S1E0 | An Introduction to THE MOVE | How to Get the Most from This Series

Have you ever wondered what it might feel like to truly understand your identity as a child of Christ? My buddy John and I, Justin from that Christian vlogger, take you on a spiritual exploration that promises to refresh your faith and inspire a deeper sense of freedom. In the very first session of 'The Move,' we're not just talking about the good news; we're living it and inviting you to join the adventure. Imagine a conversation so gripping that what was meant to be a brief chat over coffee turned into an eight-hour deep dive into the heart of our faith journeys—this is the essence of what we bring to the table.

Every minute of our dialogue is a step further into the path where God is actively moving, and we're excited to have you move with us. John shares his experiences as a globe-trotter proclaiming the gospel, while I inject insights from my time as a professional YouTuber. Together, we dissect our encounters with scripture and the impact it has on our day-to-day lives. Strap in for a podcast where authenticity isn't just a buzzword, it's the core of our message, and where every listener is a fellow traveler on this transformative trek of faith. Join the community, embrace the movement, and discover what it truly means to live out the gospel every single day.*

So welcome to the move , hey , welcome .

Speaker 2 0:12

I was going to say welcome back , but this is the first thing . This is the first one there is no welcome back , that's it .

Speaker 1 0:16

Welcome to the move when we will be vibing with the text 10 minutes at a time .

Speaker 2 0:22

So we wanted to come on and introduce each other real briefly . Whether you're coming from the , that Christian vlogger crew or the LRT crew have never heard of at least one of these , not both of these . This is my friend , John . John , you are born and raised in Born in the Minnagora Republic raised back east . And now you live out of a suitcase .

Speaker 1 0:40

That's probably the most accurate thing Out of a suitcase yes , yes , but I mostly spend my off time in Hawaii .

Speaker 2 0:45

Nice place to be Not bad . Those of you guys who follow my channel know I was in Hawaii with you working on some projects and this is kind of the outflow of this whole thing . You speak for this ministry called LRT love reality tour travel around the country , around the world . Really . You're actually going to Australia in a short amount of time yeah , about two weeks and you just travel and spread in the gospel . It's one of the good news . Speaking on , I think , if there's one thing that you like to harp on a lot , that , as far as I can tell , is this this identity as a daughter or son in Christ , and this is a powerful message that has really been having an impact in my life . So I just want to say thank you for that . It's been very refreshing and freeing in many ways . I received it so . I tell it , this is John , and I think you guys are going to really enjoy some of the things that he has to share with us .

Speaker 1 1:33

Yeah , so we're actually going to be doing this podcast together , which is the Move , and as together it's Jonathan and Justin and folks . You all might know Justin , If you don't . He is that Christian vlogger and you've been a professional YouTuber for about three years Coming up on three years .

Speaker 2 1:51

My three year anniversary is just around the corner . Congrats .

Speaker 1 1:53

Thanks , man , and that's a heart , because it's and it's not so much what I love about it . If you've seen that Christian vlogger , it's not that you're trying to come up with the final answer like right , so say that , christian vlogger . But it's this thing where , like hey , I'm journeying through this , I'm in in scripture , in the text , in the book , and , as things emerge , I'm actually inviting an audience on the interwebs to journey with me , and so it's really cool that it's just wide open and we're going on this ride . Yeah , does it work ? Right ? Yeah , but you and I are going on a ride together , yeah .

Speaker 2 2:28

We've . It's funny because we were in preparation for this whole shoot day . We were in the coffee shop where you and I really first sat down and hung out and it was just two guys just trying to affirm each other I see what God's doing in your life and vice versa , and just hey , keep it up . What was maybe planned to be like a 30 minute , like chat , you know whatever , ended up being like eight hours of conversation and over the last couple of weeks and months , like God's been building this into something different and we've just been seeing God move . That's right . See , there's that word again and we just want to follow along with it . Yeah , and what's been cool is you and I have had several conversations about scripture , about life as a disciple , and it's just been really valuable to me and you know , I think that this is the kind of thing that that that's worth pursuing with other people .

Speaker 1 3:19

Yeah , Cause I mean , end of the day , we and not to be corny , but we want to move where God is moving .

Speaker 2 3:24

Right .

Speaker 1 3:26

I mean listen ? When we first connected it was just supposed to be a 10 minute real coffee meetup like hey man love what you're doing .

Speaker 2 3:32

I was going for 30 minutes , but I guess it was 10 .

Speaker 1 3:34

Yeah , you know , I had other things to do , right , and it was just like hey , that Christian vlogger , love you , can I support you in some way ? Right ? And then God moved and now we're here and this is more of the same . We want to be in the book , vibing with the book , because we believe that not only is God on the move on this greater scheme throughout history and the world , but he's on the move in our lives and we see it like the partnership . But then he's on a move in us internally and we want to invite people to partake in God on the move through his word . And just literally , the week we selected that word , we just want to vibe . We just want to vibe in the book .

Speaker 2 4:13

We want to orientate our lives in such a way that , when we see God revealing himself in scripture maybe even revealing something that we ought to be doing or how we ought to be living that our natural posture is all right , god , how do I move with you along this ? And so this is something that's you know , I think , is a really important practice . This is something that we all should probably focus on in our life . It's just moving in accordance with God . The book talks about a group of people who follow the Lamb wherever he goes , and that's this idea of just moving with Jesus , and so , in this podcast , what we're trying to do is basically literally 10-minute conversations , where we're literally going to go with a phone , with a timer three , two , one , go , hit the timer and then , when that thing obnoxiously goes off , the conversation's over , and we're hoping that not only can you and I learn from each other , but we can learn from you guys and vice versa , and so we're really excited to dive into this movement together .

Speaker 1 5:17

Yeah , man , just wherever it might go . Like you said , wherever the Lamb leads , and I think CS Lewis said it in a good way , right .

Speaker 2 5:23

Yeah , yeah .

Speaker 1 5:24

Aslan is on the move , that's absolutely right .

Speaker 2 5:27

That's absolutely right . So you know we're going to come to the text no agendas , nothing we're trying to prove or even necessarily teach . As much as it is . Hey , let's read the scriptures together , let's talk about it and see what God moves . Awesome , go man . See you in the next episode .
