How do we nurture our spiritual health along with our mental and emotional health? A lot of times in our pursuit of mental and emotional health we neglect our spiritual being. Why? Because that's what culture tells us to do. There are tons of books, podcasts, and blogs on how to be a better person, and those things aren't bad, but if they're not making you a better follower of Jesus they're not he...

What was your family culture like growing up? Not sure? Well, have you ever noticed yourself responding to something precisely the way one of your parents/guardians would have? It's totally normal but can also be a little startling. Whether you had amazing or not-so-great parents/guardians, how they acted and viewed the world shaped how you act and view the world now.

Christian worship is about finding out who God is and loving Him the way He wants to be loved. But we often see people turn that on its head and make loving God all about them, not Him. Let's talk about it!   In this bonus episode of Spirit In Motion, Whit and Adam invite Founder & President of TheosU & TheosSeminary, teacher, and author, Nathan Finochio to talk about theology, church, and culture...

How bad do you want to be healthy? We often avoid getting healthy emotionally, physically, and spiritually because of the work it takes. We'll make any excuse, "It'll take too much time, it's too expensive, I'm not really hurting that much." Here's the deal: We make time and financial allowance for things that we care about. We sure hope you care about yourself.   In this episode, Heather and Jami...

What is spiritual warfare, really? It's far more ordinary than you might think. When you repent and apologize, commit to repairing your relationships, when you work against the conflict and tensions that divide you from the people in your life—that's spiritual warfare.

Habits often dictate our desires. But for some reason, we wait around for our desires to dictate our habits.

In this episode, Heather and Jamie talk about getting out of our feelings and starting habits that dictate...

Conflict is inevitable. If you're experiencing conflict right now, that's NORMAL. Hopefully, that gives you some peace. In fact, we like to say that conflict isn't bad but the way we navigate it can be bad. So, how should you navigate conflict?

What would it take for you to be willing to share who you really are? To share all that you think and feel with the people in your life.

You can't read through scripture without seeing the work of the Holy Spirit in it. From Genesis 1, as He's hovering over the waters to Acts where He's the power behind every move and work of the first church, the Holy Spirit is all over scripture. So, how come He's so misunderstood? If you look at all the different churches, you'll likely see tons of different ideas of the Holy Spirit. So, which o...

Do you ever feel like you've not quite arrived at what your life is supposed to be? Maybe you're a little tired of feeling like you're behind and now you feel like you've wasted your life.

We don't want anyone to tell us what we should do. Why can't we just do what we want? But what if there's something to putt...

Cancel culture seems like it's a brand new social construct, but actually, we see the same roots of cancel culture in scripture. We all want to be on the right side of history, we all want justice, but the tension between justice and mercy is not easily navigated. So how do you live righteously in an age of moral outrage? In this episode, Adam and Whit discuss cancel culture. Check it out.

We know we can't be the only ones who wake up at 3 AM wondering, "AM I WASTING MY LIFE?"   Internet influencers, 30 under 30s, and a to-do list/goal-focused culture put constant pressure on you to be more successful at a younger age than the generation before you. As a result, the pressure convinces you that nothing is worth doing unless it's wildly successful. Your purpose becomes "success,"  and...
