Diving into Deep Waters

What is a TED talk? By definition it’s a lecture but don’t get scared it also means “ideas worth spreading!” So let’s talk about how to be rooted, and built up in Him and the goal of this talk is it will be worth taking and spreading to those around you!

Erin stumbled across some paperwork hidden in her filing cabinet that when she opened it brought floods of emotions. Sometimes we face emotions that we were over and done with but here they are staring us in the face. Erin talks about how to deal with that, and how to allow God to use it to remind us of who He is and who we are to Him.

Have you ever questioned why someone wouldn’t want to be apart of your growth? It’s easy to start questioning ourselves when we get ignored or passed by. If you know this feeling your not alone and Erin can relate. Join her as she shares how she was challenged to maybe see it from a different perspective and maybe even a blessing.

Whether we have a green thumb in the natural or not spiritually speaking we are constantly planting seeds. The scary part is we reap what we sow. So with that in mind maybe we need to look at how, what and where we are sowing it. Put your gardening gloves on and let’s get to planting!

I am not good at waiting! I’m even worse when something I’m waiting for is delayed. It leaves me impatient, frustrated and questioning the whole process. Can anyone relate? If you can then this podcast is for you. Join me as I share what God has been teaching me about the waiting room. We can wait together!!

It’s a new year, a new me, a new everything! Have you said any of these things about “2023”? We put so many expectations on entering a new year and are so quick to discard the year we just left. Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the old year. Let’s dive into “2023” but let’s see what is valuable from “2022”.

It hit me as I was reading the account in Luke 1 that Mary the mother of Jesus, had some amazing characteristics. So much so I felt we needed to dive into who she was and what we could learn from her as she was told the news that she had been chosen to give birth to the Messiah. Join me for this special Christmas episode.

We all love a leader, until we don’t. We can get behind them until we can’t. The moment we disagree with their leadership, or their decisions we can easily fall into the trap of dissension. Miriam and Aaron didn’t like Moses decision so they began to complain, complaining led to God hearing, God confronted and His presence left them. I don’t know about you but I need Gods presence in my life. Join...

Thanksgiving is a time for delicious food, family get togethers, football and stretchy pants. But we shouldn't stop there, it should more importantly be a time of taking in the moments given to us, expressing our praise and thanking Him in all circumstances. Join Erin in learning how to be a thanks giver.

Hearsay simply put is we hear it and then we say it! Usually with little thought of the damage that could be done by sharing what we’ve heard. It’s not a complicated definition but it can cause so much damage to others involved in the hearsay. Also Erin talks about mustard…. Yup you read that right… mustard! Join her for this weeks episode!

Have you ever considered that the reason you lack of follow through is you have a root problem of disobedience? Now before you go making excuses about your own disobedience lets dive into Saul making a whole lot of excuses why he didn’t fully obey Gods orders. Let’s just say we don’t want to be like Saul!

Congratulations to those who listened to Giant slayer and slayed their giants! You’ve more than likely mounted your trophy and have quite the epic tale to share. But is that the end of the giants in the land? Have you ever considered that Goliath had offspring and relatives? Maybe it’s time to dust your sword off and keep doing some slaying! Dive in and let’s talk about follow through.

Have you ever wondered why you can pick things back up so easily that you surrendered to God. This seems to be an issue for Erin personally and quite annoying to find herself holding the situation again that she had surrendered! That was until her friend sent her a verse that changed how she was laying it down. If you're struggling with this as well dive in and let’s see what scriptures shows us t...

Can Deception lead to good news? You might be thinking how does one even ask that question! The Gibeonites found in Joshua 9 gives us some clarity on this possibility and we can also look at Rahab the Harlot who has some things to share with us. Let dive into what we can learn from these accounts in scripture and how things can look one way but with God there can be good news!

Things are going pretty well for Joshua the leader of the Israelites. He’s crossed into the promise land, conquered Jericho and in comparison to those big things, needs to make a small decision to make a treaty with some foreigners. Seems simple enough, or is it? Maybe not because Joshua finds himself in a heap of trouble all because he “didn’t inquire of the Lord!” Sound familiar? Chances are it...

Moses sends 12 spies into the land that God has promised the Israelites. I’m sure they all couldn’t wait to hear what they were going to acquire. Ten of them at first, report how good it is but it quickly turned into that they could not attain it. So much panic set in they were unable to hear the good other two guys report that God was going to give them the land despite how overwhelming it seemed...

Goliath is a giant who is quite intimidating! There he stand at 9ft tall, covered in bronze, yelling insults day after day. The Israelite army is left feeling intimidated and dismayed. Sound familiar at all? We may not face physical giants but we sure do have ones that stand in opposition to who God has created us to be! We find ourselves immobilizing as he hurled insults at us day after day. The...

We don’t always see how God is weaving the circumstances of our lives together until we take a step back and SURPRISE it all makes sense. As Erin was putting this podcast together she realized God was exceeding anything she could ask, think, or imagine.

We’ve all heard the saying, “You don’t appreciate it till it’s gone.” Erin found that to be true after her Mammaw Barb passed away. While reflecting on her life she realized her gift of gab was far deeper than just talking. Dive into to hear what we can all learn from Mammaw Barb.

Erin takes that opportunity after running a mud run to share on how the lessons she learned parallel with spiritual lessons. Hopefully you can apply these lessons to your life as well. No running or mud required!

If one is never faced with a moment that presents opportunity for humbleness, then one will never know the state of one’s heart. Being humbled is never fun and especially when it hits you upside the head. For Erin that happens not once but twice! Join her as she shares her journey of learning less of herself produces more of Him. Connect with Erin on instagram @erinmicheller

Joshua picked twelve men to pick up a rock in the Jordan river as they passed through it. Each rock representing the twelve tribes as a memorial of God stopping the water so they could walk through. He then gave instructions on what every Israelite was to remember about this event. Building memorials was important to God so let’s dive in to see how to apply this to our lives!

You never know what is going to spark a topic for a podcast. This week Erin’s workout made her dive into the thought of what the consequences are for breaking commitments to ourselves and others! Join us as we take a look at Peter and what we can learn from his broken promises to himself and God.

Did you know that you can leave an impression on someone in as little as a few seconds? So with that fact in mind let’s ask ourselves, what kind of impression are we leaving? Does it matter if we make a good impression? Should we care how others perceive us? Erin dives into these questions and challenges herself and you to maybe think a little differently and deeper on this topic. Get connected on...
