Matters Over Miles Podcast

Perhaps you've only ever heard us play music, or perhaps you've never heard of us at all! Either way, after ten years of traveling around the world as worship-missionaries, we've got lots of miles under our feet and unique perspective on what it might look like to radically follow Jesus. Listen as we banter back and forth in our usual manner and converse about everything from culturally relevant topics to lessons learned on the road.

    S1E1: 10 Years, 200 Churches

    Welcome to the show! We hadn't planned on recording this podcast quite yet, but in a pandemic-era, we decided there's no time like the present! In the pilot episode, we talk about the beginnings of Water Within and how we got ten years into this wild ride that we've come to really love. You'll get to take a bit of a walk down memory lane as we recall the early years of WW, how we've been graciously allowed to play at over 200 churches in America, and the new territory we are walking into. Thanks for joining us and we cant wait to see where Matter Over Miles goes!

    S1E2: Sabbath

    What is a real Sabbath? And how the heck do you have a Sabbath while traveling over 200 days a year? This episode explores some of what we have discovered in an attempt to rectify the stereotypical "crazy busy" life with God's consistent call for us to slowwww downnnn and remember the rhythms He put in us. - - - Here's the book we reference in the show: Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal and Delight in Our Busy Lives by Wayne Muller - - - Thanks so much for joining us on the Matters Over Miles podcast, a resource of Water Within Ministries.

    S1E3: #BlessUp

    This week's current events include a Santa sighting in May and a quarantine Easter feast. We get into the Sermon on the Mount and what it means for Jesus to say some of the outlandish things He says in His first public address. What do blessing, forgiveness and our invitation into God's Kingdom have to do with each other? In a culture of easy offense, how does blessing people set us free from bitterness and lead us into joy? We unpack all this and also give you a window into what it might be like to ride in a car with Whitney driving. - - - Thanks so much for joining us on the Matters Over Miles podcast, a resource of Water Within Ministries.

    S1:E4 Favor Ain't Fair

    Whit talks about how weird it is to have been home for six weeks in a row. MP discusses how it's easy to be both transparent and impersonal at the same time in ministry (tricky!). And together we talk through the somewhat controversial idea of 'favor' and what it means to have faith in the goodness of God. Does it mean you're going to speak your 7-figure income into existence? Maybe not. But does it mean you're looking for God's goodness in every nook and cranny? Absolutely. - - - Here's the message we talk about in the show: 6/26/17 Emanate: Alyn Jones, worship with Colin Powers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0oUwgd8_io - - - Thanks so much for joining us on the Matters Over Miles podcast, a resource of Water Within Ministries.

    S1E5: Flexitude

    This week we explain our made-up word “flexitude,” and talk through some instances where having a flexible attitude has been a game-changer. Rather than losing hope, determination or sanity, flexitude can be the state of mind for everyone who lives guided by the Spirit. . . . . .

    S1E6: Disappointment

    Disappointment is a pretty hefty word! We talk this week about how we wrote a song with the same name on our most recent record, and start to unpack the reasons why disappointment is really something we all deal with on a daily basis. The opposite of disappointment is something that maybe will surprise you, so we also talk about the uplift to the downshift of being disappointed! Hang tight, this week and next are going deep. . . .

    S1E7: Shadows

    You’ve maybe heard other folks discuss what it means to deal with the “shadow-self” or the version of us that doesn’t get much obvious time in public view. In a pivot from last week’s episode, we break down how both everyday occurrences of disappointment AND terribly difficult moments in our lives can result in shame. The gentle illumination of these shadowy tendencies is a return to hope and is part of the entry way to the abundant life God says belongs to us as His kids. In the words of one of our favorite bands (Switchfoot!) “The wound is where the light shines through.” We are shining some lights in this episode! . . .

    S1E8: Unto Real Joy

    On the very last episode of the first season, we get into some hopeful and encouraging territory by discussing the presence of God in the midst of painful situations. Rather than believing that our suffering is a dead end street, we peel back the layers on how God's goodness leads us to joy, no matter where our story has taken us. What is joy, anyway? Good question - Let's see if we can figure it out! . . . Thanks so much for joining us on the Matters Over Miles podcast, a resource of Water Within Ministries.
