In Motion Podcast

Jesus didn't give us Mark 13 so we can overlay modern events on it like some apocalyptic decoder ring. He's being pastoral. He talks about some tough stuff—wars, betrayal, suffering, false teachers, and the end of days. But the heart of it is this: "How are you going to respond when this happens?"

In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse explore Mark 13 and living with eternity in mind.

Friendship is one of the greatest gifts God gives us—but it doesn't have to be painful. When done right, it's a place of celebration, not competition. Encouragement, not comparison. A safe space to be real and be known.

There's something striking about how Jesus moves through the gospels, especially in Mark 11 & 12. He doesn't flinch or get thrown off by manipulation—He's not playing their game. Every test from the religious leaders only exposes their hearts.

In this episode, Whit and Casey talk about the fruit our lives produce, letting go of the performance, and returning again and again to the quiet voice that calls us to relationship over routine.

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