" by telling us to follow our hearts and never challenges us to form ourselves around the teachings of Jesus. This leads to a life that completely misses out on the "God kind of life" that Jesus promises us.Hippie Jesus promises you a life that is okay, the real Jesus promises you abundant life."The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."─John 10:10Zoe perissos translated "abundant life" means more than life, eternal life, the God kind of life.Hippie Jesus is ripping you off. Jesus doesn't just help you "make the cut" when you die, he gives you access to His life now.Hippie Jesus is a bad "Hope Dealer." 3) Your "counterculture" looks more like the world than the Kingdom of God.Christianity is the most countercultural movement to ever exist. Christians in the early church period were known for doing the exact opposite of what the culture of that time was known for.Romans 12:2 (NIV) Are you following Hippie Jesus?

Do you feel the weight of your past mistakes? Does thinking about the future make you anxious? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson explains how we can "redeem the time."Ephesians 5:15-16 " See that you walk circumspectly [carefully], not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."- MEdeeming the time is fixating on the future.We are addicted to the future. Because by our own design, we are never living in the moment we are living for. We connect our happiness to a moment that never comes. The gospel gives us hope for the future and hope for now. Matthew 6:31-34""So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."" NLTWhy would God equip you to do something that is outside of His will?When we worry about what the future holds, it robs us of our present peace. ‭‭- MEdeeming the time is being preoccupied with the past. Condemnation, shame, and guilt anchor is to our past.  God wants to do a new things in you. His mercies are new every morning. The only thin anchoring you to your past is a lie that you believe. Philippians 3:13-14"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." NLT‬‬- How can you live in the present and Redeem the Time?      - Treat time like a gift, not a guarantee.James 4:14"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it's here a little while, then it's gone." NLT Psalm 90:12"Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom." NLT       - Time is a limited resource. What you do on this planet has eternal weight. The things that you do to serve God will never be forgotten. The things of this world leads to nothing that lasts eternally.         - Learn Patience over Productivity.Psalm 37:7, Colossians 3:12, James 1:4        - Cultivate Contentment over ControlLuke 12:25-26, Hebrews 13:5A lot of the running we do is to get things that we don't need. Don't let what you could have keep you from enjoying what you do have.          - Rest, Don't RushHebrews 4:9-10,11God wants you to rest. He created Sabbath for you.

Episode 12.5 features highlights from the interview with Eric Robertson of NRD Landscape Design + Build

In this podcast episode, Eric shares his unique story of how he met, as well as his journey from studying Oceanography to starting his own landscape design business. He revisits the design foresight of a city that prioritizes tree planting for future generations to enjoy. Eric also emphasizes the value of knocking on doors, stuffing mailboxes, and showcasing his work at Home and Garden Shows to attract prospective clients and highlight the value that NRD can bring to enhance their home enjoyment. Beyond his immense skills and great communication, Eric's real value lies in his commitment to providing a quality experience and honest care for his clients, trade partners, and employees.

Who is the evil one, and why do we need to be delivered? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson teaches on the final section of the prayer "deliver us from evil" or as some translations say it, "deliver us from the Evil One".  Believers have a part to play in defeating evil by living offensively and defensively towards the kingdom of darkness. Who is the evil one, and why do we need to be delivered? What we do know about Satan?God created him as an angel and at one point he was good.Gen 3:1, Col 1: 16-17He was punished because of his pride and his goal to become like God. Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28He is a defeated enemy. His sentence has already been determined and we are just waiting for it to be enacted. Col 2:15, Heb 2:14 The Scriptures tells us, contrary to what some Christians might believe, that Satan is actually ruling over and influencing our world 1 John 5:19  2 Corinthians 4:4 Satan's Will: kill, steal, destroyGod's Will: love, peace, abundant lifeEvil exists because there are two kingdoms at war. The Kingdom of Heaven ruled byGod's will and God's way and the kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan's will and way. When we hurt one another we are literally doing the work of Satan. How do we deal with evil? Do what Jesus did!Luke 4:18From Jesus' perspective, he not only had to defeat the enemy but he also had to undo his works.  Like a family business, believers have inherited both kingdom riches and kingdom works. How do we defend ourselves?Submission, Resistance, HolinessJames 5: 7-8ESV “Submit yourselves therefore to God 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. " 1. SubmissionTo properly defend ourselves against the tactics of the enemy we need to know thatour strength is not our own and our defense comes from God. When we submit ourlives to God we get His weapons and His protection.Psalm 121:1-2 If we want to be able to resist the enemy we need to walk in humility towards God and  be intimate with God.  2. ResistanceResistance is not passive, it is active.1 Peter 5:9  3. HolinessHoliness is the concept of being set apart from the world and being exclusive to God.When we choose to live our lives empowered by the Spirit and walking in holiness, weare taking control of our lives by giving control to God. This leaves no room in our lives for the enemy to exploit.John 17: 15-17, Ephesians 4:27 When you pray, do you ask God to empower you to defeat the enemy?

