Two stories. Two rocks. Forty years apart — and the same God in both. This week we set Exodus 17 and Numbers 20 side by side, and the contrast will preach to anybody who's ever been tired, thirsty, or stuck.
In Exodus 17, Israel is in the wilderness with no water and ready to stone their leader. Moses does the right thing in the right order: there's a problem, he goes straight to God, God gives clear direction ("strike the ro...
Sooner or later, everybody ends up in a bond — a situation with no good options and no clear path forward. Between a rock and a hard place. In week 2 of Rock and Soul, we sit with King David in Psalm 61, a song he wrote while fleeing the rebellion of his own son, crying out to God "from the ends of the earth."
But David doesn't just pour out his pain — he hands us a map out of it: "Lead me to the rock that is higher tha...

We're closing out our Faith Stories series — stories from the life of Jesus where ordinary people show extraordinary faith. This week moves fast and packs in three of them, held together by one idea: faith is never isolated. Your faith should strengthen mine, and mine should strengthen yours. This week we're in Matthew 8 and Mark 5.
And, Not If — In Matthew 8:1-3, a leper approaches Jesus in the middle of a crowd that p...
We're continuing our Faith Stories series, because faith never just affects the person who has it — it affects everyone around them. This week we're in Luke 18:35-43 with a blind man sitting by the road outside Jericho.
When he hears that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by, he starts shouting: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" The crowd tells him to hush — and he cries out all the more. And Jesus, on his way to Jeru...
We're kicking off a new series looking at stories from the life of Jesus where someone's faith inspired the people around them. Because that's what always happens — when people encounter Jesus, their faith is strengthened, and that faith becomes a catalyst for something miraculous.
This week we're in Mark 2:1-12. Jesus is back home in Capernaum, and the crowd is so packed there's no room left, not even outside the door. Four...
Four men. Three fires. Two stories ages apart. One flame.
In this message, Cody Knight walks us from the courts of Babylon to the fiery furnace, where Daniel — and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego — refused to bow to the golden image and trade their God-given identity for the comfort of fitting in. The world is always trying to make us like it. So how do we stay standing when the heat is turned up?
This is ...
Warrior Poet Society — Week 4: How to Not Wreck Your Life
In the season finale of Warrior Poet Society, we close out our study of David with a simple but honest question: how do you keep from wrecking your life? Looking at the sweep of David's story, one pattern stands out — when certain ...
Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 3: "The Downstream Effect of Sin"
Happy Father's Day from Motion Church — "I think strong men are the backbone of any good society" — and then right into a tough but important topic in the David series: what happens after forgiveness.
Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 2: "Lessons on the Lamb"
Season two of the David series backtracks a bit this week — picking up not after the Bathsheba scandal, but earlier, when Saul is still king and wants David dead. "Not the kind of situation you want to find yourself in." Jealou...
Motion Church | Warrior Poet Society, Week 1: "You Are the Man"
Season two of the David series is here — and it picks up right where the last one left off, 15 months later. "King David, to me, is one of the most fascinating people in scripture because, man, his life had everything — the h...
Motion Church | Victor, Week 4: "I Get To"
Closing out the Victor series, this week's message is delivered by Motion Church youth pastor Chris Johnson — "The Bishop" — and he's upfront from the jump: buckle up. "This is one of those sermons we are all gonna walk out here today with some h...
Motion Church | Victor, Week 3: "Eat Your Own Bread"
Week 3 of the Victor series adds another layer to the conversation — and fair warning, this one's a little offensive. In the best way possible.
After recapping the first two w...
Motion Church | Victor, Week 2: "Control"
Continuing the Victor series, this week zeroes in on one of the biggest differences between a victim mentality and a victor mentality: how each one thinks about control.
The core truth up fron...
Motion Church | Victor, Week 1: "Victory Question"
Kicking off a brand-new series called Victor, this message starts with an honoring of two longtime leaders — including Motion Church's very first youth pastor, who began serving "16 years ago" and is, as Pastor Andy puts it, "still serving with...
Motion Church | Walk, Week 4: "Meet in the Middle"
Can you accept someone without approving of everything they do? This week's message — introduced through a "Name That Tune" country music bit — takes its title from an old 90s country song: "We meet in the middle of that old Georgia line....
Motion Church | Sisterhood: "Locally Grown"
"Welcome to the sisterhood, where we are gonna fill your cup up."

When you're sandwiched between an army and the sea, what does it look like to walk the path God has called you to?

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
