Seeing God Clearly: How James Redefines Sin, Anger, and Spiritual Growth | Tell Me More show art Seeing God Clearly: How James Redefines Sin, Anger, and Spiritual Growth | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

Sin begins when we see God wrongly. In this episode, Pastors Whit and Gabe George walk through James 1:13–21, showing how maturity doesn’t come from behavior modification but from a heart that receives and trusts the Father who gives every good and perfect gift. When we see God clearly, we stop aiming at the wrong targets, let go of anger and judgment, and allow Him to reshape our desires.   Show notes: Check out their weekend messages: Whit’s Message: Gabe's Message:   In this episode, Whit mentions a prayer attributed to Dr. Samuel Johnson: Almighty and most merciful...

How to Pursue Intimacy and Strengthen Marriage in Every Season | Life in Motion show art How to Pursue Intimacy and Strengthen Marriage in Every Season | Life in Motion

In Motion Podcast

As we wrap up a summer of candid conversations on intimacy, marriage, and sex, we’re looking back at what we’ve learned along the way. This season has challenged us to see intimacy not as something that “just happens,” but as something we intentionally pursue, protect, and nurture. In this episode, Heather and Jamie talk about the reality of distractions, shifting seasons of life, and the need to take ownership of our connection with our spouse. Marriage is always in motion—and so is intimacy.   Show notes: If you missed an episode, find them here:   Book Recommendations:...

The Joy of Endurance | Tell Me More show art 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. ...

Settled in Christ: Identity Lessons from James 1:1 | Tell Me More show art Settled in Christ: Identity Lessons from James 1:1 | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

Every day, over 400 million terabytes of information flood the internet. Knowledge isn’t scarce—wisdom is. Countless “ways to live” compete for attention, yet James points us to the simplicity of being settled in Christ. Jesus gives the truth about who we are, freeing us from the noise and grounding our identity in Him.   In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Angela Ekstrum explore identity in Christ vs. cultural identity, the authority of Scripture, and the power of community in forming us.    Show notes: Listen to the message | An Invitation to Christian Living (for...

“God designed you—and He cares about your body.” That simple truth forms the foundation of a powerful and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Kerri Anthony, a board-certified OBGYN and menopause specialist.   Along the way, we dismantle myths, normalize conversations that have been taboo in the Church for too long, and encourage women to take ownership of their health and well-being.

Out of Hiding: Healing Sexual Shame | Life in Motion show art Out of Hiding: Healing Sexual Shame | Life in Motion

In Motion Podcast

In a culture overflowing with sexual messages, many of us are quietly carrying questions, confusion, or even shame around the topic of sex. It’s no secret this conversation still feels a little taboo, even among Christians. But Scripture isn’t silent on sex—and we shouldn’t be either.   Here’s the truth: shame keeps us from the good things God has for us.   In this episode, Heather and Jamie explore the roots of sexual shame and how we can move from hiding to healing—stepping into the light to be fully known and restored.   Show Notes:  Book Recommendations: ...

From Compromise to Community: The Invitation of Judges | Tell Me More show art 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 show art 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 show art 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...

Justification: A Finished Work | Tell Me More show art Justification: A Finished Work | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

Justification is what God has done for you, said about you, and declared over you. Nothing needs to be added, it is complete. But for many, what Jesus has done sits in an invisible world that you feel you cannot see or access. So, how do you begin to apply this finished work in your lives?   Show Notes: Whit's Message: The Doctrine of Justification by Grace & Faith Ethan's Message: The Miracle of Justification     Great Doctrines of the Bible - Martyn Lloyd-Jones Dynamics of Spiritual Life: An Evangelical Theology of Renewal - Richard F.

Faith is not passive—it’s an active trust in the character and promises of God. It enables us to endure when things don’t make sense, to trust in the waiting, and to walk through difficulty knowing that God is forging something deeper in us.

 

In this episode, Pastor Willie George and Pastor Whit George explore where faith originates from, how God speaks, and how respond in faith.
