    Critique Culture Is Killing the Church | S4E32 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    In this episode, Adam and Allan talk about a trend that’s gotten louder online: people building platforms by clipping sermons, stitching content, and “calling out” other leaders for engagement. They unpack the difference between thoughtful biblical critique and straight-up clout-chasing — the kind that tears people down, fuels outrage, and makes money off someone else’s ministry.They also challenge believers to stop only complaining about what’s wrong on social media and start becoming part of the solution. If TikTok is where the next generation is living, learning, and forming opinions about faith, then mature, grounded voices need to show up there with clarity, humility, and courage — not just reactions.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Allan Walters https://www.instagram.com/alllanwalters/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

    Mother’s Day Isn’t the Point… Honoring Moms Is | BTL S4E31 | BID S3E31

    This week is a special crossover drop for Mother’s Day—part Beyond the Letter, part Beyond I Do—but fully focused on honoring the women who carry so much.Adam, Ashlee, Nathan, and Sanaz talk through what Mother’s Day should look like (and why so many people feel pressure, disappointment, or weird expectations around it). They unpack how to actually build a culture of appreciation in your home—so moms aren’t only celebrated one day a year—and why teaching your kids honor now becomes a gift to their future marriage later.They also get real about the “mom, mom, mom” season, kids sleeping in the bed, Teacher Appreciation Week chaos, and what it looks like to celebrate mothers without letting consumerism define the day. Plus—practical wisdom for single moms raising sons (and daughters) with healthy support, boundaries, and strong examples.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Ashlee Mesa https://www.instagram.com/ashleemesa/Nathan Mesa https://www.instagram.com/nathanjmesa/Sanaz Mesa https://www.instagram.com/sanazmesa/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

    So Our “Argument” Went Viral... | S3E30 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    Sometimes marriage moments look way crazier from the outside than they actually are. In this episode, Adam and Ashlee give the full context behind their “big argument” from two episodes ago—what was happening emotionally, why it escalated, what was misunderstood, and how playful conflict can still expose real needs like rest, stress, and feeling heard. They also talk about how easy it is for people to project their own relationship pain onto a clip—when they don’t know the full story.To wrap it up, they speed-run a couples Q&A pulled from TikTok—reacting to marriage opinions and questions with honesty (and plenty of laughs). They cover things like arguing in front of the kids and what it looks like to model reconciliation, plus practical wisdom for navigating conflict without letting it turn into something bigger than it needs to be.--Have a question about relationships?

    Feelings Aren’t Theology | S4E30 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    In this episode, Adam and Sammy start with some real-life banter, then shift into a heavy (but necessary) conversation about what happens when someone builds public faith… and then starts rewriting the rules in real time. They react to a viral clip where a creator claims God accepts them “as they are” because their heart feels sincere — and they unpack why that kind of feelings-first spirituality can quietly drift into lawlessness.They talk through the difference between struggling with sin vs. excusing sin, why “God knows my heart” can become a dangerous cover, and how influence comes with weight — especially when newer believers are watching. The bottom line: Jesus doesn’t just comfort us, He transforms us. And real discipleship means submitting our desires to His Word, not asking His Word to submit to our desires.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

    Stop Treating Marriage Like Witchcraft | S3E29 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    In today’s episode, we start off with some pure fun—laughs, random rabbit trails, and the kind of real-life banter that feels like you’re sitting at the table with us. But halfway through, the conversation takes a sharp (and honestly needed) turn into something a lot of couples don’t realize they’re doing: overspiritualizing marriage in a superstition-based way.We react to a wedding trend and unpack the deeper issue behind it—how people start treating marriage like it can be “cursed,” contaminated by someone else’s “energy,” or protected by rituals… while ignoring actual wisdom, character, and spiritual authority. If you’ve ever felt anxious about vibes, jealousy, “evil eye” thinking, or letting fear shape your relationship, this conversation will help bring clarity, laughter, and a much healthier perspective.--Have a question about relationships?

    Jesus Didn’t Die for Our Sins?! | S4E29 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    In this episode, Adam and Haron react to a viral clip where a speaker claims, “I do not believe Christ died for our sin,” critiques the sacrificial system, and calls penal substitution “problematic.” Instead of just trading opinions, they slow it down and ask the real question: what does Scripture actually say about sin, judgment, and the cross?They walk through why “penal substitutionary atonement” is a theological label (like the Trinity) used to describe what the Bible teaches—namely that Jesus carried what we deserved and paid the price our sin owed. They also address popular lines like “Jesus didn’t save us from God,” clarifying the difference between God’s love and God’s righteous judgment against sin. If you’ve ever heard a deconstruction-style argument that sounds convincing but ignores the text, this one will help you rebuild your footing on the Word.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

    Stop Pressing Me: Our Most Raw Episode Yet... | S3E28 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    In this episode, we unpack a topic every marriage runs into: rest. After coming back from Japan, we talk about the difference between a “vacation” and a family trip, and how family experiences can be meaningful—even when they’re not restful. Then we react to a viral clip of a husband sitting in the car for some quiet time before walking into the house, and we get real about why so many men (and honestly, so many people) need a few minutes to decompress.But it doesn’t stop there… because the conversation turns into a real-time argument about expectations, communication, and what happens when your spouse asks, “What time are you coming home?” (and you respond in a way you probably shouldn’t 😅). If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, misunderstood, or like you just needed 10 minutes to breathe—this one’s for you.--Have a question about relationships?

    The Coach Mindset: Communication, Clarity, and Accountability | S4E28 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    In this episode, Sammy, Allan, Gabe, and Haron break down what healthy teams are actually built on — and why talent alone can’t carry a culture. Using the lens of a coach, they talk leadership that’s practical: setting expectations, communicating clearly, and creating accountability that helps people grow instead of drift.They also get into what silently destroys teams: unclear communication, tolerating toxic behavior because someone is “good at their job,” and leaders trying to do everything themselves. If you’re building a team at church, at work, or even in your home, this conversation will help you define your culture, repeat it consistently, and defend it when it matters most.--Connect with:Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Allan Walters https://www.instagram.com/alllanwalters/Gabriel Guzman https://www.instagram.com/salinascyy/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
