We're challenged to examine our own relationships and consider how we can better support our spouses' individual pursuits while maintaining a strong family unit.

Financial Stewardship and God's Providence in Life Transitions | Beyond The Letter Podcast S3E3 Oct 28, 2024

In this enlightening discussion, we're reminded of the profound connection between our finances and our faith. The story of Joseph in Genesis serves as a powerful illustration of how God can turn even our most challenging circumstances into opportunities for growth and blessing. Just as Joseph's brothers meant harm, but God used it for good, we too can trust that our financial setbacks or struggles might be preparing us for a greater purpose. This conversation challenges us to view our money management not just as a practical skill, but as a spiritual discipline. By aligning our financial decisions with God's wisdom, we're not only stewarding our resources well, but we're also positioning ourselves to be more generous and impactful in God's kingdom. Let's reflect on how we can approach our finances with both faith and wisdom, trusting that God can use our obedience in this area to bless others and further His plans. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Navigating Marital Challenges with Open Communication | S2E2 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Oct 24, 2024

In this powerful discussion, we delve into the complexities of marriage and the importance of open communication. The central theme revolves around how misunderstandings can arise even in the strongest relationships, and how we must be vigilant against allowing insecurities to take root. We're reminded of the biblical principle found in Ephesians 4:26, 'Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.' This story beautifully illustrates how addressing issues promptly and honestly can prevent small misunderstandings from growing into larger problems. The conversation also touches on the dangers of comparing our private struggles with others' public personas, especially on social media. As believers, we're encouraged to focus on nurturing our relationships in private, rather than seeking validation through public displays. This message challenges us to examine our own relationships, confront our insecurities, and prioritize open, honest communication with our partners. -- Have a question about relationships?

Navigating Cultural Identity and Diversity in Ministry | Beyond The Letter Podcast S3E2 Oct 21, 2024

In this enlightening discussion, we explore the profound concept of spiritual gifts and their role in the modern church. The conversation delves into the 'fivefold ministry' mentioned in Ephesians 4 - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. We're challenged to consider how these gifts manifest in our contemporary context and how they can be fully utilized to build up the body of Christ. This message encourages us to embrace our unique spiritual gifts, recognizing that unity in the church doesn't mean conformity, but rather diverse gifts working together towards a common purpose. As we reflect on this, we're prompted to consider: How are we using our God-given gifts to serve the church and reach our communities? Are we creating space for all gifts to flourish, or are we limiting ourselves to traditional roles?

Cultivating Biblical Leadership and Submission in Marriage | S2E1 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Oct 17, 2024

In our journey of faith, we often encounter the challenge of balancing our personal lives with our spiritual commitments. This conversation reminds us of the importance of prioritizing our marriages and relationships, even amidst the demands of ministry and family life. The biblical principle of 'leaving and cleaving' from Genesis 2:24 is beautifully illustrated here, as we're encouraged to establish healthy boundaries with extended family and invest in our core relationships. Just as Christ prioritized His relationship with the Father, we too must make intentional efforts to nurture our closest bonds. This may mean scheduling regular date nights, taking couple retreats, or simply creating space for honest communication. By doing so, we're not only strengthening our marriages but also modeling Christ's love to the world around us. Let's reflect on how we can better prioritize our relationships and create a legacy of love and commitment in our families and communities. -- Have a question about relationships?

Insights on Ministry, Preaching, and Church Leadership | Beyond The Letter Podcast S3E1 Oct 14, 2024

In this enlightening discussion, we explore the profound impact of humility and optimism in spiritual leadership. We're reminded of the power of staying grounded in our faith, even as we grow in influence. The conversation draws parallels to biblical figures who maintained their humility despite their elevated status. We're challenged to consider: How can we cultivate a spirit of humility and optimism in our own spiritual journeys? This message encourages us to reflect on our approach to leadership and service, urging us to focus on loving God's word and His people above all else. It's a call to embrace a Christ-centric life, where we revolve around Him rather than expecting Him to revolve around us. As we contemplate these insights, we're invited to examine our own hearts and motivations in our walk with God. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

The Importance of Mentorship and Accountability in Marriage | S1E52 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Oct 10, 2024

Celebrating Two Years of Beyond the Letter | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E52 Oct 07, 2024

