Matters Over Miles Water Within Ministries
-
- Religion & Spirituality
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.

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.

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.

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.
