Doctrine, Doxology, & the Death of the Old Self | Tell Me More May 06, 2025

Show notes

Renewal isn't just fresh vision or passion—it's also a painful shedding of sin, pride, and your false self. When life hits—when the diagnosis comes, the relationship ends, the silence of God feels deafening—your theology will show up. Whether you realize it or not, the beliefs you've built in the quiet seasons will become the framework you lean on in the storms.

In this episode, pastors Whit George and Blake Zimmerman explore shame, guilt, and performance, the beliefs that make us Christians, and personal experiences of renewal through suffering.

The Hidden Work of Renewal | Tell Me More Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Renewal isn't about becoming a "better" version of ourselves; it's about becoming who God intended us to be — and that process always begins before revival ever reaches the world around us.

In this episode, Whit and Casey explore the often-overlooked power of writing as a way to process with God — and how it creates space for the Holy Spirit to reveal what's hidden beneath the surface. They dive into what renewal really means, why it's more than just a one-time event, and how personal transformation is tied to surrender, honesty, and preaching the gospel to ourselves daily.

Sex & the Church: Let's Start the Conversation | Life in Motion Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

What shaped your understanding of sex growing up? Was it a quiet conversation with a parent, an awkward health class, a warning laced with shame? For many of us—especially those raised in Christian homes—our foundational beliefs about sex were vague, fear-based, or simply unspoken. We may have heard "don't do it until you're married," but little else. And the unspoken message? Sex is bad… until one day, magically, it's good.

We believe it's time to talk. This summer, we're inviting experts, sharing real stories, surfacing hard questions, and pointing back to God's truth. Because God cares deeply about sex. He designed it. And He wants something better for all of us.

Let's break the silence—together.

Content Warning: This episode is best suited for those ages 16 and up.

The Real Jesus vs. the One You Thought You Knew | Tell Me More Apr 15, 2025

Show notes

Brothers Whit and Gabe George grew up in church, but their journeys to truly following Jesus took different paths—both marked by pride, just in different forms. Both had to face the unsettling reality that pride, whether loud or quiet, keeps us from God. Like Peter, they had to be confronted with what was really inside of them—not to be condemned, but to be changed. Real transformation began when they stopped pointing outward and dared to ask, "Lord, is it me?" Only then did they begin to understand that faith isn't built on perfection—it's built on dependency.

In this episode, Whit and Gabe share stories from their childhood, explore Peter's actions in Mark 14, and reflect on the painful and beautiful journey of discovering who you really are in light of Christ.

Are You Living in Light of the End? | Tell Me More Apr 01, 2025

Show notes

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.