Did you know that serving others is a vital aspect of how we grow spiritually? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how we can make room for this important part of our faith. Service is the act of helping others from a place of compassion in order to give glory to God. Compassion= Intention, Giving Glory to God = Purpose Service is an essential part of your spiritual growth but it often gets the least amountof attention. Worship, prayer, and bible study get talked about and implemented in most of our lives. But service is often viewed as extra or voluntary. The reason that we struggle to make room for service is because our hustle culture is holding our time hostage. Maybe you want to serve more but fell you don't have time for it.  Maybe you are burned out or were hurt during past times of ministry.  Maybe you are lazy? Lacking time and motivation to serve the Lord indicates that you are lacking in your personal spiritual health. Service is a spiritual discipline. Service is a part of how we take care of our spiritual health.  Why Do We Serve?1. To practice our righteousness.If someone wants to get better at something, what do they do? They practice it.We don't do good things to get saved. Because we are saved, we get to do good things.Matthew 6:1, 1 John 3:17, 1 Peter 1:102. To share the gospelWhen we make an effort to help others from a place of compassion we become conduits, or pipelines, for the Gospel message.Matthew 5:163. To be good stewards of our timeJust like tithing teaches us to be good stewards of our resources, serving teaches us to be good stewards of our time.Christians are not just consumers, we are contributors .Ephesians 5:15-16, James 4:14 Who Do We Serve?1. Other BelieversWe place a priority on other believers. When we are prioritizing serving the church body we are ensuring the health of the Body of Christ so that the Body of Christ can minister to the broken world.Galatians 6:10, 1 Peter 4:10 2. The leastWe serve those who could never pay us back, because we serve a God who paid a debt we could never pay.Matthew 25: 40-45, James 1:27 3. Everyone elseWho do Christians help? Any one that needs it.Luke 10: 25-37, Philippians 2: 3-4, Ephesians 4:28 How Do We Serve?1. Sign up to serve on a VFC Ministry Team1 Peter 4:10-11 2. Serve those whose needs move you.The Holy Spirit will often times lead you to help someone. Offer a helping hand to what moves your heart. You don't need permission to help someone. VFC wants to partner with you to equip you to do what God has called you to.  How will you serve this year?

Happy New Year, film dorks! On the final episode of the year, the boys indulge in a holiday classic: the 1987 made-for-TV special A Muppet Family Christmas, featuring every Christmas song you've ever heard, plus about eight seconds of underscoring by Eric Robertson.

It's been a wild ride since April 2019 and we're glad you're all here with us. Stay safe out there.

