Don’t worry, this isn’t about hunting! 🤪We’re just going to be talking about life. I know that you can be doing everything right—praying, working, providing, showing up again and again (or in my case, hiking miles and miles (and miles)), and still not find what you’re looking for.
When that’s the case, it’s hard to want to keep trying. So what do you do when you’re in a season when nothing you planned for is happening? Take a li...

We’re leaning into the algorithm of fear and learning how to break it!
I define what the algorithm of fear is, give you some examples of how you might be getting played, and then share really practical ways to break the fear feed. This is all applicable to life on and off screens.

Bipartisan political analyst Kirsten Powers is sharing her take on how we can remain true to ourselves while also believing for the good of others.

This episode is all about friendship—inspired by one of the best talks I’ve ever heard on friendship. Even if you have good friends, what I share today will help you better those friendships. And if you feel like you don’t have good friends, let me encourage you by saying that you’re not alone. As a society, we are the most connected and yet the loneliest we’ve ever been. But there’s hope!
So here are some thoughts on how to build...

We've lost the plot. I swear my entire social media feed right now is just Christians fighting over Taylor Swift and Halloween. And today I'm just processing through it.
Now, let me be clear and say that I lose the plot all the time. We all do. But I'm just really discouraged by how much discourse is dedicated to trivial pursuits rather than Gospel truths. It just seems like we're more interested in engaging with rage-baits onlin...

This week we’re going in deep with my mom. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we have a bit of a lighter conversation about crochet.
But this is a continuation of that conversation, and it’s packed full of my mom’s thoughts on and experiences with grief, caring for widows and the elderly, and feeling unseen.

My mom is on the podcast today!! She’s been crocheting these little animals lately. So I thought we’d talk about crocheting, which inevitably turned into so much more.
I have a challenge for you: Find something that brings you joy that doesn’t involve a screen.
And then notice what comes up (and maybe even heals) inside of you when you do that thing.

We’re talking about hypocrisy. And here’s the plot twist: we’re not talking about hypocrisy that we see in other people, we’re talking about the hypocrisy that we see in ourselves.
Every human being needs to be able to say: I have selective outrage. Which simply means we turn our outrage on and off depending on which “tribe” was injured.
Here’s how we can move forward…

I rambled a bit on Instagram last week, and this is a continuation of those thoughts! These are things that I’ve been seeing and hearing in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
This is for people of all views and opinions. Are we experiencing a revival? Here’s what I think!

Today I'm talking with my new friend Jason Woodruff from The Pour Over! The Pour Over is a three-times-a-week newsletter that delivers the biggest headlines in clear, concise language — but with a twist: every story is paired with Scripture and a reminder of eternal hope. Founded by Jason Woodruff, its goal is to keep Christians informed without leaving them angry, anxious, or overwhelmed. It’s politically neutral, Christ-first, an...

I lost my voice, so this week I'm sharing a talk I gave to Pantano Church back in June! I've found that most people aren't actually addicted to their phone--they're addicted to the perceived sense of control that our phones give us. That "control" tends to crack under the weight of reality.
So how can we relinquish control and reclaim our humanity? Listen and find out!

Hello from the English countryside. (Should I just rename my podcast Walking with Whit? LOL.) If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that my second daughter recently got engaged. I’ve gotten a lot of comments from young parents who are worried about losing a relationship with their kids as they get older.
I’m noticing that a lot of my followers with young kids have a fear of their kids growing up and leaving. And I get it! C...

Join me and my buddy Ty on a deep sea fishing vessel off the Alaskan coast as we talk about refreshing our souls.
We talk about how nature can act as a physical replenishment for the spiritual. We talk about how taking one step in the direction of the needs of the people in front of you can turn into something much bigger. We talk about how rest can be fun but it’s always essential. We talk about pastoring and leading people with ...

If you've been following me at all this summer, you know that I've been traveling more than I've been home. And this week I'm in Alaska.
Turns out the service here is much worse than I thought, and it's really hard to record a podcast when you're surrounded by grizzly bears. LOL. So I figured we'd share some family travel tips that we recorded last time we were here to help you and your family get to amazing places like this!

We're back, fam!!! This episode is another walk and talk with me!
The last few days I've been doing a marriage intensive, so this episode is all about what I've been learning alongside my wife.
It was hard work. It's not easy to take a look at the hard parts of your story. But that's what we've done the last few days, and it was super healing!

This week I’m coming at you from the Arizona desert! And I’m accidentally thriving. Now, I never would’ve thought that as someone who loves the mountains and a cool breeze could actually enjoy being surrounded by sand and cacti in 100 degrees.
And it’s got me thinking. What if everything we’ve been taught about deserts, spiritually, is wrong? What if these dry seasons in our lives aren’t actually seasons we have to survive but are...

Something I posted on Instagram this week is kind of blowing up… and I think it’s because it gave language to some things that we’re all feeling. How do we stay human when the world feels like it’s falling apart?
I’m back with more thoughts on current events! This episode kind of piggybacks off of last week’s when we talked about the ICE raids in LA. This week I want to dig deeper into the specifics of what’s happening—from a hum...

This is a personal episode, but it’s also a very public episode, as what we’re talking about has been all over the news and social media. Today I’m addressing what’s going on in LA right now.
As the son of immigrants, this isn’t theoretical for me, but I’m not pretending to have all the answers. I want to help us ask better questions, because when we ask better questions, we hear better stories. And when we hear better stories, w...

Today we’re breaking the agreement with a lie that I battle constantly: I should be further along by now.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking that, this is the episode for you. I’m pulling the curtain back on the thing that is quietly crushing us.
