In Motion Podcast

For many Christians, the command to "pray without ceasing" feels more intimidating than inspiring. After all, most of us already struggle to maintain a consistent prayer life. We know prayer matters. We know we need it. Yet if we're honest, prayer often feels difficult, awkward, or disappointing.   Maybe the problem isn't our effort, but our understanding of prayer.   In this episode, our Lead Pastor, Whit George, and Spiritual Formation Pastor, Casey Shirley, explore what it really means to bring ourselves before the Lord.   Show Notes: Listen to the Weekend Message:   In...

In Motion Podcast

There comes a point in life when you realize spiritual growth isn't a straight line. You imagine that after enough years of following Jesus, you'll arrive at a place where the lessons are learned, the struggles are settled, and faith becomes easy. But that's not how the journey unfolds. Instead, faith often feels like a series of beginnings, wildernesses, and renewals, each one drawing us deeper into relationship with God. In this episode, Heather and Jamie explore how life transitions often mirror the stages of our spiritual lives and take an honest look at the ways God continues to shape us...

How Do We Use Power? (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More show art How Do We Use Power? (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

In a world of extremes, it's easy to believe that power is bad. Our cultures tendency is to reject words like "dominion," or "authority," but those words are in scripture, and they're a part of our lives. So, what do we do with power? How do we use power and how do we interact with those in power? In this episode, Whit George, Lead Pastor of Church on the Move and Seth Swindall, Senior Pastor of Church on the Move West, discuss power dynamics and how we steward authority with Biblical wisdom.   Show notes: Whit's Message: https://youtu.be/xVx1lAi8LDU Seth's Message:...

Following God One Step at a Time (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More show art Following God One Step at a Time (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

We often want God to give us the whole map when He's usually offering the next step. That's how walking works. You don't arrive at a destination in a single leap. You get there one step at a time. But the good news is God doesn't merely send directions. He walks with us.   In this episode, our Founding Pastor Willie George and Lead Pastor Whit George explore how steps with God are small, specific, and doable.   Show notes: Check out the Weekend Message: The Lord Leads in Steps, Not Leaps

The Difference Between Information and Wisdom (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More show art The Difference Between Information and Wisdom (Life Lessons) | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

We live in a world overflowing with information. Every day we are bombarded with articles, podcasts, videos, opinions, updates, and algorithms that seem to know exactly what we want to hear. Yet for all our access to information, we seem to be increasingly unsure how to live. We know more than ever, but wisdom often feels harder to find.   The reason is simple: information is not the same as wisdom. Wisdom is understanding how God designed the world and learning to live within that design. It is seeing life through God's perspective and allowing His truth to shape our decisions,...

In Motion Podcast

Life is full of transitions, and every new beginning comes with something left behind. Whether it's marriage, parenthood, an empty nest, or a new season, change often brings both joy and grief. Instead of resisting those emotions, God invites us to acknowledge them, process them with Him, and trust that He's using every transition to shape us into the likeness of Christ. In this episode, Jamie and Heather explore the joy, loss, and growth that come with life's transitions. Plus, they unpack the value of learning from those who have walked the road before us and how the Church is meant to help...

Friendship was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be transformative. And often, the transformation doesn’t come from finding better people—it comes from learning how to forgive the imperfect ones already in your life.   In this month’s episode, we explored a topic most of us would rather avoid: forgiveness. Through one deeply personal story, we were reminded: forgiveness isn’t optional—it’s the doorway to the kind of relationships that actually last.   Show Notes: In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss chapter four of the book Made for People by Justin...

Friendship 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.
