The Joy of Endurance | Tell Me More
In Motion Podcast
Life doesn’t stop handing out trials—but James invites us to see them differently. He begins his letter with four surprising words: “Count it all joy.” Not because suffering feels good, but because endurance through trials produces something lasting: a deeper, steadier faith. Joy, James says, isn’t tied to circumstances—it’s rooted in the confidence that God is at work in every situation, shaping us into who we were meant to be. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse unpack James 1:2–12 and the true meaning of faith, doubt, and joy through endurance. ...

From Compromise to Community: The Invitation of Judges | Tell Me More
In Motion Podcast
Let’s be honest—Judges is one of those books in the Bible that makes you pause and say, “Wait… what?” The stories are full of deeply flawed people doing questionable things. But they also hold up a mirror to our own human condition. They reveal our drift, our compromise, our self-reliance. And they whisper a question that echoes throughout the Old Testament: Who will save us? In this episode, Whit George and Angela Ekstrum what the book of Judges shows us about the state of our hearts and the faithfulness of God. Show notes: In this episode, they reference...

From Shame to Renewal: Rethinking Sex | Life in Motion
In Motion Podcast
What do you do with a gift you never really learned how to use? We often treat sex like the expensive china we registered for but never use—beautiful in theory, awkward in practice. But sex isn’t just skin-deep. In this episode, Heather and Jamie talked about how our minds—and marriages—need renewing. Jamie shares the invisible legacy of trauma passed down through her family, while Heather opens up about the pressure to “perform” intimacy without ever being taught what godly sexual intimacy actually looks like. Let’s renew our minds together! Show Notes: Book...

Sanctification: The Forgotten Half of Salvation | Tell Me More
In Motion Podcast
We often frame salvation around a single emotional moment: Did you pray the prayer? But that question doesn’t show up in Scripture. American Christianity has often reduced the gospel to an afterlife insurance policy: believe in Jesus and go to heaven when you die. But if your concept of heaven doesn’t require Jesus to be there, you’ve misunderstood what Jesus came to do. In this episode, Pastors Whit and Lee explore justification and sanctification and how God is not just after our destination; He’s after our transformation. Show notes: Check Out the Message: Finding the...
info_outlineFriendship in marriage is not optional; it’s essential. Without it, you’re missing out on the fullness of joy in your relationships. Just like Christ came near to us, we must come near to each other, being vulnerable, humble, and committed to seeking each other’s glory. This is what makes our marriages—and our Christ communities—truly flourish.
In this episode, Whit and Lyndsey explore the picture Jesus gives us of true friendship, what it looks like to step into each other’s world, appreciating each other’s differences, and the power of vulnerability.