Have you experienced a wilderness season? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how you can survive and grow in your wilderness season.  What is a Wilderness Season?A wilderness season is a period in a believer's spiritual life where they may feel isolated, under-equipped, vulnerable, or unfruitful. Things that used to work don't work anymore. You may feel like you aren't experiencing the presence or grace of God like you once did. All throughout scripture we see people, God's people going through this wilderness experience. Moses and the Israelites are pushed into the wilderness to escape slavery in Egypt: Prepped for Promise David in 1 Samuel 23: 14 is forced into the wilderness because of King Saul's attempt to kill him: Prepped for CallingElijah fled into the wilderness after killing the prophets of Baal: Learned to hearJesus was led by the wilderness by the Spirit after his baptismPaul spent 2 years in the wilderness after his conversion. In the wilderness, God takes things that we think are optional and makes them automatic.1. The Wilderness is not a place of persecution, it's a place of provision. (Israel: Exodus 16: 12-15)2. The Wilderness is the transition from bad to good and from good to great. When God is trying to move us to a new level of ministry or authority, the training grounds of the wilderness gives us the discipline and strength to prepare for the weight of God's plan. There is no way to get the results without the process. (David: 1 Samuel 24: 5-6)  What temptations should we watch out for? Luke 4: 1-13, The Temptation of Jesus1.  Self-Reliance (Luke 4:3-4): In the wilderness there is always a temptationto rely on yourself and what you know versus relying on God and his wisdom. Don't let your giftings get in the way of your calling.Jeremiah 17: 5-8 2.Short-cuts (Luke 4:5-8): Jesus was tempted with the very thing he came to accomplish.Jesus knew that the only way to bring those things was through his death.  The temptation to skip the wilderness is dangerous because it gives you responsibilitywithout wisdom. 3. Significance (Luke 4:9-12): Jesus' temptation wasn't just tempting God, it was the temptation to chase significance, fame, and being known. It is better to be known by God than to be famous to the world. Matthew 16:26  How do you Survive the Wilderness Season?1.  Don't Panic-there's a purpose behind the pain.2.  Keep Your Eyes on Jesus: You're there for a reason. Be thankful that God cares for you enough to give you this season of training. Hebrews 12: 2, 113.   Allow God to prune you- Wilderness seasons often precede a time ofmore fruitful ministry or increased authority. Pruning cuts away the good tomake room for the great.John 15:2 Are you surviving the wilderness?

Have you struggled with Mental Health issues? “Elephants in the Room” is an annual sermon series where we face tough topics and sensitive subjects head on. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson applies grace and truth to the topic of mental health. Mental Health is a topic within the church community that is either not talked about at all, or talked about incorrectly. There is a lot of shame and a lot of stigma around mental health issues, especially in church.  1 in 5 US Adults will experience a mental illness this year. Myths about Mental HealthMyth #1: Mental Health issues are a result of secret sin.Saul: 1 Samuel 16:14Nebuchadnezzar: Daniel 4:32 Jesus took the weight of sin and the penalty for sin for us. Galatians 3:13Myth #2: The key to fixing mental health issues is to pray and read your bible more. We have to be careful not to turn a beneficial spiritual practice into legalism. Myth #3: Taking medication is a lack of faithYou can take medication and pray for God to heal you.When neurotransmitter levels are out of whack, we can get out of whack.2. Life Trauma: Stress, being overworked, acute trauma and lack of self-care can contribute to mental health issues.1 Kings 19:4-5 3. Spiritual Oppression:  Demonic oppression is a real cause of mental discomfort and mental illness. When we fail to monitor our spiritual intake, we can open doors to fear and anxiety. Mark 5: 1-7 How can you address your mental health?1. Find Balance: Body, Soul, and Spirit1 Thessalonians 5: 23 “Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.”2. Be open with your struggles.James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 3. Fight for hope. Romans 5:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.Hope is seeing the future that God sees so that you have the strength to keep fighting. How are you handling your mental health?

