In Motion Podcast

Friendship was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be transformative. And often, the transformation doesn't come from finding better people—it comes from learning how to forgive the imperfect ones already in your life. In this month's episode, we explored a topic most of us would rather avoid: forgiveness. Through one deeply personal story, we were reminded: forgiveness isn't optional—it's the doorway to the kind of relationships that actually last. Show Notes: In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss chapter four of the book Made for People by Justin Whitmel Earley. The Psalms give us an example of what honest, unfiltered prayer looks like.

In week three of our Guided Prayer Podcast, we gather around Psalm 16 and Jesus' words in John 14. Through worship and reflection, we're reminded that in God's presence there is fullness of joy—and that even in moments of anxiety and uncertainty, we are not alone. In a world shaped by fear of rejection and loss, Jesus declares that we are fully known, fully loved, and never forsaken. Take time to reflect: Where is Jesus inviting you to trust Him more deeply? What would it look like to open your hands and believe that He is truly good—and truly with you?

Jamie and Heather give an honest (and hilarious) update on their "body doubling" challenge—cleaning out a pantry and a closet together—and discover that what started as a productivity hack became something much deeper. In this episode, they talk about the power of presence, why some seasons make friendship easier than others, and how doing small, ordinary tasks side by side can lighten the weight of life. Plus, Jamie shares a big family update and the unexpected mix of joy, grief, and growth that comes with shifting family dynamics. If you're navigating change, craving deeper friendship, or just need motivation to tackle that one space in your house, this conversation will remind you: two really are better than one.

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.

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 in us.

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?

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 The 6 Needs of Every Child by Amy Elizabeth Olrick and Jeffrey Olrick, PH.D.

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, and full of hope for every stage of the parenting journey.