As we reflect on this journey of faith and community, we're reminded of the power of authenticity and diverse perspectives in our spiritual growth. The conversation highlights how a simple act of sharing our experiences can become a catalyst for transformation in others' lives. Just as the early church in Acts 2:42-47 devoted themselves to fellowship and breaking bread together, we see the importance of creating spaces where believers and seekers alike can engage in genuine dialogue. This modern-day 'table fellowship' through media reminds us that our faith isn't meant to be lived in isolation, but in community. It challenges us to consider: How are we using our voices and platforms to invite others into a deeper understanding of God's love and grace? -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/ Nancy Navas https://www.instagram.com/nancysnavas/ Alize Robinson https://www.instagram.com/alizee.kayy/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Navigating Marital Boundaries and Conflict Resolution | S1E51 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Oct 03, 2024

In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the delicate balance of defending our spouses and maintaining personal accountability in our relationships. While the Bible doesn't directly address this topic, we can draw wisdom from Ephesians 5:25, which calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. This love isn't about blindly defending, but about nurturing growth and maturity. We're challenged to consider: When should we step in to defend our spouse, and when should we allow them to handle situations independently? This reflection invites us to examine our own reactions, biases, and communication patterns within our marriages. Are we fostering an environment of mutual respect and growth, or are we enabling harmful behaviors? By embracing humility and open communication, we can create stronger, more Christ-centered partnerships that reflect God's love to the world around us. -- Have a question about relationships?

Building Humble and Effective Ministry Teams | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E51 Sep 30, 2024

In this powerful discussion, we explore the profound concept of humility in leadership and ministry. The conversation draws parallels to the biblical story of King Saul and David, reminding us that true success isn't about personal glory, but about stewarding God's vision. We're challenged to consider: Are we building our ministries around a person, or around God's mission? The speakers emphasize that humility isn't about false modesty, but about prioritizing the vision God has given us over our own desires for recognition. This message encourages us to reflect on our own motivations in serving and leading. Are we seeking to amplify our own voice, or are we committed to amplifying God's message? As we navigate our faith journey, let's remember that God often requires humility from us - we can choose it willingly, or He may bring circumstances that humble us. This conversation invites us to embrace true humility, recognizing that our role is to be stewards of God's vision, not kings of our own kingdoms. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Abe Camacho https://www.instagram.com/abecamacho/ Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?

Debunking Marriage Clichés | S1E50 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Sep 26, 2024

In our journey of faith and relationships, we often encounter clichés that seem to offer simple solutions. However, as we delve deeper, we realize that true wisdom lies beyond these surface-level statements. One such cliché we explored is 'Happy wife, happy life.' While it may sound appealing, we discovered that making our spouse's happiness the sole focus can lead to unhealthy patterns and neglect of God's greater purpose for our marriages. Instead, we're called to seek a vision for our family that aligns with God's will, balancing our desires with discipline and long-term goals. This reminds us of Proverbs 29:18, 'Where there is no vision, the people perish.' By focusing on God's vision for our lives and marriages, we can build stronger, more purposeful relationships that weather the storms of life and grow deeper with time. -- Have a question about relationships?

Maintaining Marital Boundaries and Honor in a Secular World | S1E49 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Sep 19, 2024

In this powerful discussion, we delve into the sacred bonds of marriage and the importance of maintaining strong boundaries. While no specific scripture is directly quoted, the message strongly echoes the principles found in Ephesians 5:33, which calls husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands. We explore how seemingly innocent interactions can potentially dishonor our spouses and compromise the sanctity of our marital covenant. The conversation challenges us to examine our own behavior, asking whether we're truly putting our spouse first in all situations. Are we, perhaps unknowingly, inviting temptation or disrespecting our partner through our actions? This message reminds us that building trust takes time and consistent effort, but it's crucial for a thriving, God-centered marriage. As believers, we're called to be different from the world, setting an example of faithfulness and mutual respect in our relationships. -- Have a question about relationships?

Navigating Leadership, Growth, and Ministry in the Digital Age | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E49 Sep 16, 2024

In this powerful discussion, we explore the delicate balance between personal growth and organizational leadership in ministry. The conversation reminds us of the biblical principle found in 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul describes the church as a body with many parts. Just as each part of the body has a unique function, we learn that leaders must recognize their strengths and weaknesses, understanding when to step forward and when to empower others. This insight challenges us to reflect on our own roles within our faith communities. Are we trying to do everything ourselves, or are we allowing others to use their God-given talents? The discussion also touches on the importance of perseverance, echoing James 1:12, which promises a crown of life to those who remain steadfast under trials. As we navigate our own faith journeys, let's remember that growth often comes through consistency and dedication, not constant change. This message encourages us to stay committed to our callings, trusting that God will use our faithfulness to bear fruit in His perfect timing.