Gifts of the Spirit are special abilities given to Christians by the Holy Spirit that allow us to partake in supernatural ministry. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how believers can say what God says.  God Speaks!God is not silent. The benefit of being in relationship with the Lord is that he wants to communicate with his children, unlike "mute" idols. 1 Corinthians 12:2 The three speaking gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12: 7-11 are prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues.  Prophecy1.  Prophecy, simply put, is saying what God is saying.2.  When we prophesy, scripture says that we are:•Building up, encouraging and comforting an individual or the church (1 Corinthians 14:3) •We are disclosing the secrets of a person's heart in order for them to believe in God or become closer to God (1 Corinthians 14: 24-25)3.   Prophecy can be foretelling—speaking about the future. (Acts 21: 10-11)  4.   Prophecy can be forthtelling—a proclamation or declaration about what God has done in the past or what He is doing in the present. (Acts 2: 14-41). 5.   A spiritual gift is defined by what it does. If a prophetic word does not build up, encourage, console, or cause someone to grow in their relationship with God, it's not a prophetic word. 6.   Prophecy is not predicting the future. (Acts 16: 16-18)7.   Prophecy is not just correct Information. It's not the information that determines whether it's a prophetic word, it's the spirit behind it.8.   Prophecy is not intuition. We don't prophesy how we feel about a person or their situation.  How To Prophesy 1.   Do submit your prophetic word to other mature believers before presenting it to an individual or group. Paul instructs us to allow others to weigh and judge the prophetic word.  (1 Corinthians 14:29)2.  Do give prophetic words in an orderly way at the right time. (1 Corinthians 14:40) How to Receive a Prophetic Word1.   You should never just receive a word just because someone told you it was from God.2.   You can Accept it, Shelve it, or Receive it (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21)  Tongues and Interpretation1.   Tongues is saying what God is saying in a foreign or unknown language. (1 Corinthians 14:2)2.   God uses another language to get our attention.3.   The gift of tongues, not to be confused with praying in the spirit, should ALWAYS be partnered with interpretation, either by the speaker or someone else.4.  Tongues without interpretation is like a cat walking on a piano. (1 Corinthians 14:7). If done improperly, people may think you're crazy (1 Corinthians 14:23)5.   Interpretation is the supernatural ability to reveal the meaning behind a tongue, not a direct translation. 6.   Prophecy is preferred over tongues…. unless there is an interpretation. TONGUES + INTERPRETATION = PROPHECY (1 Corinthians 14:5) Conclusion1.   You should earnestly desire spiritual gifts, especially prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:39)2.   You can say what God is saying. Final Question:Are you saying what God is saying?

Have you ever had to make a choice between two good options? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how we can choose the God thing over the good thing. Your life is a result of the choices that you make. It's important to make Godly choices. Discernment is not choosing between good and bad. But many times we are faced with decisions involving options that all seem good. Good idea vs. God idea1. A good idea is me-led.A God idea is Spirit-led. God has a perspective on your life that you don't have. God ideas sometimes doesn't make rational sense. 2. A good idea has earthly significance. A God idea has eternal significance. Every time you choose good over God you are delaying your destiny. 3. A good idea uses my effort. A God idea uses God's effort. God would rather build something with you than fix what you built without Him. What is God's will for your life?1. God's General Will: love God and love people - Mark 12:30-312. God's Specific Will: Specific works and ministries that God has planned for you - Ephesians 2:20Discernment is not just know the difference between right and wrong; it's knowing the difference between right and almost right. - Spurgeon1. Pray: Be Proactive not Reactive - Proverbs 3:5-62. Pause: Listen to God's response3. Peace: Follow Peace. Colossians 3:154. Presence: To Know God spend time with Him. 2 Corinthians 1:8, Acts 16:6Are you living in God's “sweet spot” for your life?

I sat down with Eric Robertson co-founder of Pleasant Pictures Movie Club. He's a talented artist, producer and entrepreneur. We discuss the importance of production, setting boundaries to up your output and his journey into the world of music libraries and micro-syncing. I have had the privilege of having a few of my songs featured in PPMC and was honored to be able to spend some quality time with him. I felt inspired, excited and motivated to work after my time with him - I think you will to.  He is also crazy about vintage analog synths which inspired this partner YouTube video, where I take a deep dive into my favorite keyboard, the Elektron Analog Keys. Enjoy Keep Making Noise Y'all!

