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

What if the most questioned book in history is also the most reliable? This week Jess sits down with Pastor Gabe for a follow-up to Sunday's message — a no-holds-barred FAQ on how we actually got the Bible, why there are so many translations, and whether you can really trust what's in your hands.

- Word-for-word vs. m...
What if "renewing your mind" isn't just a nice phrase — what if it's something happening physically, inside your brain? This week Jess sits down with Rachel for a deep dive into one fascinating question: does reading the Bible actually change your brain? They get into the neuroscience, the Scripture, and the real-life moments where the Word of God shifted something they could genuinely feel.

Every single day, you're either making a decision — or drifting into one. In this episode of Midweek Motivation, Jess and Rachel unpack one of the most honest conversations about faith, focus, and following Jesus you'll hear. Using Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" as a jumping-off point, they dig into what it actually looks like to choose a direction — and what pulls us off course when we're not payin...

Every parent knows the pre-Christmas closet clean out — toss the old stuff, make room for the new. It feels generous. But what if that same instinct is quietly shaping the way we give to God? In this episode of Midweek Motivation, we take an honest look at what our sacrifices actually reveal about our hearts — and why God isn't after what we were planning to get rid of anyway.

What do you do when you're standing in front of a decision and you're not sure if it's God opening a door — or if you're forcing one open yourself? In this episode, Pastor Jess and Pastor Gabe unpack a framework for discerning God's will that has shaped Westside's biggest current decision as a church, and works just as well for parenting, marriage, career, and the everyday moments where you're asking, "Is this...

In this week's Midweek Motivation, Jess sits down with Rita — former atheist of 13 years and now one of the most spiritually tuned-in people you'll meet — for a powerful, honest conversation about hearing God's voice, steppi...

Caleb and Maria are in their 20s, expecting their first baby, and asking the question every parent eventually has to face: why bring a kid into a world that feels this broken?
