Bringing Worship to Life with Andrew Johnson

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

01/18/24 • 47 min

In this special episode, we discuss what it means to bring worship and music together as one! My friend, Andrew Jonson gives two powerful truths on how to bring our personal to a place of authenticity and truth. Here are some great moments from our talk:

"The first word and last word of affective music ministry is communication. I want to be able to take the variety of thoughts and phrases, musical notes, pitches, dynamics and key signatures that not only make the song sound good, but communicate a message. We attach our message to the melody.
"And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD" (Psalm 40:3).

"I'm not singing about the old life anymore. I'm not singing about selfish things. I'm singing about Jesus new in subject, new in sound. I sing from a redeemed sound."

At The Dinner Table

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

02/25/21 • 18 min

The dinner table is a very special place in the Robertson household. It’s a place of warm food, meaningful conversations, and a time of prayer. It is part of my day that I can unwind with those I love, and I truly look forward to it. But I often think about what the dinner table looks like through the eyes of the average American home.

A study by New York University Langone Health found that, in the past 20 years, the frequency of family dinners has declined by 33%.
In addition, a recent poll by YouGov found that 62% of parents with children under 18 wish they had family dinners “much more often” or “somewhat more often.

The fast-paced American culture has often shoved aside family priorities and thrown away any sense of meaningful and healthy conversation. The table has become a decorative household item versus a wholesome desk of fellowship and support. I think that the benefits of being together at the dinner table far outweigh some of the “inconveniences.”

According to The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, children who share family dinners three or more times per week:

Are less likely to be overweight
Are more likely to eat healthy food
Perform better academically
Are less likely to engage in risky behaviors (drugs, alcohol, sexual activity)
Have better relationships with their parents

There are tremendous benefits in prioritizing the family table. Have you noticed that Jesus had special moments with His disciples at the table? It was in the last hours of His life that He chose the table in the upper room to commune with His followers and share His heart with them. It was there that He broke the bread and commanded, “this do in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19).

Jesus invites you to pull up a chair at His table. He wants your fellowship and longs to give you the nourishment that you need for your journey. We have been talking in the Back To Basics series about our alone time with God. We looked at how to make the most of our devotions and how to dwell in the secret place and how to keep the door of fellowship open to Christ.

Imagine that! Jesus Christ at your table! What a thought the King of Kings wishes to be my honored guest. It has the idea that Jesus sits down at our table and lets us be the host. We spread the table and pour out our hearts to Him--praise, thanksgiving, honor, and petitions.

But then, it gets even better. He says, “...and he with me.” This holds the idea that the roles are switched. I am no longer the host, but the guest. He is the host. He is the one that spreads the table. He spills out His heart to us.

God gifts us with His heart in written form. His Word bears the truth of His character and leads us to a place of repentance.

But I think we often hav

Leadership 101

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

12/02/21 • 23 min

My heart truly hurts for many American families that live every day in dire need of biblical leadership. For several years, I’ve served in youth ministry, conferences, Christian camps and schools and I can say without hesitation that many struggles of today’s generation are a pure result of a lack of biblical authority.
Take a look at these stats:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 19.5 million children, more than 1 in 4, live without a father in the home.
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

According to Barna Group:

80% of pastors are depressed
94% feel pressure to have a perfect family
81% has no time for spouse
80% says ministry has negative impact on their family
81% say they don’t have a close friend
Most pastors juggle 16 tasks weekly

That data proves it. Leadership has severe consequences, good or bad. In a world that is begging for guidance, we must claim the Biblical approach to leading our homes, churches, and businesses.
From Psalm 101, notice:
David's Focus
David's Family
David's Friends
David's Fight

5 Tips for Controlling Your Cravings

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

03/29/24 • 15 min

“I’ve got it all under control!” Famous last words, right? This is a dangerous thing to say in many situations but especially when our cravings are involved. I believe one of the greatest enemies of fulfilling our God-given purpose is an uncontrolled appetite. It’s the inability to tell ourselves no when it comes to worldly pleasures. And I’m afraid this even involves food. It is the subtle sin of gluttony that opens the gate to many other fleshly indulgences and strips us of God’s best for our lives.

So, how can you take control of your appetite and cultivate a healthy relationship with food? Here are a few practical things I have found that helps me when I want to overindulge.

The Nicodemus In Me

We open to John chapter three with a man who is desperate to meet a very busy teacher. But I love how Jesus is open and willing to leave the ninety and nine, so save just one. Think of all Jesus was up to in Jerusalem--miracles, messages, town’s people constantly trying to get His attention. But in the midst of it all His focus turned to one that was longing for answers. A Pharisee of all people, named Nicodemus.

