Beyond the Letter

In this powerful and convicting episode, we dive into the urgent reality of child exploitation and human trafficking — not just overseas, but right in our own communities. Drawing on the example of Jesus and the radical story of a missionary praying for a known drug trafficker, we're reminded that no one is beyond the reach of redemption.Romans 10:13 declares, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved,” and this episode unpacks what that means in the darkest of places. We challenge listeners to confront injustice with fearless faith, ask hard questions about how we live out the Gospel, and consider what it means to stand in the gap for the most vulnerable.This is more than a conversation — it's a call to action.--Connect with LIFE IMPACT: https://lifeimpactintl.org/--LANA VASQUEZ on Beyond the Letter EPISODE 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67d33-43Ldw--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Lana Vasquez: https://www.instagram.com/lanavasquez/--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--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?

In this compelling episode of Beyond the Letter, we unpack the true meaning of biblical manhood, spiritual fatherhood, and mentorship within the body of Christ. Drawing from Jesus' command to care for widows and orphans, we explore how "orphans" in Scripture often referred to the fatherless—and how that truth challenges today's believers to step into roles of spiritual parenting.Discover why every man of faith needs three vital relationships: a father figure, a mentor, and a brother. These roles not only foster spiritual growth and accountability, but also reflect the heart of Christ in a broken world.Whether you're a young believer seeking guidance, or a seasoned Christian ready to pour into others, this episode calls us to rise above individualism and build a legacy of faith that transcends bloodlines. Join us as we learn how to embody Christ-like leadership, healing, and belonging in our churches and communities.--Connect with:Pastor 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--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?

In this powerful episode of Beyond I Do, we explore the delicate balance between honoring our parents and establishing healthy boundaries in our relationships.

As we navigate these complex family dynamics, we're encouraged to seek unity, practice forgiveness, and prioritize our spouse and children while still maintaining loving connections with our parents.

In our journey of faith, we often encounter seasons of transition and growth. This discussion reminds us of the importance of building our tribe - a community of believers who share our values and support our spiritual journey. Just as Joshua sent spies into Jericho, we too must venture into new territories, both physically and spiritually. The story of Rahab teaches us about God's redemptive power and how He can use anyone, regardless of their past, for His divine purpose. As we navigate life's challenges, let's remember that isolation can be dangerous, but intentional connection with God and others can lead to tremendous growth. We're encouraged to be authentic in our relationships, understanding that true depth comes not from the length of time we've known someone, but from shared values and experiences. How can we create spaces in our lives for meaningful connections that push us closer to God and His purpose for us? -- Connect with: Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Pastor Sammy https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ Pastor Haron https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/ -- 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?

In this thought-provoking discussion, we delve into the complex topic of beauty standards and self-presentation from a Christian perspective. While no specific scripture is directly cited, the conversation echoes themes from 1 Peter 3:3-4, which reminds us that true beauty comes from within. We explore the delicate balance between taking care of our outward appearance and nurturing our inner selves. The dialogue challenges us to consider: Are we presenting ourselves authentically, or are we playing a character? This connects to the broader spiritual journey of discovering our true identity in Christ. As we navigate societal expectations and personal convictions, we're encouraged to seek wisdom in how we present ourselves, always remembering that our primary goal is to glorify God. This message invites us to reflect on our motivations and to cultivate a heart that values inner beauty while being mindful of how we represent our faith to the world. -- Have a question about relationships?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter challenges in our relationships, especially within marriage. Today's discussion reminds us of the importance of unity and effective communication in our partnerships. Just as Christ and the Church are meant to be one, we too are called to strive for unity in our marriages. This unity isn't about one person always getting their way, but about both partners feeling heard, valued, and working together towards a common goal. We're reminded of Ephesians 5:31, which says, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' This oneness requires intentional effort, open communication, and a willingness to understand our partner's perspective. By focusing on unity rather than winning arguments, we can build stronger, more Christ-centered relationships that reflect God's love to the world around us. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/ -- 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?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter the challenge of raising spiritually and emotionally strong children in a world that seems to coddle and overprotect. This conversation delves into the importance of allowing our children to face and overcome obstacles, drawing parallels to how God allows us to face trials to build our spiritual resilience. Just as we're called to 'consider it pure joy' when facing trials (James 1:2-4), we're encouraged to view our children's struggles as opportunities for growth. The discussion emphasizes the need to balance love and discipline, teaching our children to be socially adept and respectful while nurturing their independence. This approach not only prepares them for the world but also mirrors how our Heavenly Father guides us - with love, discipline, and opportunities for growth. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to examine our own parenting styles and how they align with biblical principles of raising godly, resilient children. -- Have a question about relationships?

