What’s in your hand? In a world where we can drift toward either helplessness or self-reliance, Brian Jobe, Church on the Move's Chief Operating Officer, and Whit George, our Lead Pastor, explore the difference between what we can control, what we can influence, and what ultimately belongs to God.   While we often want immediate results, God is far more interested in shaping our character and growing us through faithful obedience, one small step at a time.   Whether you're navigating relationships, leadership, a difficult season, or simply wondering what God is asking of you...

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...

Who are you becoming? And who are you following?   For the first-ever live episode of Tell Me More, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse explore the contrast between Abraham and Lot—and the question behind both lives: What’s your strongest influence?   Abraham isn’t perfect, but he keeps moving toward God. Lot settles for what looks good in the moment. Through their stories, Whit and Ethan unpack the tension between grace and consequences, why faith is about progress not perfection, and what it means to live with open hands in a temporary world.

Genesis 16 reminds us that God’s promises don’t fail—our patience often does. When the waiting feels too long, we’re tempted to take control and force outcomes.   In this episode, Pastors Whit George, Blake Zimmerman, and Angela Ekstrum explore how even in human missteps, God is still at work, forming hearts, shaping character, and advancing His plan to redeem all mankind. He is not just fulfilling dreams; He is forming people.   Show notes: Weekend Message Will You Wait on the Lord?

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.
