Stay ConnectedWestGate Church is a community in Silicon Valley learning to live the way of Jesus, together.
Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, these teachings are an invitation: not just to believe something, but to practice a different way of life. A way marked by presence, transformation, and love.
With campuses in Saratoga, Almaden, and Redwood City, WestGate is a place where you’re welcome as you are, and where we are learning to be with God for the good of all.
A recent study conducted by Harvard in 2021 found a rising epidemic of loneliness, with more than a third of Americans (36 percent) saying they’re “lonely all of the time.” David Kim stops by - forming an all-Dave podcast - to share practical ways that Christians can reverse that trend. We tackle why the Bay Area’s culture leads to so much isolation (hypermobility, busyness because of the economic demands of the area, etc). Then, David shares principles from his new book “Made to Belong,” outlining five practical things you and I can do to build strong, healthy, transformative friendships and communities where we’re known, where we’re seen and where we can grow. Also, DK makes a weird Titanic reference because that’s his all-time favorite movie. So tease him about that later. Speakers: David Tieche + David Kim
More than 600 years before Jesus, the Israelite people found their lives in confusing shambles. Their capital city, Jerusalem had fallen, their city had been sieged, and they were led off in chains as war captives far away from their home to Babylon. This was a judgment by God and from God - the previous leaders of Israel had abandoned God. But now, as people faithful to God, they expected God to bring them right back home. The prophet Jeremiah, however, delivered a message from God Himself that said something different, telling them to “seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.” God says to put down roots, and work for the good of the people around them, even if they’re Babylonians. “I’m up to something good,” God promises. We examine these prophetic words and find the call is the same to us, today. Work for the good of the city. And in doing so, we find that God is (again! still!) up to something good.