Boundaries in Christian Dating and Marriage | S1E48 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Sep 12, 2024

In our spiritual journey, we often grapple with the question of how to balance our individual relationship with God and our shared faith experiences. This discussion delves into the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries in our spiritual lives, especially when it comes to dating relationships. We're reminded that while praying together and supporting one another's faith is beautiful, there's a level of spiritual intimacy that's best reserved for marriage. The wisdom shared encourages us to focus on observing how potential partners live out their faith in everyday actions, rather than engaging in deep Bible studies together before marriage. This approach helps protect our hearts and ensures we're building relationships on a solid foundation of character, not just shared religious knowledge. As we navigate our faith journeys, let's remember that true spiritual growth comes from how we apply God's word in our lives, not just how well we can recite it.

The Purpose and Power of Church Conferences | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E48 Sep 09, 2024

As we approach our upcoming Patria Conference, we're reminded of the power of coming together in faith. Like Gideon's army in the Old Testament, God often works through a committed few rather than a crowd. This conference isn't about numbers, but about creating a space where every attendee is there for a purpose. It's an opportunity to disconnect from our daily burdens and spend consecutive days in God's presence, much like the tent revivals of old. We're challenged to invest in our spiritual growth, just as we might invest in concert tickets or other experiences. This gathering is a chance to build community, gain clarity, and experience breakthrough in our faith journey. Let's approach it with open hearts, ready to see how God will move among us.

Navigating Communication and Vulnerability in Marriage | S1E47 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Sep 05, 2024

In this exploration of marital communication, we discover the profound differences between how men and women express themselves and process emotions. We're reminded of the importance of understanding our spouse's unique communication style, which reflects God's intentional design for complementary partnerships. Just as the body of Christ has many parts with different functions (1 Corinthians 12:12-27), so too do husbands and wives bring diverse strengths to their union. By embracing these differences and learning to communicate effectively, we can build stronger, more resilient marriages that glorify God.

Practical Approaches to Ministry and Cultural Issues | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E47 Sep 02, 2024

In this profound discussion, we explore the delicate balance between standing firm in biblical truth and responding to cultural challenges with love and grace. The conversation centers on Acts 3:19, reminding us that the purpose of the Gospel is to experience Jesus' presence through repentance. We're challenged to consider how we can impact culture in a Christ-like manner, focusing on individual hearts rather than waging public wars. The story of Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19) serves as a powerful example of how preaching the Gospel and discipling converts can organically transform culture. This approach emphasizes the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to convict and empower, rather than relying on our own strength to change society.

Leadership and Team Building | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E46 Aug 26, 2024

In this engaging discussion, we explore the powerful connection between athletics and spiritual leadership. Just as great coaches know how to bring out the best in their players, we as believers are called to nurture and develop the unique gifts within our faith community. The conversation reminds us of Jesus' approach to His disciples - recognizing their individual strengths and challenging them to grow. We're encouraged to embrace a spirit of humility and coachability in our own lives, actively seeking feedback and accountability from those around us.

In this profound discussion, we explore the sacred nature of marriage and its connection to our spiritual journey. The conversation reminds us that marriage is not just about finding 'the one,' but about cultivating a covenant relationship that reflects Christ's love for the church. We're challenged to view our spouse as a gift from God, recognizing that the struggles and growth we experience together are part of God's refining process. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our marriage above other commitments, even ministry work, echoing Paul's teachings on love in 1 Corinthians 13. As we navigate the complexities of marriage, we're encouraged to seek unity, not uniformity, celebrating our differences while remaining aligned in our core values and faith.

Navigating Christian Dating and Relationships | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E44 Aug 12, 2024

In this engaging discussion, we explore the challenges and joys of Christian dating and relationships. The conversation reminds us of Ruth's story in the Bible, where Naomi gave practical advice for finding a spouse. We're encouraged to be open to God's unexpected plans, just as Sanaz was when she met her husband Nathan, who didn't fit her preconceived notions. This teaches us to trust in God's wisdom over our own preferences. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of character over superficial traits, urging us to seek partners who embody Christ-like qualities rather than worldly ideals. We're reminded that growth in faith often happens within relationships, and that being equally yoked means moving in the same spiritual direction, not necessarily being at the same point in our journeys.

