In Motion Podcast

It's easier than ever to be influenced by pop culture, celebrities, social media, etc. What you consume shapes and forms you. So, it begs the question, what are you being influenced by?

In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss a wide range of topics including the impossible pressures of social media, finding contentment, how a real relationship with Jesus completely changed the way they view success, and, naturally, Taylor Swift.

We've all been around full-grown adults that behave like children... and if you're being honest, you've likely been one of those adult children yourself. So, what do you do when you notice a pattern of immaturity in your life?

In this episode, Whit George and Casey Shirley discuss the pathway to maturity. They talk about holding two character traits in tension: Submission and Agency. Learn how to address patterns of immaturity in various aspects of life and embrace your true identity and purpose as guided by God.

Is telling a lie ever okay? Are you hurting your relationships with the words you speak or don't speak? To kick off their summer break, Heather and Jamie recently went to see a movie together that left them asking themselves these very questions. In this episode, they explore the nuance of communication, navigating people's feelings, and telling the truth even when it's hard.

Why should you forgive others? Is forgiving someone letting them off the hook? Forgiveness is at the core of the story of Joseph and at the core of the biblical message. It's not as simple as forgive and forget. In fact, forgiveness, like most things in life, is complicated and nuanced. In this episode, Whit and Lyndsey talk about the stages of forgiveness and paint of picture of what biblical forgiveness truly is.

This is a special bonus episode of Tell Me More About! Whit and Casey dig into Genesis 38: the bizarre and seemingly out-of-place story of Judah and Tamar.

Sometimes, you read something in the Bible and think woah, what is that? Why is this chapter included? How can we understand it in the context of the culture it was written in? It's important not to blow past these instances but to turn back and investigate. So, that's exactly what we're going to do!

Joseph is an epic story within another epic story: the book of Genesis. Throughout Genesis, we see God's promise that He will redeem creation through a family. But this gets complicated, because, well, family is messy. In episode one, Whit and Casey talk about analyzing and navigating family culture and answer questions like, why should I have to do something about something that was done to me? How do I fix a situation that feels broken beyond repair? Where do I even start? Watch the episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbdmxUkqNfo
