Welcome back to Bible Birding—where creation speaks and Scripture sings. In Week 3, we journey deeper into the wild beauty of God's Word and world. Today's episode invites us to tune our hearts to the lessons nature reveals, as we explore how birds—especially those noisy, bold, or surprisingly silent ones—teach us about listening, patience, and trust. From the chatter of the Carolina Wren to the quiet moments of waiting in stillness, we'll discover how God meets us in the simple, yet profound, rhythms of the natural world. So grab your binoculars and your Bible—it's time to open both and listen closely. You might be surprised at what takes flight. Let's begin.

Welcome back to another soul-stirring episode of Motion Church Podcast. Last week, we soared into the idea of rising with wings like eagles — a journey that begins not with action, but with patience. With waiting. And oh, how that's the part we wrestle with most. Today, we continue that flight. In this episode, we turn to one of the most iconic verses in Scripture — one that reminds us of strength renewed, of hope rekindled, and of the divine rhythm that calls us not to run ahead, but to trust. Whether you're in a season of soaring, or one of stillness, this message is for you. Let's dive in.

Welcome to “Bible Birding” — where the beauty of nature meets the depth of scripture. In this episode, we're diving into a curious question: What do birds and the Bible have in common? Whether you're a bird lover or just bird-curious, get ready for a fresh perspective on faith, creation, and what these fascinating creatures can teach us about God. Grab your binoculars — or just your heart — and let's take flight.

In this series we are looking at some of the ways that technology can act as a mirror, reflecting to us what is going on in our hearts. To be clear, technology is not the issue. Our hearts are the culprits and where the change needs to happen.

We celebrated our 12th birthday party as a church with a "Back To The Future" theme. We took a look back at our beginnings and imagined if we could share some lessons that we wish we knew then. Good thing it's never too late to pick up good habits and beliefs!

As we head into the heat of summer many of us are working on getting into a little better shape... just in case we have to wear a bathing suit.

God has a plan and a path for each of us. Our ability to understand and see that course is one of the keys to getting and staying on it.

Out of the Protestant Reformation came these guiding principles known as the 5 Solas. They are grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone, Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. They are more than just helpful information, but have the power to affect our lives in significant ways. One way this applies is that once we have these beliefs, we no longer have to feel as if we are alone in this journey of life.

We had our good friend Jeremy Donovan join with us to share some insight from a passage found in Mark 5. As Journey might say (or sing), "Don't Stop Believin".

Relationships are tough. In all of the various relationships (spouses, children, friendships, etc.) in our lives, there are tensions and conflicts that will inevitably arise. Many times this is the point when people throw in the towel. They give up the relationship because of the difficulties. Maybe a better approach would be to develop the ability to withstand the struggles. You could even call it tough love.

We're kicking off the new year with a series about stewardship. This is the time of the year when most people are making big goals for their lives. Unfortunately 92% of resolutions fail. A better way to view progress might be to be better managers of what God has already entrusted to us.