The Power of Podcasting and Leadership | Beyond The Letter Podcast S2E42 Jul 29, 2024

In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the concept of obsession and its role in achieving excellence. Just as Kobe Bryant's obsessive work ethic led to his basketball greatness, we're challenged to consider how our own obsessions might be channeled for spiritual growth and Kingdom impact. The conversation draws parallels to Jesus' relationship with His disciples, reminding us that true leadership often involves 'makership' - the hands-on process of developing others. This echoes Christ's call to 'follow me, and I will make you fishers of men' (Matthew 4:19). We're encouraged to reflect on our own leadership styles and consider how we might more effectively build up those around us, balancing our pursuit of excellence with grace and humility.

Supporting Your Spouse's Faith Journey | S1E45 BEYOND I DO PODCAST Jul 27, 2024

Why is it important for your spouse to support you in your faith, in marriage, while dating, and engaged?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter challenges in supporting our spouse's spiritual growth. This discussion reminds us of the importance of encouraging our partners in their relationship with God. We're called to create space for our loved ones to develop their faith, whether it's through personal Bible study, prayer, or attending church.

Let's reflect on how we can better support our spouse's faith journey, remembering that our actions often speak louder than words.

In addition to a conversation about faith, we also provide tips on parenting and answer one of our listeners question, which you can always DM us and our team will do their best to address it!

QUESTION FROM LISTENER: I would prefer to stay anonymous here please, but I have a question that I'm desperately seeking answers to... My husband & I have been separated for a little over a month now. I don't want things to end between us & I truly believe with all my heart that God will restore my husband's faith and our marriage. But how do I pray for his spiritual warfare, while we're separated? I don't know if it's actually demonic possession or just a spirit of some kind, but my husband is definitely battling something because I don't even recognize the person I'm speaking to anymore. Any kind of advice in this area would be most appreciated. --

In this powerful discussion on marriage, we're reminded of the sacred covenant between husband and wife.

The message emphasizes the importance of selflessness, patience, and understanding, particularly during difficult seasons like postpartum depression. We're called to reflect on how we can support our spouses through life's challenges, rather than focusing on our own desires. This echoes Paul's teachings in Ephesians 5:25, 'Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.'

In this powerful conversation, we explore the depths of our own insecurities and the mental battles we face as we strive to live out God's calling on our lives.

Healthy Sexual Boundaries in Marriage | BEYOND I DO PODCAST S1E37 May 30, 2024

In today's episode we are answering a listeners question! This discussion dives deep into the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries and purity within a marriage. We learn that introducing external sexual influences, whether pornography, strip clubs, or other deviant behaviors, can slowly erode the intimacy and oneness God intended for the marital relationship. Just as detoxing from an addiction is a difficult process, removing these negative elements from a marriage is challenging but essential for the couple's spiritual wellbeing. We emphasize the need for open communication, counseling, accountability, and most importantly, anchoring one's identity firmly in Christ. Ultimately, we are reminded that God's design for marriage mirrors Christ's sacrificial love for the church - a love that finds its fullness in mutual respect, forgiveness and genuine intimacy.

As the solemn notes of Israel's Memorial Day resonate, Adam's dear friend, Aviad, an Orthodox Jew, joins us with his companions to share a tapestry of narratives that often remain unheard amidst the turmoil of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Each story unfolds the complexities of existence in a region where joy and sorrow are interwoven, shedding light on the personal dimensions of a conflict that shapes their day-to-day lives. With reverence, we explore the harrowing events of October 7th and the rich historical threads that bind the Jewish people to their ancestral home, drawing parallels to experiences of displacement and belonging worldwide. The courage of Kibbutz Erez's defenders and the resilience of families facing unthinkable loss serve as poignant reminders of the human spirit's capacity to endure. Aviad and his friends invite us into an intimate understanding of Israeli society, from the shared struggles for peace to the vibrant hope that propels them forward, despite the shadows of conflict. Our dialogue ventures into the aftermath of violence, the journey through grief, and the pursuit of healing within communities torn by strife. We hear from those like Shlomo Zichel, who served in Judea and Samaria, and Gabi Harrow, who tirelessly works to support those impacted by conflict.

