About the podcast
Welcome to the weekly podcast of Church on the Move in Tulsa, Oklahoma, led by Lead Pastor Whit George. Our mission is to introduce people to the real Jesus! We believe that following Jesus looks like taking steps toward Him (big or small), even when you don't know exactly where He's leading you. Wherever you are today, our hope is that you would be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to take your next step in your relationship with Jesus. For more information, visit churchonthemove.com!

Our Spiritual Formation Director, Blake Zimmerman, continues week three of our teaching series, Jesus Over Everything.
What does it mean that our lives are hidden with Christ in God? As we continue through Colossians, we're reminded that following Jesus isn't about maintaining a relationship with someone far away.

Our Lead Pastor, Whit George, begins our new teaching series, Jesus Over Everything. Following Jesus is more than simply believing in God or attending church. It's trusting Him with our lives, belonging to a family of believers, and holding on to a hope that circumstances cannot shake. As Paul prays for the Colossians to grow in spiritual wisdom and understanding, we see that God not only reveals His will to us but also gives us the strength to live it out.

Our Founding Pastor, Willie George, wraps up our teaching series, Life Lessons.
Investing in the next generation is one of the most important things we can do as followers of Jesus. Through Deuteronomy 6 and several moments from the Gospel of Matthew, we see that children face real struggles, are capable of understanding God's Word, and have an important place in His Kingdom. From everyday conversations that build a foundation of faith to the powerful ways Jesus welcomed, healed, and honored children, we're reminded that children's ministry is far more than childcare. It's an opportunity to introduce young hearts to the real Jesus and make an impact that can last for generations.

Joy is not about pretending life is easy or forcing a happy face; it begins in the presence of a God who is joyful, present, and happy to be with His people.

Pastor Greg Scott closes out the final week of our teaching series, The Life of Abraham. Abraham modeled faith, responsibility, and leadership not just in his own life but in how he impacted others, including younger people like Lot. True legacy is built by thinking beyond the present and intentionally passing down faith, values, and spiritual truth. Rather than focusing only on personal success, believers are called to guide and influence those coming after them through integrity, honesty about their weaknesses, and consistent faith in God.
In this message, Pastor Greg explores the following Scriptures:

Pastor Gabe George continues week three of our teaching series, The Life of Abraham.
God isn't after surface-level belief, He's after deep relationship. In Genesis 15, we see a God who pursues us, makes an unbreakable covenant, and invites us to trust Him fully.
In this message, Pastor Gabe explores the following Scriptures: GENESIS 15:1A ESV 1a After these things ... REVELATION 21:1-3 ESV 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. GENESIS 15:9-10 ESV 9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon." 10 And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half. JOHN 3:16 ESV 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. GENESIS 15:1 ESV 1 ... "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." GENESIS 15:7 ESV 7 ... "I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." HEBREWS 11:6 ESV 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. GENESIS 15:1-3 ESV 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." 2 But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 And Abram said, "Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir." GENESIS 15:6 ESV 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness. GENESIS 15:7-8 ESV 7 And he said to him, "I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." 8 But he said, "O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" GENESIS 15:17-18 ESV 17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, MATTHEW 1:1 ESV 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

Our West Senior Pastor, Seth Swindall, continues week two of our teaching series, The Life of Abraham. Following God isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. In Abraham's story, we see what happens when fear, pressure, and uncertainty lead us to take control instead of trusting God. In this message, Pastor Seth explores the following Scriptures: Genesis 12:1 NET 1 Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father's household to the land that I will show you. Genesis 12:10-20 NET 10 There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to stay for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he approached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will keep you alive. 13 So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you." 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 When Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. So Abram's wife was taken into the household of Pharaoh, 16 and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!" 20 Pharaoh gave his men orders about Abram, and so they expelled him, along with his wife and all his possessions. – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?
