Episode 82: Outrage Machines, Selective Outrage, And Hypocrisy Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

We’re talking about hypocrisy. And here’s the plot twist: we’re not talking about hypocrisy that we see in other people, we’re talking about the hypocrisy that we see in ourselves.

Every human being needs to be able to say: I have selective outrage. Which simply means we turn our outrage on and off depending on which “tribe” was injured.

Here’s how we can move forward…

Episode 80: Navigating The 24/7 Rage-Based News Cycle With Jason Woodruff Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

Today I'm talking with my new friend Jason Woodruff from The Pour Over! The Pour Over is a three-times-a-week newsletter that delivers the biggest headlines in clear, concise language — but with a twist: every story is paired with Scripture and a reminder of eternal hope. Founded by Jason Woodruff, its goal is to keep Christians informed without leaving them angry, anxious, or overwhelmed. It’s politically neutral, Christ-first, and designed to help readers see the news through a gospel lens — so we’re shaped by truth and hope rather than fear and outrage.

I quickly discovered that Jason and I are kindred spirits. We talk about navigating the 24/7 news cycle and how to prioritize our discipleship to Jesus over being formed by the news. This is how you can take back control of your life will still staying informed.

Episode 79: The Phone Is Not The Drug, It's The Needle Sep 11, 2025

Show notes

I lost my voice, so this week I'm sharing a talk I gave to Pantano Church back in June! I've found that most people aren't actually addicted to their phone--they're addicted to the perceived sense of control that our phones give us. That "control" tends to crack under the weight of reality.

So how can we relinquish control and reclaim our humanity? Listen and find out!

Episode 78: Building A Legacy Of Moments And Memories With Your Kids Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

Hello from the English countryside. (Should I just rename my podcast Walking with Whit? LOL.) If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that my second daughter recently got engaged. I’ve gotten a lot of comments from young parents who are worried about losing a relationship with their kids as they get older.

I’m noticing that a lot of my followers with young kids have a fear of their kids growing up and leaving. And I get it! Change is scary. Especially when it comes to your family.

Today I want to give you hope that when your kids leave—because they will—you don’t have to lose or lessen your relationship with them. Your lives can and will expand together if you let it.

Episode 77: A Smorgasbord Of Thoughts On This Week's Current Events Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

I’m FINALLY back home in Nashville, seated at my desk, talking to you.

This episode spans it all—from Taylor Swift to Christian comedy drama to the school shooting in Minneapolis.

When it feels like you’re finding yourself bouncing from comment section to comment section or drowning in headlines you just can’t get away from, may I remind you that you can turn it off.

You aren’t depriving the world of your opinion. You aren’t hiding from the conversation. You aren’t avoiding the reality of tragedy. You’re simply creating space to actually tend to the matters of your heart.

Episode 76: Refreshing Your Soul With My Friend Ty Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

Join me and my buddy Ty on a deep sea fishing vessel off the Alaskan coast as we talk about refreshing our souls.

We talk about how nature can act as a physical replenishment for the spiritual. We talk about how taking one step in the direction of the needs of the people in front of you can turn into something much bigger. We talk about how rest can be fun but it’s always essential. We talk about pastoring and leading people with different opinions. And so much more!!

Episode 75: Whittaker Family Travel Hacks (Live From Alaska Circa 2021) Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

If you've been following me at all this summer, you know that I've been traveling more than I've been home. And this week I'm in Alaska.

Turns out the service here is much worse than I thought, and it's really hard to record a podcast when you're surrounded by grizzly bears. LOL. So I figured we'd share some family travel tips that we recorded last time we were here to help you and your family get to amazing places like this!

Episode 73: Wisdom From The Desert - A Place To Become Rather Than Avoid Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

This week I’m coming at you from the Arizona desert! And I’m accidentally thriving. Now, I never would’ve thought that as someone who loves the mountains and a cool breeze could actually enjoy being surrounded by sand and cacti in 100 degrees.

And it’s got me thinking. What if everything we’ve been taught about deserts, spiritually, is wrong? What if these dry seasons in our lives aren’t actually seasons we have to survive but are actually something sacred?

Maybe the desert is a place of becoming rather than a place to avoid.