Is masturbation a sin? Is there such thing as a soul mate? | BEYOND I DO | S1E25 Mar 07, 2024

Embarking on the quest for love can often feel like navigating a maze without a map, but fear not, for we've got some light to help guide the way! Adam and Ashlee open their hearts, discussing the intricate dance of Christian dating—a journey where 'game' takes on a new, more genuine form. They tackle the myths and truths about confidence and courtship, all while reflecting on the thoughtful strategies and faith-led boundaries Adam embraced in the pursuit of his now-wife, Ashlee. It's a candid narrative of intentionality and respect, offering insight for anyone looking to find meaningful companionship without compromising their beliefs. As we wander further into the maze, we confront the enigma of defining relationships sans labels. It's a conversation many shy away from, but not us; we reveal how a transition from friendship to engagement can be seamless, sidestepping the dated boyfriend-girlfriend paradigm. We compare notes on Christian versus secular dating norms and recall personal stories of love lost and the lessons learned from relationships built on shaky foundations. This segment is an open invitation to consider the depth of connection and commitment, even if it means breaking away from the familiar. Finally, we broach the profoundly personal topic of abstinence and its profound impact on both pre-marital and marital life. Here, we explore the virtues of restraint and the spiritual framework supporting it. From the pitfalls of pornography to the importance of maintaining boundaries—even after saying 'I do'—they share their experiences, hoping to illuminate the path for others.

Whether you're single, dating, or already hitched, this discussion serves as both a guide and affirmation for anyone navigating the evolving landscape of relationships through a lens of faith.

Mental Health, Therapy, and Spiritual Wellness || S2E3 Oct 30, 2023

BTL Fam help us welcome a brand new guest to the table, Gage Henderson! We had the privilege of journeying with licensed marriage and family therapist, Gage, through the maze of mental health, therapy, and spiritual wellness. The purpose of this journey is to challenge our perceptions, question the status quo, and dig deeper into the complexities of mental health and therapy, while also exploring the spiritual dimensions of wellness.
Gage, with his wealth of experience and expertise, helped us understand the credibility of online therapy brands and the intricacies of sponsorships that resonate with a niche audience. He provided invaluable insights into the subtle nuances between biblical counseling and systemic therapy, demonstrating the healing power inherent in both approaches. We delved into a discourse about whether seeking counseling could be seen as admitting defeat or whether it was a testament to our strength and willingness to grow.
The team also tapped into the transformative potential of neuroplasticity, the importance of understanding trauma, and the healing force of forgiveness.
To round off this enlightening journey, we discussed the integration of faith, mental health, and physical aspects of health. This integration is vital in understanding ourselves better, breaking free from the shackles of past traumas, and stepping into a future of growth and healing.
So, grab your tea or coffee and get ready to take some notes because this week's conversation goes DEEP!

Will the American Church cease to exist? DEBATE || S2E2 Oct 23, 2023

Hey BTL Fam! We are here and thankful for a new week and a new episode! Today we have a NEW GUEST. He is not new to the podcast, but he is new to the table. Help us welcome, GABE!! Gabe directs behind the scenes for the podcast and just wait until you hear him at the table!
In addition to Gabe, we have Pastor Will Chung, the Lead Pastor of Beloved Church in Buena Park, CA, the people's padre, Adam Mesa and Chelsie. We haven't had a debate in a while, so we thought, we'd have another! This episode unfolds a profound conversation revolving around the complex role of language and representation in contemporary Christianity.
Another contentious yet intriguing subject discussed was the use of cussing in Christian communication. Yes, we said CUSSING. The conversation evaluated reactions to Tim Ross's use of cuss words in his podcast, assessing whether this communicative approach could potentially attract people to the faith. The discussion also reflected on historical instances such as Paul's use of a cuss word in the Bible for emphasis. This thought-provoking episode encourages self-reflection, understanding, and dialogue, reminding us of the need for compassion, conviction, and clarity in our approach to evangelism and the necessity of recognizing and addressing the power of language within Christianity.
So, grab your tea or coffee and join us in this weeks conversation.

Book Of Clarence Trailer Review, Being Vulnerable. What is Masculine and Feminine || S1E49 Sep 18, 2023

What's good BTL Fam! On this weeks episode we cover a mix of topics, intertwining childhood memories with current controversies, celebrity encounters with personal experiences, and the challenges of being a pastor with the need for setting boundaries.
The conversation highlighted the need for discerning between knowledge and belief, especially in an era where power is often sought without seeking its true source. We also addressed personal encounters with celebrities and their influence on our lives. Whether it's being starstruck by Kanye West or Taylor Swift, or having a chance encounter with renowned actors like Morris Chestnut or Michael B. Jordan, these experiences shape our perspectives and offer intriguing narratives.
Whether you're here for the laughter, the learning, or simply for a refreshing perspective, this episode has something for everyone, making it a conversation worth tuning into.
