For many Christians, the command to "pray without ceasing" feels more intimidating than inspiring. After all, most of us already struggle to maintain a consistent prayer life. We know prayer matters. We know we need it. Yet if we're honest, prayer often feels difficult, awkward, or disappointing.   Maybe the problem isn't our effort, but our understanding of prayer.   In this episode, our Lead Pastor, Whit George, and Spiritual Formation Pastor, Casey Shirley, explore what it really means to bring ourselves before the Lord.   Show Notes: Listen to the Weekend Message: How to Pray Without Ceasing   In this episode, they reference the book Eternity is Now in Session by John Ortberg

There comes a point in life when you realize spiritual growth isn't a straight line. You imagine that after enough years of following Jesus, you'll arrive at a place where the lessons are learned, the struggles are settled, and faith becomes easy. But that's not how the journey unfolds. Instead, faith often feels like a series of beginnings, wildernesses, and renewals, each one drawing us deeper into relationship with God. In this episode, Heather and Jamie explore how life transitions often mirror the stages of our spiritual lives and take an honest look at the ways God continues to shape us through every season.   Show notes: In this episode, they reference the following message from Church on the Move Tulsa - The Doing Makes the Difference: YouTubeThe Doing Makes the Difference

In a world of extremes, it's easy to believe that power is bad. Our cultures tendency is to reject words like "dominion," or "authority," but those words are in scripture, and they're a part of our lives. So, what do we do with power? How do we use power and how do we interact with those in power? In this episode, Whit George, Lead Pastor of Church on the Move and Seth Swindall, Senior Pastor of Church on the Move West, discuss power dynamics and how we steward authority with Biblical wisdom.   Show notes: Whit's Message: https://youtu.be/xVx1lAi8LDU Seth's Message: https://youtu.be/2pf1yCwrxA0

What's in your hand? In a world where we can drift toward either helplessness or self-reliance, Brian Jobe, Church on the Move's Chief Operating Officer, and Whit George, our Lead Pastor, explore the difference between what we can control, what we can influence, and what ultimately belongs to God.   While we often want immediate results, God is far more interested in shaping our character and growing us through faithful obedience, one small step at a time.   Whether you're navigating relationships, leadership, a difficult season, or simply wondering what God is asking of you right now, this conversation will encourage you to focus less on what's outside your control and more on what God has already placed in your hands.   Show notes: Listen to the weekend message: God's Power & Your Obediencehttps://youtu.be/xCZmHiNhOl0?si=cheKPWTyi76fqnyR
