It's track five time! “Eldest Daughter” may be one of Taylor's sweetest songs on the album… and despite some negative criticisms, Sara and Laura absolutely LOVE this song and will defend it to death. The ladies discuss the notion of Eldest Daughter Syndrome and how Taylor's self-protection becomes unnecessary when she feels safe with the right person. Tears are shed in this episode, but what else is new!?

In this episode, We regroup after Rey Magnerio salutes in the Gold Rush, get stuck into whether Cosmic Crusader has officially claimed best-horse-in-WA status, and talk through Smooth Chino booking a ticket to The Quokka. Throw in horses to follow, a Perth Cup futures look, and the regular racing and football accountability, because no one gets off lightly.Football gets its turn with A-League best bets, European plays, and a full EPL Matchday 17 preview, featuring Arsenal fans doing the absolute most, as always.From there it drifts beautifully into chaos — selling alcohol on Marketplace on Christmas Day, people still listing their height in their Insta bio, Kobbie Mainoo's brother in a “Free Kobbie Mainoo” shirt, and those who can't do Hyrox without filming it. We also question beanies in the gym during summer, watch Ka Ying and Romantic Warrior bully fields again, realise Connor McGregor was somehow never married until now, and wrap it all up with World Cup draw chat.Racing, football, and opinions no one asked for — loaded and ready for your Spotify rotation.

Jack, John, Sam, and Stevie look back at the very first edition, from Jack and John's doubles wins to some of the wildest on-court moments.

Welcome to the Motion Church podcast. Today, we arrive at the close of a journey—our final week in the series Signing Off. Each week, we've explored what it means to finish well: not just ending conversations, but completing seasons of life with grace, courage, and clarity. And now, in this last chapter, we lean into the ultimate question—what do we say when it's truly time to sign off? From everyday goodbyes to the weight of final words, we are reminded that endings are not just conclusions—they are opportunities to leave a legacy, to speak life, and to anchor hope in Christ. So lean in, open your heart, and let God speak through this moment of closing. Because while this may be a sign-off, it is also a reminder that in Him… every ending is the beginning of something eternal. This is Signing Off: Week Four.

This week, the story continues. The journey called “Signing Off” moves forward — not as an ending, but as a deeper step into faith, into reflection, and into surrender. Last week, we witnessed something powerful… Baptism Sunday. Twenty-one lives declared new beginnings. Forty-plus this year who have chosen to rise, to leave the old behind, and step boldly into the waters of grace. Each one a testimony, each one a reminder that God is moving here, among us, in this house. Even through the heat, through the sweat, through every challenge — we pressed on. Because what God is doing is greater than any obstacle. So today, as we open our hearts to Week 3 of Signing Off, we are not just hearing another message. We are being invited into transformation. Into courage. Into choosing what must be signed off — so that something new, something eternal, can begin. Welcome… to the Motion Church Podcast.

Welcome back to the Motion Church Podcast. This week, we continue our journey through our powerful series called Signing Off. Last week we asked: What if you had one final chance to leave something behind? What wisdom would you pass on? What truth would you leave as your final words? In Week 2, we lean into that question even deeper. Imagine standing at the edge of your days, surrounded by those you love most. What would you say? What would you want written on the hearts of those who follow after you? The Apostle Paul once faced this very moment—writing to a church in Corinth that was messy, broken, and all too human. Yet through his words, we see reflections of our own lives, our own struggles, and our own hope. Today, as we step into this message, may we hear not just Paul's sign-off… but God's invitation for how we are called to live, love, and finish well. This is Signing Off, Week 2.

Craig closes his final show with a heartfelt goodbye, thanking everyone who made The Hoffman Show a success — from regular guests and his producer Anthony, to his wife Rachel, and most importantly, the audience. It's a moment of gratitude, reflection, and appreciation as he signs off from Team 980.

"Today, we begin a brand-new series — Signing Off. Imagine this: you've been given a platform, a stage, a moment. For ten… maybe twenty minutes, you've poured your passion, your knowledge, your heart into the room. And now… the clock is running out. You have only a few breaths left to leave your audience with the most important thing you could possibly say. What will it be? In our world, it's like the endless sea of podcasts — everyone has one, even your mama. But if only a few are listening, how will your words still matter? What final truth, what lasting encouragement, will you sign off with? This is where we start our journey… and this is Week One."
