    Why You Communicate Better at Work Than at Home

    Send a text Ever notice you can communicate like a pro at work, but at home it falls apart fast? In this replay episode, Gabe sits down with Matt Castile to talk about what actually lowers tension, builds trust, and turns conflict into connection. If you want to stop arguing and start communicating, this is for you. Discover Why your communication changes when you walk into your homeIntrovert vs extrovert conflict, and how to stop misreading each otherThe game-changing principle: “Quick to listen, slow to speak” (James 1:19)How to communicate under pressure without saying what you’ll regretWhy “I statements” can prevent so much damage in relationshipsSimple ways to build trust and vulnerability again Reflection Healthy communication isn’t about winning the argument. It’s about loving the person more than you love your natural style, your defense mechanisms, or your emotional reactions. When you choose to listen deeply, you don’t just change the conversation — you change the relationship. Key Takeaways Your skill doesn’t disappear at home, but your triggers show up moreListening deeply is one of the fastest paths to trustSelf-control matters more than your communication “type”Under pressure, pause before you speak so you don’t do damageUse “I feel…” instead of throwing barbs and assumptions Question for you to think about Where do you need to listen deeply this week — before you speak, defend, or react?

  4. You Say You Trust God… But Do You?

    FEB 12

    You Say You Trust God… But Do You?

    Send a text Trust isn’t just a personality trait. It’s a foundation. In this week’s episode, Jess sits down with Pastor Steve Rady to talk about relationships, anxiety, and what it really means to trust God, not just say the phrase. Together they unpack why trust begins vertically with God and how that foundation changes the way we show up in every relationship. Discover Why trust starts with your relationship with God (vertical before horizontal)What people actually hear when someone says, “Just trust God”How “baby steps” rebuild trust, especially after setbacksPractical ways to strengthen your foundation: Scripture, prayer, communityThe danger of grabbing the steering wheel and trying to control outcomesHow Romans 8:28 reframes loss, uncertainty, and painful seasonsWhy real trust produces integrity and makes you a more trustworthy person If you’ve been feeling anxious about the future, carrying tension in relationships, or realizing you’re trying to manage life in your own strength, this episode is an invitation to return to the foundation and rebuild from a solid starting point. Key Takeaways Trust grows through repetition and real-life testingGod is not asking for a perfect relationship, He wants a real oneScripture and prayer calm the soul and bring clarity for next stepsCommunity matters because trust strengthens when we walk with othersYou can’t control the outcome, but you can surrender the wheel Question for you to think about Where are you trying to take control right now, and what would it look like to surrender that area back to God? ––– Subscribe so you don’t miss next week’s episode.

    Quiet the Noise | Finding Peace by Refocusing on Jesus

    Send a text When life feels loud, overwhelming, and distracting, where do you turn? In today’s Midweek Motivation, we look at the contrast between Saul and David to discover how refocusing on God brings peace, clarity, and direction. David, known as a man after God’s own heart, shows us what it looks like to quiet the noise of anxiety, comparison, and distraction by trusting God’s sovereignty, resting in His presence, and running to Him daily. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, this episode will help you slow down, refocus, and realign your heart with Jesus. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why distraction and anxiety often grow when we stop trusting God’s sovereigntyWhat David did differently than Saul when pressure and fear set inHow worship helps quiet the noise and re-center your heartWhat it really means to rest in your identity in ChristWhy running to God instead of solving everything yourself changes everythingHow resolve and obedience lead to lasting peace No matter what season you’re in, God is inviting you to turn down the noise and refocus on Him.

  8. Is Ambition a Sin? | Godly vs Worldly Cravings

    Is Ambition a Sin? | Godly vs Worldly Cravings

    Send a text What we crave shapes who we become. In this episode of the Midweek Motivation Podcast, Jess and Caleb explore a question many Christians wrestle with but rarely say out loud: Is ambition a sin? Where’s the line between healthy, God-given drive and cravings that slowly pull our hearts off course? This conversation builds on the idea that our hearts are always hungry for something—and only when our cravings are filtered through Jesus do they lead to lasting fulfillment instead of burnout, pride, or distraction. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why ambition itself isn’t sinful—and how intention changes everythingThe difference between Godly cravings and worldly cravingsHow to filter ambition so it fuels purpose instead of pressureWhy conviction is protection and repentance is redirectionHow community helps keep our hunger aimed in the right directionPractical ways to pursue impact without losing sight of Jesus If you’ve ever felt driven… but unsure if what you’re chasing is actually satisfying, this episode will help realign your heart toward the King who truly satisfies. Westside is a place made up of real people from all walks of life. We are a “come as you are” church that strives to be a safe place for people to investigate faith. No matter your story, questions, doubts or struggles, we’re glad you’re here today.
