In Episode 2 of our Guided Prayer Podcast, we slow down with Psalm 25 and a time of worship, asking God to teach us His ways and lead us in His truth. Centered on John 13, this episode reflects on Jesus washing His disciples’ feet—an intimate act of love on the night before His crucifixion. As Easter approaches, we’re invited to consider not only what it means to sit at Jesus’ feet, but what it means to let Him come to ours. Are there places in your life you’d rather keep untouched? Through Scripture, song, and guided reflection, this episode creates space to surrender those hidden...

In Motion Podcast

In the weeks leading up to Easter, we’re releasing prayer podcasts designed to help you slow down and encounter God. Each episode weaves together Scripture, worship, and guided prayer—creating space to reflect and respond. This week, we read from Psalm 40 and John 12, reflecting on Mary’s costly worship and the “fragrance” our lives carry. What aroma are you bringing into the spaces you enter? As we approach Easter, consider what Jesus may be inviting you to lay at His feet—and how time with Him shapes the way you live, love, and lead.

The Gift of Feelings: Emotional Awareness & Spiritual Formation | Tell Me More show art The Gift of Feelings: Emotional Awareness & Spiritual Formation | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

What if the breakthrough you’re praying for begins with learning how to name what you feel? Your spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are inseparable. In this episode, Whit George, Casey Shirley, and Angela Ekstrum explore why feelings are not obstacles to spiritual growth—but essential to it. They unpack the difference between emotions and feelings,  and what it really means to stay relational under pressure. Emotions will either move us away from relationship or deeper into it. The question is: will we let them lead us toward connection with God and others?   Show...

From Wanting Change to Becoming New: The Power of Spiritual Practices | Tell Me More show art From Wanting Change to Becoming New: The Power of Spiritual Practices | Tell Me More

In Motion Podcast

Real change doesn’t happen through inspiration alone—it happens through formation.The bridge between wanting to change and actually becoming new is found in practices: small, repeatable rhythms that shape our desires and direction over time.  In this episode, Whit George, Blake Zimmerman, and Blaine Bartel explore how spiritual practices are counter-formation, slow and often resistant, but deeply powerful. As we commit to faithful practices—body, mind, and soul—we learn to trust the process, resist the path of least resistance, and allow Jesus to do His quiet, transforming work...

Life doesn’t stop changing just because we grow up. As traditions shift, kids become adults, and seasons evolve, we’re invited to hold our expectations with open hands. In this episode, Jamie and Heather reflect on navigating changing family rhythms, letting go of “how it’s always been,” and discovering that even ordinary things—like cleaning a closet or showing up for a friend—can be deeply spiritual.   As we step into 2026, the invitation is simple: make room for new memories, lift one another’s burdens, and don’t try to do life alone.

What are you really hungry for? In John 6, Jesus calls Himself the Bread of Life—not just Savior, but the fulfillment of our deepest desires. In this episode, Whit George, Casey Shirley, and Lee Martin explore idolatry, misordered love, and why true life isn’t found in optimizing ourselves, but in being satisfied by God. What if believing He could truly satisfy you changed everything?   Show notes:   Listen to Pastor Whit’s message: What’s Keeping You from Life to the Full?   In the episode they talk about attachment theory.

One of the most difficult tensions in conversations about healing, mental health, and spiritual growth is learning how to hold two things at the same time: compassion for what’s real and responsibility for what’s within our control.   In this episode, Whit sits down with Jamie Jobe and Valerie Isaacs, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, reflective consultant, and mental health trainer.   Jamie shares openly from her own journey with depression, Valerie brings language to the patterns that shape us long before we realize they’re there, and Whit grounds the conversation...

Parenting Is Sanctification in Disguise | Life in Motion show art Parenting Is Sanctification in Disguise | Life in Motion

In Motion Podcast

Parenting isn’t just about shaping our kids—it’s about shaping us. Through boundaries, consistency, repair, and everyday inconveniences, God uses parenting to expose our hearts, grow our maturity, and form us into people our children can trust. It’s messy, humbling, and lifelong—but with Jesus, even our mistakes become part of the work of grace. In this honest conversation, Jamie and Heather reflect on the parenting lessons they've learned (and are still learning).   Show Notes:  In this episode they mention the book by Amy Elizabeth Olrick and Jeffrey Olrick, PH.D.  ...

In the face of loss, unanswered prayers, when something bad happens—We often look for a balancing of the scales of good and bad. We try to make sense of tragedy by making it purposeful, but that’s not Christian hope. Of course, God works in the midst of difficult circumstances, but we don’t need to settle a score in a life where you’re not always going to see the score settled. So, what do we do instead? How do we follow God through despair, loss, and tragedy? How do we follow God in success, good times, and answered prayers?   In this episode, Church on the Move Pastors Whit...

In Motion Podcast

If you’ve ever lain awake wondering, “Am I messing my kids up?”—you’re in good company.   So many of us are parenting without a clear template. This is where the language of attachment can be a gift—not as a label to shame you, but as a tool to understand how you were shaped, how you’re parenting now, and how Jesus can bring healing and security into the story.   In this episode, Jamie and Heather sit down with Valerie Isaacs, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, reflective consultant, and mental health trainer.   It’s honest, eye-opening, grace-filled,...

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!
