Westside Podcast
This is the official weekly podcast of Westside Community Church in Beaverton, Oregon. We’re made up of a variety of people who like to keep it real, don’t take themselves too seriously and who want to get the most out of life. At Westside, we welcome people from all walks of life – in fact, there are NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED! We strive to be a "safe place to investigate faith" so people can come as they are and be themselves while they explore who Jesus is, find friends and make a difference. We post content here that is practical, helpful, and relevant to real life. We hope you'll find the inspiration, motivation and help to grow. #help #hope #practical #jesus #growth #spiritualgrowth #nojudgment
