Welcome to Guarding the Good Deposit — a podcast about contending for the faith in a time when Christendom is fading.

In 2 Timothy 1:14, Paul urges Timothy to “Guard the good deposit.” This wasn’t just advice for a young leader in the first century. It’s a charge for the church in every generation — including ours.

So the question is… what exactly is that deposit? Is it just a set of beliefs or a doctrinal position? Or does it refer to the teaching, the patterns, the apostolic tradition, and the way of life that came from Christ and was passed down through His apostles?

In our quickly changing world today, this question matters now more than ever.

Guarding the Good Deposit is a podcast rooted in the patterns of Acts and the Epistles. We’re exploring how the early church was established, how the gospel expanded, and how those biblical patterns can still shape our lives and church families today.

I’m Matt Andersen. And you’re invited to join me and my co-host, Scott Canion — for Guarding the Good Deposit.

Our first series focuses on the book of Acts — and all that Christ continued to do and teach through the work of the Spirit and through His faithful followers.

Join us for Guarding the Good Deposit —Where we’re diving into the patterns of Acts and the Epistles to imagine what a renewed church could look like today.
