In Motion PodcastWhat is Christian Hope? | Tell Me MoreIn the face of loss, unanswered prayers, when something bad happens—We often look for a balancing of the scales of good and bad. We try to make sense of tragedy by making it purposeful, but that's not Christian hope. Of course, God works in the midst of difficult circumstances, but we don't need to settle a score in a life where you're not always going to see the score settled. So, what do we do instead? How do we follow God through despair, loss, and tragedy? How do we follow God in success, good times, and answered prayers?...

In Motion PodcastJames 2:1–13 Explained: The Sin of Partiality and How It Shapes Our Faith | Tell Me MorePartiality may feel like a small sin compared to the "big ones," but James insists it is not. James calls us to live fully turned toward Christ, where our faith shapes how we see and treat people in everyday life. In today's cultural moment, when influence and status dominate, Christ-followers are called to reject favoritism, live out the gospel with integrity, and honor people without compromise. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse unpack James 2:1–13, revealing both the underlying issue and its practical application. Show notes: Check out t...

In Motion PodcastThe Joy of Endurance | Tell Me MoreLife doesn't stop handing out trials—but James invites us to see them differently. He begins his letter with four surprising words: "Count it all joy." Not because suffering feels good, but because endurance through trials produces something lasting: a deeper, steadier faith. Joy, James says, isn't tied to circumstances—it's rooted in the confidence that God is at work in every situation, shaping us into who we were meant to be. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse unpack James 1:2–12 and the true meaning of faith, doubt, and joy through endurance. ...

In Motion PodcastAre You Living in Light of the End? | Tell Me MoreJesus didn't give us Mark 13 so we can overlay modern events on it like some apocalyptic decoder ring. He's being pastoral. He talks about some tough stuff—wars, betrayal, suffering, false teachers, and the end of days. But the heart of it is this: "How are you going to respond when this happens?" In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Ethan Vanse explore Mark 13 and living with eternity in mind.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastPut Your Prayers in a BowlRevelation puts in front of us some of the biggest objections people have to Christianity: the reality of suffering and judgment. But what if the real story here is not a God of judgment but a God of mercy? Revelation 6-8 reveals the true nature of judgment, the sacred nature of endurance, and the certain faithfulness of God. Join us as Pastor Ethan Vanse walks us through these chapters in week 4 of our Revelation series.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastThe Throne, the Scroll, & the LambIn Revelation 4-5, John experiences some of the most captivating scriptures in the whole Bible. He aims to describe the indescribable. Before the Lord shows John a picture of the future, He shows him a throne standing in heaven. These passages urge us to live our lives in light of this revelation: God's plan will be fulfilled.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastLetter to the ChurchesIn Revelation 2-3, we read John's letter to seven churches. These passages are Christ's words to His Church. The letter to Ephesus reminds us that our witness is broken when it's disconnected from love. The letter to the church in Laodicea reveals that apart from God we can do nothing. God has chosen to speak primarily to and through the Church. So, what is the Spirit speaking to Church on the Move? Pastor Ethan Vanse teaches on these principles, and gives us a hope for what God is doing now in the Church.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastNavigate the Book of RevelationThere may be no other book in the Bible quite as compelling yet equally mysterious as the book of Revelation. So, how should we approach a book like this? It's important to look at the book both as a prophecy and as a letter. The Church is missing something significant when we don't read Revelation; it's a story that reframes our perspective, strengthens our resolve, and calls us to worship. Pastor Ethan Vanse shows us that when we navigate eschatology through Jesus we see the whole picture clearly.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastForgiveness and ReconcilliationForgiveness and reconciliation are two concepts not only central to the story of Joseph, but central to the Christian faith. Forgiveness is about coming to the Lord with the fullness of your feelings and trusting Him with them. It's an inner work between you and God. Sometimes, this inner work leads to repentance and reconciliation with others. What God desires above all, is reconciliation with you. Pastor Ethan Vanse teaches us about this forgiveness. What we see is how forgiveness+repentance+reformation+trust=reconcilliation.

We see a beautiful story of a heart change in Judah when Joseph puts his brother through a test in Genesis 42.

Church on the Move PodcastDon't Lose Heart!This week, Church on the Move Broken Arrow's Pastor, Ethan Vanse, shares four words God has given him: do not lose heart. You were not made to live a life under the pressure and debilitating anxiety this world so often brings. You were made to live with a strong spirit and confident expectation of what God is doing now and what He will do in the future. When life's inevitable hardships come, Christ-followers can live with a heart of peace and hope that doesn't come from earthly circumstances.

Church on the Move Broken Arrow PodcastThe Manner and Mystery of GodPastor Ethan Vanse teaches on Ephesians 3 in part 4 of our Ephesians series. We assume that if God wants something, it will happen without our cooperation, but we have to do our part. It is the manner of God to work through people. In a mysterious work, God has elevated the Church to His own right hand through Christ. It is His desire to anoint our abilities and fill us with His might. We partner with Him so that His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Some verses in the Psalms are harder to understand than others. That's why we have to do the hard work of studying context. To imprecate means "to invoke evil upon or curse" one's enemies. Psalm 137 is a prayer of imprecation. It shows us that God wants us to bring the fullness of our emotions to Him, no matter how raw and unfiltered. Different seasons with God require different ways of talking to Him. But honesty in prayer is only the starting line. Don't miss this powerful message from...
