In this episode of The Unpolished Church, Jon Sherwood sits down with the Jeter's to explore something many Christians talk about but struggle to practice: spiritual formation in everyday life.This isn’t theory. It’s as tangible as buying blankets for neighbors, handing a stranger your extra pair of shoes, and choosing Scripture over the next dopamine hit on social media. Through honest stories, the Jeter's share how prayer, generosity, and Scripture have been reshaping their home, their habits, and their hearts.What follows is simple and beautiful: a house filled with “joyful noise,” a community that actually notices when you’re missing, and a deeper reverence as the church prepares for the Lord’s Table.Along the way, they describe the surprising freedom that came from a social media fast and the quiet fruit of showing up for people again and again.You’ll hear:Why generosity isn’t just money and how blankets, bandages, and shoes became worshipHow fasting from social media made prayer and Scripture come aliveWhy singing at home can become real prayer (“joyful noise” and all)How a church family’s love shows up in baby showers, accountability, and communionWhy community that cares enough to “check on you” can change your lifeTimestamps:[00:00] - Intro[01:14] - Prayer, generosity & Scripture in this season[02:00] - Blankets for neighbors & the “gave him my shoes” story[04:00] - When everyone cries… and why generosity is contagious[04:30] - Fasting Facebook: choosing Scripture over dopamine[06:07] - “To sing is to pray twice”: joyful noise in the home[07:10] - Preparing for the Lord’s Supper (Communion/Eucharist)[08:31] - From “shooting in the dark” to real fruit through community[09:23] - The church that notices when you’re missing[10:59] - Accountability, iron groups & a baby shower that preached love[13:50] - “We don’t share DNA, but we share the blood of Jesus”[14:06] - Closing prayer of gratitude & sendingUNpolished Church podcast exists to help equip and resource Christians toward experiencing greater intimacy with one another, transformation into Christ, and impact for Jesus' redemptive mission in the world.