Nicodemus was a “man of the Pharisees...a ruler of the Jews.” (V.1). The law was his life. Tradition was his meaning. The Pharisees were the strictest sect of Judaism and known for their piety and commitment to oral laws. They were rigidly legalistic in their interpretation of the Torah, which was a recipe for mechanical and heartless religion.
But before we point the finger at someone like Nicodemus, I think it is important to note the first three words of the chapter three, “There was a man...” Through all of the attire of a “master of Israel--through all the knowledge of the law--he was still just a man. He was a man like you and I that didn’t have the answers and desperately needed Jesus.

If we are honest with ourselves we all have a little bit of “Pharisee” in us, don’t we? We all have the attitude of self-exaltation and pride waiting to pear its ugly head from time to time. Here are a few ways I think us--even as God’s children--can favor the attitudes of the Pharisees:

We value Rules more than Relationship

One of the most dangerous things about the Pharisees was that they externalized religion. They tried to make a work of the heart into a work of the hands. This is why many of them put so much emphasis on the rules of the law and rejected a relationship with Jesus...
We are a friend to friends, not a friend to sinners

You’ve heard the phrase, “It’s us four and no more!” That is the attitude of many of God’s children. That’s why we are called God’s children, because we often act like it! We like our clicks and little groups and express no interest in allowing outsiders to be a part. We like the Pharisees often times turn our heads at those who are not just like us. And every time we do, we are putting to death every chance of Christ to live in and though us...
We magnify other faults and minimize our own

We certainly love the spotlight don’t we? The glamour of being the center of attention is all too exhilarating for our pride. But when it comes to our faults and failures, we’d rather someone else steal the show! The thought of the world seeing our “dirty laundry” motivates a stealthy act to hide in shadows and put someone else in the spotlight...
We trust the knowledge of men over God’s wisdom

We live in a s

You Have Been Lied To

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

10/20/22 • 16 min

Have you ever been to New York City? If you have, you most likely know of a little suburb called Chinatown. Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that attracts many tourists with its Southeast Asian restaurants and shops. I remember my visit to Chinatown as a senior in high school; and I can assure you, it was an interesting experience.

I had heard word from others who had visited Chinatown that the venders were, shall I say, a bit on the “aggressive side.” So, I thought I’d have a little fun and maybe come out with a bargain. I walked into a shop with a group of friends, and I heard a man say, “Psssst, come here..."

Ye Must Be Born Again

The Faith, Family & Focus Podcast

06/17/21 • 14 min

I have thoroughly enjoyed our study of one of the greatest chapters in the entire Bible--John 3! It has been refreshing and simply helpful for my heart. We come now to the crux of it all--the main message Jesus brings to Nicodemus: The Man with Many Questions. His words are concise--“Ye must be born again...” (v.7)
But why did Jesus use the picture of birth to help Nicodemus understand how to be saved? Here are a few thoughts of why I believe the illustration of a new birth resonates with the hearts of people who have questions about salvation. It may answers some questions you have about salvation, or prove to be an effective witnessing tool when sharing the Gospel with an unbeliever.
Birth is the beginning of a life
From the very moment of conception a new life begins. It develops for some time in the womb and then the labor pains begin. After a while a baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut, and a new journey on earth has begun. It’s an exciting thing isn’t it?...
Birth is a familiar picture to all
Everyone can relate to birth. We have all experienced it and we can all understand this monumental aspect of humanity...
There are two parents
Just like in life, there are two parents to every child that is born again through faith in Jesus Christ. First, the Spirit of God.
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5).
The Holy Spirit convicts someone of their sin and shows them their need of a Savior. (Jon16:7-11). It is through the Spirit that a man is drawn to the truth of God and brought to repentance.
Which brings us to the second parent of the new birth--The Word of God...
And once a part of the family of God, you take on a new nature of your parents. 2 Peter 1:4 sates, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
As one preacher said, “You receive a new start with a new heart!”
Birth causes travail
There is no question at all that the pains of child-birth are excruciating. I’ve watched my wife give birth to our precious daughter and I can certainly say my wife has a determination like no other! The pain and mental stress of it all were difficult at the time, but the joy that came out of that was worth it all!
It is much the same in regards to being born again. Much travail and agony was suffered so that the joy of a new life could be made possible...
Jesus endured the cross for YOU! It is through his great suffering that redemption was made available to all that believe.