How does an internet culture affect Christians? What are the effects on children and teens? Are you allowing nternet culture to distract you from your relationship with Jesus? How can you protect yourself and your family? Eric Robertson, VFC’s Student Ministry Director, shares the problematic effects of internet culture on youth and adults. We are called to be set apart. There are things that may be legal, and may be culturally acceptable, but not beneficial. Sampson is an example of someone who permitted himself to embrace his culture when he was called to be set apart. The internet values popularity over truth. The internet distracts us from real life. Has internet distraction caused you to leave God on “read”?

Dr. Eric Robertson, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, is the director of Graduate PT Education for Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, where he directs the orthopaedic residency and orthopaedic manual physical therapy fellowship programs.

In this episode, we discuss: -The evolution of residency programs -The future standards for residency and fellowship training -Sustainable business and educational models in the face of growing student debt -Is it ok to be a generalist in physical therapy? -And so much more!   Residency education covers a wide variety of clinical settings and patient populations in comparison to fellowship programs. Eric stresses, “You see a lot more specialties represented.”   There has been growing interest among new graduates to hone their clinical skills as Eric has found that, “People who are graduating PT school are a lot more aware of the role of residency as part of their clinical and professional development.”   Orthopedic residencies are facing new challenges as Eric believes, “The supply seems to be exceeding the demand.”   There is not yet a clear delineation between residency and fellowship programs and their unique challenges as Eric states, “Let’s talk about residency programs as its own bucket and let’s talk about fellowship programs as its own bucket.”   For more information on Eric: Eric Robertson, PT, DPT APTA spokesman Eric Robertson is director of Kaiser Permanente Northern California Graduate Physical Therapy Education, and associate professor of clinical physical therapy at the University of Southern California.

Eric Robertson is the Southern Political Director of Working Families Party in this episode we talk Stacey Abrams, building coalitions to win elections and the fights that matter, and taking on the GOP. Follow him at: https://twitter.com/eric4themany Get involved with Working Families Party: http://workingfamilies.org/take-action/

Recently I sat down with Eric Robertson, Political Director of Teamsters Local 728 and a Vice President of Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council. Eric and I discussed the 2018 Governor's race as well as some of the criticism and critique of candidate Stacey Abrams. Eric provided his thoughts on how best to build a winning coalition in the Peach State as we look toward the first Statewide for Democrats in over a decade.

Eric Robertson does a deep dive into Georgia Politics, particularly focusing on the race for Governor. Despite a recent poll showing Stacey Abrams leading her opponent by double digits in the primary, there are whispers of her not being "electable." While few will dare raise this concern in public, it made for an interesting conversation about race, politics, and Democrats organizing to win statewide.

In this Monday, August 14th episode, we’ve got a story for you. There are new residency and fellowship standards, and not everyone agrees. Correspondent Emma Lam reports.

Thank you for listening to the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast! LIVE from St. Petersburg, Florida post the Graham Sessions, Dr. Eric Robertson joins me to discuss population health! Dr. Eric Robertson, the founder of PTThinkTank.com and PTCoop.org, is the Director of the Kaiser Permanente Physical Therapy Fellowship in Advanced Manual Therapy in Northern California, and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso. He specializes in orthopaedic manual physical therapy, radiology, evidence-based practice, and the impact of technology on healthcare. In this episode, we discuss: -Population health: The management of total health across different groups and the life spectrum -Why prevention should be a primary focus in healthcare -How population health addresses important objectives such as health literacy, resource management and access to care -And so much more!   Innovators in healthcare reduce costs and improve quality care by intervening before complex conditions arise. Eric notes, “When you look at groups and systems that focus on population health by and large they are almost always focused on prevention.”   Physical therapists should start to think beyond their traditional role in the healthcare system and treat patients as a whole and expand their realm of care. Eric believes physical therapists should, “Conceptualize yourself as a primary care provider.”   Management decisions in population health are aligned to “[help] the patient enable their own pathway to health.” Eric believes prioritizing patient self-efficacy leads to better treatment outcomes and cost reduction.   For more information on Eric: PT Think Tank’s founder, Eric is the Director of the Kaiser Permanente Hayward Fellowship in Advanced Manual Therapy in Northern California and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, where he teaching musculoskeletal physical therapy management.

