There comes a moment… when the dust rises behind you, the horizon stretches before you, and you hear that quiet whisper: It’s time to move.

The old dusty trail. It isn’t just a phrase from Westerns or a cowboy’s farewell. It’s a picture of life — raw, rugged, and real. It’s the road of faith, carved by those who’ve walked before us, marked by both struggle and hope.

And now, it’s our turn. To step out. To walk where the path is not always clear, where the ground is uneven, and where every step forward requires trust.

Because following Jesus has never been about standing still. It’s motion. It’s risk. It’s obedience in the face of the unknown. It’s a journey that costs us something — but leads us to everything.

So today, as we begin Week One of The Ol’ Dusty Trail, I invite you to imagine the weight of your boots on that dirt road, the sun setting low, the Spirit calling you onward. This is no ordinary trail — this is the path of discipleship. A trail that demands faith, courage, and a heart willing to follow.

The question is simple… Will you take the first step?

This is week 1 of the Ol Dusty Trail Series, Titled Ol' Dusty Trial.

Welcome to the Motion Church Podcast. Today, we gather around a message that isn’t easy to hear — but one that carries the power of truth, healing, and redemption.

Our guest pastor Chris Johnson begins with honesty: not every word in Scripture is lighthearted or easy. Sometimes God calls us into the deep places — the places of pain, loss, and struggle. And today, that call is clear: the topic is Broken.

What does it mean to live in brokenness, and yet discover that God is still present? How do we face the parts of our lives that feel shattered, and trust that the pieces are not wasted in His hands? This is not a comfortable conversation, but it is a necessary one — because in the breaking, God often begins His greatest work of restoration.

So lean in with us today. May you find that even in the hard truths, there is hope. May you hear the voice of God calling you beyond comfort, and into transformation.

This is the Motion Church Podcast — and here is today’s message: Broken.

Welcome to the Motion Church podcast. Today, we arrive at the close of a journey—our final week in the series Signing Off.

Each week, we’ve explored what it means to finish well: not just ending conversations, but completing seasons of life with grace, courage, and clarity. And now, in this last chapter, we lean into the ultimate question—what do we say when it’s truly time to sign off?

From everyday goodbyes to the weight of final words, we are reminded that endings are not just conclusions—they are opportunities to leave a legacy, to speak life, and to anchor hope in Christ.

So lean in, open your heart, and let God speak through this moment of closing. Because while this may be a sign-off, it is also a reminder that in Him… every ending is the beginning of something eternal.

This is Signing Off: Week Four.
