June 03, 2026 When Do You Stay and When Do You Walk Away? | Acts 14 | Midweek Move
What do you do when opposition turns violent — do you stay or do you go? And once someone comes to faith, what does it actually mean to disciple them? Pastors Scott Ethridge and Dallas Mora walk verse by verse through Acts 14, where Paul and Barnabas face a city divided, a stoning, and a long journey back to strengthen the churches they planted.

May 27, 2026 Acts 13: When Prophets and Teachers Work Together (And Why the Church Forgot About It)
Most people pair apostles with prophets, pastors with teachers. Acts 13 verse 1 puts prophets and teachers in the same room — and uses them together to change the history of the church. Pastor Scott Ethridge and Carlos Renfroe dig into why that combination matters more than we've been taught.

May 13, 2026 Your Comfort Zone Is Blocking God's Plan | Acts 11
What happens when God opens a door you didn't want — and your community pushes back?
In Acts 11, Peter returns to Jerusalem and immediately faces criticism — not for what God did, but for where Peter was when He did it. The tension between religious tradition and a fresh move of God is as real today as it was then.
This week on Midweek Move, we dig into what it actually looks like to recognize God's hand in something unexpected — and what it costs to say yes.
Ask yourself this week:
Is there a door God has opened that you've been hesitant to walk through?
How do you know when something is truly from God — and not just your own desire?

April 15, 2026 Biblical Leadership vs. Business Culture: Lessons from Acts 7
Many believers are questioning why modern church structures often mirror corporate business models instead of the spiritual qualifications found in the early church. In this episode, Pastors Scott and Dallas may have an answer as they explain why the goal of the church is to raise up "men and women of God" whose leadership is simply an overflow of their life as a disciple.