Welcome back fellow boozers! I am, of course, your Supreme Ayahtollah for Life of the Booze Committee, Eric Robertson. It’s been a while for reasons that we’ll explain later in the episode. I’m calling this one bourbon boogaloo 2.2 because there was a truly epic 5 person, 10 bourbon tasting which was recorded and documented, but was unfortunately totally lost. We’ll refer back to that marvelous experience, but for this round, we have 6 bourbons, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Rare Breed from Wild Turkey, Heaven Hill’s Elijah Craig, Upstart Town Branch, and the well regarded Woodford Reserve, which had been crowned World Champion bourbon in the lost episode. We hope you enjoy!

A writer for "The New Yorker" since 1992, Susan Orlean is partuclarly admired for her book "The Orchid Thief," the basis of the movie "Adaptation," in which she became the only New Yorker staffer to be played by Meryl Streep. Her latest book is a biography of the dog actor Rin Tin Tin, who I believe was also played by Meryl Streep. On this episode, recorded on stage at 92YTribeca, we are joined by the brilliant bluegrass musicians Eric Robertson on Mandolin and Duncan Wickel on fiddle.

Ask and ye shall receive. Today is Durianrider day on the podcast. And he has a message for you:Carb the f$%@ up!Aka Harley Johnstone, “Durianrider” is a self-avowed health vigilante committed to increasing public awareness of the benefits of a high carbohydrate, low-fat whole food plant-based lifestyle. A lifestyle modeled upon Doug Graham's book The 80/10/10 Diet*, or what is more commonly referred to as fruitarian — a dietary protocol based predominantly upon eating copious amounts of fruit. Let's just say it's not uncommon for Harley to proudly devour upwards of 70 bananas a day.In this regard, Harley is not alone. Although still on the fringe in terms of mainstream awareness and popularity, the 80/10/10 program is one that is gaining popularity (check out my podcast interviews with Michael Arnstein and Mac Danzig for more).But what distinguishes Harley from fellow healthy lifestyle advocates is his unique, personal style.Outspoken and unequivocal, Harley doesn't mince words. At times acerbic, and often on the perimeter of completely outlandish, Harley is a lightning rod for controversy — a role he relishes. Proponents of “fad diets” hawking unhealthy and unethical programs or snake oil products get called out. Taken to the mat. And on occasion, name-calling is involved.And don't even get him started on how he feels about the currently über-popular low-carb / no-carb / ketosis-based diets pushing high protein and copious amounts of fat.His fans are passionate. His critics equally so.But make no mistake — behind the larger-than-life personality, Harley is in many ways a regular guy leading a simple and active life, committed to helping people feel as good as he does, primarily via his YouTube channel. A guy frustrated by all the confusing and misleading health, diet and fitness information penetrating the internet, he's like Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in the 1976 movie “Network” screaming, “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!”Durianrider may not be everyone's cup of tea. I get it. So does he. And he's fine with that. But regardless of any preconceived opinions you may harbor, I implore you to listen with an open mind.His message is powerful. And for the record – I like the guy.I hope you enjoy the show!For some background on the Harley ethos, check out this short video: Why is Durianrider So Aggressive?SHOW NOTES* CrossFit's Dirty Little Secret, by Eric Robertson (via Medium): https://medium.com/p/97bcce70356d* Book: The 80/10/10 Diet* by Douglas Graham* Durianrider Blog: http://durianrider.com/* 30 Bananas a Day Website: http://www.30bananasaday.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eric and I discussed big picture issues and policies affecting physical therapists now. We talked about therapy caps via insurance companies, lack of true direct access in most states, and lack of the use of technology in the profession…amongst other issues. This was a fun discussion and Eric is a real pro!  We also had […]

In this episode I discuss the recent Dr. Oz episode that featured “cutting edge” treatments for low back pain. I explained how those treatment were really not “cutting edge” or valid and then gave some suggestions as to what should have been on that list. I quoted the work of Eric Robertson, PT, DPT, OCS, […]
