MOMENTS THAT MOVE US, LET'S GO. 1:00 MVMNT UPDATES // and Banter 4:30 Moments The Have Moved Us // We would have more moments that move us if we were more mindful that this life is extraordinary and there is purpose in it, and we need to stop and appreciate the moments that really matter. 7:30 Moments of Chaos // Living out the Gospel, which is the restoration of God’s people, is long, complex, difficult, and requires a lot of work. 9:30 Moments of Peace // Peace isn’t the absence of chaos but peace is always had despite the chaos. 12:00 A moment with Billy Walker // “Never doubt isn’t the midnight what God did in the noonday.” 13:20 A moment with Albus // “Words are indeed our most inexhaustible source of magic.” 15:00 Guth’s Thoughts // Moment that could move us are everywhere and available to us if we are mindful and receptive 15:30 Logan’s Thoughts // We don’t live for “moments that move us”, but instead we live for a greater purpose than ourselves; only then can we truly have moments that move us. Living for the movement of God’s gospel and glory is the greater purpose we are called to.

Stories are powerful, and LOTR has influenced many. Namely: Logan and Guthrie. Call to Action: Ask a friend about their story. (Find out what they are most passionate about and stories of why that is, and how they show that passion in what they do) 1. Adventures are dangerous because you risk changing yourself. 2. Life is a quest. Not a quest where you destroy the ring of power, but it’s a quest. 3. Fellowship is vital. 4. There’s some good in the world. We will see a return of the king soon. We live in the middle. Sam : It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
 The ones that really mattered.
 Full of darkness and danger they were,
 and sometimes you didn't want to know the end.
 Because how could the end be happy. 
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. 
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
 Even darkness must pass. 
A new day will come.
 And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. 
Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something.
 Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. 
I know now.
 Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
 Because they were holding on to something. Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for

"I don't have time" is a lie. So don’t say it. "I'm busy" is automated and ambiguous. We need to get batter at making time. Making Time: Scheduling your priorities. 00:00 Tiger Balm and Chill 04:00 What does it mean to make time? 06:50 Scheduling Your Priorities 11:00 Don’t measure your importance by how busy you are 16:00 Learn to balance your time 20:00 What would the world look like if we made time for our priorities? Better? Better. There would be more intentional, content, and fun relationships that balance their time well. 22:30 Don’t waste your days.

Shownotes: 00:00 Small Talk About Deodorant 05:00 MVMNT Updates (TV Interview coming soon!) 06:30 Introduction to Learning 07:00 Guthrie’s Initial Thoughts (“I am at my best when I am learning”) 08:30 Logan’s Initial Thoughts (Being a learner requires humility) 11:50 Guthrie Reflects (If we don’t attempt to learn, “we miss out on opportunities to grow”) 15:00 Logan Reflects (We need to be teachable) 29:00 Takeaway/Call to Action “The adolescent standard of animosity towards being a student needs to DIE.” (Also, Logan feels guilty about something he said and wants to get it off his chest. He said he bought his deodorant a few weeks ago, but it was well over six months ago. He hopes you’ll forgive him for this misleading blunder.)

This is a fun one. Guth and Logan talk about the beauty of planking and other phenomenal trends that we all as society participate in every now and then. Shownotes: There are not really any. We literally just talk about planking and stories regarding planking. BUT HERE IS WHY: because planking, even though it is silly and seemingly pointless, is unifying. Bring back planking.

The Guth and Logs discuss the topic of “creativity” and different aspects of it. Creativity is important for us if we strive to think more of those around us, and to create movement in our spheres of influence. Creativity is more than just being expressive or pushing against the routines of life, but it is about truly being your unique self. There is so much to this topic, so this is The MVMNT Podcast’s attempt to introduce us all to it. 02:34 MVMNT Updates: Madison Badiac is a part of the MVMNT team! 4:00 Introduction to Creativity: God has made us creative beings. 5:45 Logan’s Definition of Creativity: Being devoted to thinking differently 8:10 Guthrie’s Definition of Creativity: Navigating life in a distinct manner 15:15 Logan’s Example of Living Creatively: “We must constantly look at things from a different perspective,” DPS 18:15 Guthrie’s Example of Living Creatively: “Who told you you were naked?” Creative Pastor 20:15 Guthrie Explaining How Society Could Change: “Liberated.” 23:00 Logan Explaining How Society Could Change: “Individuals not sticking to the status quo.” 27:15 CALL TO ACTION: Go watch the sunset for twenty minutes while listening to “Outro” by M83 28:30 A game that you can play with your friends that Guthrie and Logan did very poorly at, but it is kinda fun. Say a sentence that is grammatically correct that nobody has ever said out loud before. We dare you. 30:45 BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE DARE YOU TO GO LOOK AT A SUNSET FOR TWENTY MINUTES WHILE LISTENING TO “OUTRO” BY M83.

You’re listening to the MVMNT podcast. This episode is going to give you an opportunity to reflect. In the next fifteen minutes, you will be guided in a time of reflection, to better help you be more mindful of yourself and those around you. We recommend you do this in an environment that would not be distracting to you as you reflect. Each prompt is said every two minutes: Take two minutes and silence yourself. Notice your breath, your lungs unconsciously bringing your body life with every breath. Think about your emotions today, when were you disappointed? What made you feel inadequate? Now think about the times you felt known. What made you feel valued? What made you come alive? Now think about others. How have you maybe made someone feel inadequate? How have you made someone feel known? Think about one specific person you interacted with today. What can you do right now to let them know they matter? How can you communicate to them that your existence is better because they are alive. How can you posture yourself before others to show them they are valuable? How can you live today in a manner worthy of that which you were created to be? No podcast next week!

Ryan is a Resident Director (RD) on the campus of Cornerstone University, and he works directly with students and the Student Development department. Student Stories are a part of Friday chapels on campus that happen throughout the semester, where specific students have the chance to be vulnerable and honest about their own personal stories, and students have the opportunity to listen. Ryan had a huge hand in bringing that to chapel, and still works directly with the students that speak.

Hannah Gronowski started Generation Distinct when she was in her twenties, and she believes that we have the potential to be a distinct generation in this world. Guthrie met with Hannah to interview her on her thoughts about the world and how we can create movement in it, each one of us, by simply being willing to do something. You can check out their website here: http://www.generationdistinct.com Shownotes: 00:50 - Friendly banter 04:00 - Interview introduction 04:35 - Interview with Hannah Gronowski 24:45 - Discussion on the interview 28:39 - Conclusion and sign off Here are our highlights from the interview: “I feel unqualified...” - Hannah “That’s kinda the point.” - God “God doesn’t care what our age is when he calls us to change the world" Generation Distinct exists to help every single person in our world to discover: -They have a huge amount of potential by the power of Christ -There is a wrong you were created to make right in this world (discover it) -When we link arms together we aren’t just one person but a movement of individuals so passionate about Jesus that we can’t help but catch the attention of the world that is searching for someone who is willing to stand up and do something different. “There is opportunity all around us if we are willing to do something rather than waiting for this magical moment of discovering our passion.”

Challenging ourselves is the last pillar of MVMNT. We need to challenge ourselves to think less of ourselves. Creating MVMNT away from ourselves and towards others requires us to challenge ourselves!
