Anxiety, Conflict, and the Secret to Real Peace | Tell Me More Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

You don't have to chase peace—you've already been given it.

In this episode, the lead pastors from our three churches Whit George, Ethan Vanse, and Seth Swindall walk through Philippians 4:1–9 and unpack what it really means to stand firm in a world that constantly pulls us into anxiety, conflict, and distraction. They talk about dwelling in the presence of God, the difference between forgiveness and restoration, bringing your real burdens to prayer, and choosing what you allow your mind to live in.

How Community Helps You Get Things Done | Life in Motion Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

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.

Does Jesus Have Access to Every Part of Your Life? | Week Two Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

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 areas and allow Jesus to love you fully—because resurrection life begins with honest surrender.

What is the Fragrance of Your Life? | Week One Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

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 Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

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?

From Wanting Change to Becoming New: The Power of Spiritual Practices | Tell Me More Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

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.

Finding Community & Faith in Seasons of Change | Life in Motion Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

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.

Breakthrough: Desire, Idolatry & the Life We Were Made For | Tell Me More Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

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?

Breakthrough: Do You Want to Be Healed? | Tell Me More Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

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 in the truth of Scripture. Together, they offer a framework for how we talk about "breakthrough" without minimizing pain or avoiding accountability.

Parenting Is Sanctification in Disguise | Life in Motion Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

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.

About Church on the Move:

We are a family of churches in northeast Oklahoma. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus. A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids' environments on up, is to help people know that same love.

We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do, and we believe He's given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.
