    Rhythms Over Resolutions | S4E13 BEYOND THE LETTER

    As the new year begins, Adam challenges the way we typically think about New Year’s resolutions. Instead of short-lived goals and burst motivation, this solo episode invites listeners to shift toward rhythms—sustainable habits and frameworks that actually shape a healthy life.Adam walks through six practical frameworks designed to help you close the previous season well, recognize what drains you versus what gives you life, and build routines that support long-term growth. Rather than chasing pressure or comparison, the focus is on alignment—aligning your values, pace, and priorities so your life produces real fruit.This conversation is both reflective and actionable, encouraging listeners to stop carrying what no longer belongs, protect what’s working, and intentionally design a year that is spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and relationally strong. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by resolutions that don’t last, this episode offers a wiser and more sustainable approach to the year ahead.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/--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?

    Why School Fails ADHD Kids (and What Parents Can Do) | S3E12 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    After walking through their family’s recent experience with an ADHD diagnosis, they unpack the frustrations many parents and adults feel toward the education system and its one-size-fits-all approach to learning. Adam shares his own journey with ADHD, how school nearly convinced him he wasn’t capable, and why discipline—not excuses—became the key to thriving in adulthood.Together, they talk through practical disciplines they’ve found helpful for both children and adults with ADHD, the dangers of turning diagnoses into crutches, and how to advocate for your child without lowering expectations. This episode isn’t anti-medication or anti-school—it’s pro-wisdom, pro-discipline, and pro-understanding how God uniquely wires people to thrive.Whether you’re parenting a child with ADHD, navigating it yourself, or simply trying to build better rhythms in the new year, this conversation brings clarity, hope, and a lot of real-life perspective.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

    Are You Addicted to “Doing Good”? | S4E12 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    This one starts hilarious and ends way deeper than expected. Adam, Sammy, Jeff, and returning co-host Will Chung kick things off with holiday chaos, inside jokes, and stories that make you say, “Wait… y’all really did that?!” But the conversation pivots into something real: how leaders can look “put together” on the outside while still carrying old patterns on the inside.They talk burnout, capacity, and the difference between abstinence and actual recovery—how you can stop destructive habits but still be chasing the same inner need through “better-looking” addictions like work, ministry, or achievement. They unpack the question “What’s wrong with me?” vs. “What happened to me?”, how trauma shows up in the body, and why Sabbath, rhythms, and honest self-awareness matter if you want longevity. It’s funny, reflective, and surprisingly freeing—especially if you’ve been running on fumes.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Jeff Osborne https://www.instagram.com/jefftosborne/Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/--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?

    Our Funniest Christmas Episode Yet | S3E11 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    The holidays are here, and Adam & Ashlee are keeping it light, loud, and hilarious. This episode is basically a Christmas living room moment—full of roasts, playful jabs, inside jokes, and the kind of marriage banter that only works when you actually love each other. They also take a second to shout out everyone who showed love in their Spotify wrapped and supported Beyond I Do all year—seriously, it means more than you know.Then they jump into a super relatable holiday question: what do you even gift someone who “already has everything”? Adam and Ashlee talk gift-giving styles, why thoughtful gifts hit deeper than expensive ones, and why “cash/gift cards” might actually be the most practical love language for some people (without the pressure and expectations 😅). Plus—if you’re watching on Christmas Day… there may or may not be coffee involved. 👀☕️--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

    How You Know You’re Saved | S4E11 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam sits down with Dr. Paul Pitts III for a deeply grounding conversation about salvation, assurance, and the gospel’s steady power in everyday life. Together, they unpack why assurance isn’t ultimately found in emotional highs, personal performance, or constant self-examination—but in the finished work of Jesus: His righteous life, His sacrificial death, and His victory over sin as an eternal covenant for all who believe. They also talk through how God often moves through “ordinary” means—Scripture, prayer, church, repentance, and faithful consistency—when our generation is trained to chase novelty and instant results.They also go straight at two of the most common spiritual questions: “How do I know I’m saved?” and “Why hasn’t anything changed yet?” Dr. Pitts reframes assurance as assurance of the Savior, not obsession over the self—reminding listeners that feelings can follow truth, but they shouldn’t lead it. Adam and Dr. Pitts explore what sanctification actually looks like over time, why Jesus isn’t a quick-fix genie, and how real spiritual growth often happens slowly—but surely—when Christ remains the point. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, doubtful, or tired of the “what’s next?” mindset, this episode brings you back to the anchor: Jesus is enough, and the gospel still works.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Dr. Paul Pitts III https://www.instagram.com/paulpitts3/--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?

    From Potential to Partnership | S3E10 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    Marriage doesn’t just reveal who you are—it forms who you’re becoming. In this episode, Adam and Ashlee sit down with Nathan and Sanaz for a real (and hilarious) conversation about how spouses change each other over time—and why that’s actually part of God’s design. They talk about what it means to “see potential” in your spouse, how encouragement can pull out the best in someone, and why character matters more than shared hobbies when you’re building a life together.They also get super practical about the day-to-day stuff: learning each other’s strengths, dividing responsibilities without keeping score, and having hard conversations without resentment. Plus, they dig into a powerful idea: marriage isn’t about holding someone’s past over their head—it’s about covering, healing, and walking forward as one. If you’ve ever felt stuck in “roommate mode,” or wondered how to inspire growth without becoming controlling, this one’s for you.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

    What Happens When You Actually Read the Bible? | S4E10 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

    What happens when someone who barely knows the Bible actually starts reading it—and it wrecks them in real time? In this episode, Adam, Sammy, Fuego, and Sanaz sit down to talk about the raw, disruptive power of God’s Word and what it really looks like to disciple people who know almost nothing about Jesus, church, or Scripture.They start with a wild childhood snake story (yes, a real python on a bucket of cookies used as a sermon illustration on temptation) and use it as a picture of how sin looks harmless until you reach for it. From there, the conversation zooms out to our current moment: a generation that’s biblically illiterate, de-churched, and yet deeply hungry—like the viral influencer who started reading the Bible on camera, got confronted by Jesus’ teaching on lust and dehumanizing people, and found his desires changing just from engaging Scripture.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Fuego Padilla https://www.instagram.com/iamfuegopadilla/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?

    Is He Leading You On? Cab-light Theory | S3E9 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

    In this episode, Adam and Ashlee respond to the viral “cab-light theory” — the idea that men suddenly “turn their light on,” get serious, and commit to the next girl who shows up… even if they just told the last one they “weren’t ready.” They unpack whether it’s really “right person, wrong time,” or if it’s often a lack of discipline, standards, and honesty in dating.They also talk about Christian sexual ethics, moving in together, “playing house,” and why so many couples give each other all the benefits of marriage with none of the covenant. Ashlee shares how past relationships and breakups shaped her insecurities, Adam shares from years of pastoring couples, and together they offer super practical (and pretty direct) advice on boundaries, timelines, engagement, and why you can’t change someone who never wanted marriage in the first place. If you’re single, dating, or parenting teens/young adults, this one is a must-listen.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?
