Lil NAS X released a new song recently, and to help draw attention to it, he collaborated with Mischief to release what is being called the 'Satan shoe'. It costs $666, it has a pentagram and upside-down cross on it, and contains a drop of human blood. Doing a little digging, it's clear Lil NAS did this to cause controversy and spark outrage.... and IT'S WORKED! In today's episode, we break d...

We all go through moments of our lives where we question why we believe what we believe. In today's episode, we dive into a trend we are seeing right now around deconstruction and lean into how to navigate seasons of doubt and walk out of it with a healthy perspective.  We want to lean into uncomfortable conversations because we truly believe that we get stronger when we lean into our weaknes...

We just released our latest single 'You've Already Won' and it is a powerful declaration that we don't fight FOR victory, but rather FROM a place of victory because of what Christ has already done for us.   In today's episode of on the couches, we dive into what victory actually looks like, and the reality that sometimes it doesn't appear the way we think. We hope this podcast inspires you an...

The report is out, and it is devastating. We heard last week of the misconduct that took place throughout the ministry of Ravi Zacharias. As church leaders, this news grieved us. The sad thing is that it isn't an isolated incident. We've heard multiple instances of this taking place within Christian circles recently, and today we wanted to call this out, and seek to move in a different direction a...

We just released our very first Worship single on Friday on Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, and all other streaming platforms. So we thought we'd take some time today to discuss the journey of creating a worship album and what our heart is for these songs.   If you'd like to give our first single 'God of Faithfulness' a listen, please head to https://MovementWorship.lnk.to/GodOfFaithfulness&nb...

Have you ever seen a post on social media that made your blood boil? Have you ever written up a really long response, only to delete it? The reality is that we live in a very polarized world. In today's episode, we tackle the definition of meekness, and ultimately what differentiates us as Christ-followers.  We have been diving into Matthew 5 in our teaching series 'Counter-Cultural Christian...

Often during difficult times, we question where God is in that situation, and it can seem difficult to understand what His plan is for us. In today's episode, we discuss dealing with the tension of going through a storm and looking for Jesus in the midst of that. We get real about the tension of being a part of an organization that is pioneering something new, and how to handle conflict in relatio...

We know there are a lot of questions right now around the vaccine. Is it safe? Has it been rushed? Why are we under such strict lockdown? We thought it was important to dig deep into these questions and have a discussion with someone from the medical community who has extensive knowledge around the creation of the vaccine, as well as the science behind the severity of the virus. We know that there...

In a continuation of Sunday's message called "Walk it out", we dive into the idea that in the Garden of Eden Satan had power, but he crawled out of the garden on his stomach. On the contrary, Jesus died but walked out of the tomb so that we might have freedom.   What area in your life are you letting the devil win? In this episode, we talk about how our faith in God in the middle of difficult...

Gen-Z's are the most tech-savvy generation to live on earth, but with access to all of this technology, there's also a hunger for authenticity.  In a continuation of Sunday's message called "Labels that Define Us", we dive into what the future of Student Ministry looks like, and how to encourage the next generation to grow closer with God in an authentic and tangible way.  Don't forget t...

We dug into Sunday's message called The Camels Are Coming. To listen to this message, please visit: https://youtu.be/i0H-Lb02Jlo In this episode, we dive into the Christmas story and the reality that Mary was a very young girl who encountered some exceptional difficult situations early in the birth of Jesus. Carrying a baby as a young teen out of wedlock would have come with a large amount of pres...

Today we dug into the story of Zachariah as a continuation of Sunday's message. As a man who was blameless before God, even he questioned when the Angel appeared to him and told him he would have a son.   Contextually, Zachariah and Elizabeth were over 60 years old at this point, and in their time barrenness was believed to be a sign that God was punishing them. Imagining the shame and heartb...

Today we get raw. We discuss the reality that there are people struggling with loss this Christmas. Whether it's a physical loss, such as the presence of a loved one, or even emotional loss as a result of COVID-19, today we wrestle through the realities of this Christmas being different than years' past.   We hope this conversation encourages you and pushes you to grow in your relationship wi...

We had the absolute privilege of baptizing 4 people this past Sunday as part of our online experience. In this season where we can't meet in person, this truly was a special moment for us as baptism is a public declaration of choosing to follow Jesus. We heard 4 amazing stories and one of them was from someone who had never been inside of our building but had come across our experience because of...

In this episode, we talk about getting on the field in our faith walk. The reality is that sometimes in life we are going to take hits, so we discuss how to get back up and learn from each moment in our life. Who we are today, and how we respond to adversity will shape who we become tomorrow.   This conversation is a continuation of our sermon called "Take the Field". To watch this sermon, pl...

In this episode, we talk about how to handle being on the sidelines. Sometimes we can put all the prep into what God has called us to, but we don't feel like we have the opportunity to walk in His calling for us. Maybe we struggle with the idea of waiting on God.  The reality is that it can be easy to throw in the towel when we don't feel like God is there. But the scriptures call us to STAND...

In this episode, we continue the conversation around our series Armchair Christianity. We dive into the concept of putting in the hard work into our spiritual journey. Discipline is not a feel-good word, but it's something we have to adopt if we want to grow as Christ-followers. Things like reading our bibles, living in community with others, fasting, having a prayer life, practicing generosity, a...

Welcome to the Movement Church podcast! This is our first ever episode, and we thought we would kick things off with the discussion around the first message in our sermon series: Armchair Christianity. The reality is the COVID-19 has introduced a lot of changes and uncertainty, and we as a leadership team take some time to get real and walk through the struggles we have faced in this season. If yo...