In this powerful discussion, we explore the essence of the Christian life and what it truly means to follow Christ. The conversation delves into the transformative power of encountering Jesus, emphasizing that Christianity is not about moralism or self-improvement, but about a radical change of heart through the work of the Holy Spirit. We're reminded of Ezekiel 36, where God promises to remove our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh, causing us to obey Him. This supernatural transformation is at the core of the Christian experience, moving beyond mere behavioral changes to a fundamental shift in our desires and identity. As we consider our own faith journeys, we're challenged to examine whether we've truly experienced this heart transformation or if we're still relying on our own efforts to live a 'good' life. The message encourages us to seek a genuine encounter with Christ, allowing His Spirit to work in us, rather than striving for moral perfection in our own strength. -- 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?

In this powerful conversation, we witness the transformative power of faith and community. We see how a couple's journey from a life of motorcycles and worldly pursuits to one centered on Christ can radically change not just their own lives, but the lives of their children and those around them. The story reminds us of the biblical narrative of Paul's conversion - a dramatic shift from persecutor to apostle. Just as Paul's life was completely reoriented by his encounter with Jesus, we see how this couple's lives were fundamentally changed by their decision to fully commit to Christ. This transformation wasn't without its challenges - letting go of old friendships, changing habits, and navigating a new way of life. Yet, through it all, we see the fruits of their faithfulness: a stronger marriage, a united family, and a deep sense of purpose. This story encourages us to examine our own lives and ask: Are we fully committed to Christ? What areas of our lives might God be calling us to surrender? How can we, like this couple, be a light in our communities and raise our families in the way of the Lord? -- Have a question about relationships?

In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the delicate balance between parental guidance and allowing our children to develop their own faith journey. The conversation draws parallels to the biblical story of Joshua and Rahab, reminding us that God's plan often unfolds in unexpected ways. We're challenged to consider how we can create a safe space for open dialogue about faith, values, and life's complexities within our families. The use of tools like conversation boxes and games to facilitate these discussions offers practical ways for us to engage with our loved ones on deeper spiritual matters. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own approach to parenting and mentoring, always seeking to lead with love, wisdom, and an understanding that God's grace extends to all of us in our imperfections. - Connect with: Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Pastor Sanaz Mesa https://www.instagram.com/sanazmesa/?hl=en Pastor Erica Levy https://www.instagram.com/erica.levy_np/ Nancy Navas https://www.instagram.com/nancysnavas/ -- 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?

In our journey of faith, we often face transitions that test our resolve and challenge our relationships. This conversation reminds us of the importance of unity in marriage and family, especially during times of change. We see how open communication, vulnerability, and the willingness to seek God together can strengthen our bonds. The story of Joshua leading the Israelites into the Promised Land parallels our own experiences of stepping into new seasons with faith and courage. Just as Joshua had to trust God's plan, we too must lean on His guidance when facing the unknown.This message encourages us to embrace change as an opportunity for growth, to involve our children in our faith journey, and to seek wisdom from our spiritual community. As we navigate life's transitions, let's remember that our ultimate identity is in Christ, not in our roles or achievements.

In this powerful discussion, we explore the transformative power of commitment in our spiritual journey. The conversation highlights how cynicism and skepticism can hinder our growth, while faith and perseverance can lead to profound spiritual experiences. We're reminded of the early Christian martyrs, particularly through the story of a 3rd-century believer in Germany who carried a scroll with scriptures, even when it was dangerous to do so. This parallel challenges us to examine our own dedication to faith in the face of modern challenges. The message emphasizes the importance of rooting ourselves in a church community, even when it's imperfect, drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's teachings on unity and love. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to put on our spiritual 'seatbelt' and commit to growth, allowing God's word to change us rather than trying to change it to fit our preferences. This perspective shift can lead to a renewed sense of purpose and joy in our faith journey. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/ -- 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?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments where we feel God's presence in unexpected ways. This conversation reminds us of the shepherd's light that guided the way to Jesus. Just as the shepherds followed a divine sign, we too can experience moments where we feel God's guidance in our lives. However, it's crucial to discern between genuine spiritual experiences and our own projections. The story shared about misinterpreting a dimmed light as a divine sign humorously illustrates how easily we can mistake everyday occurrences for spiritual interventions. This serves as a gentle reminder to approach our faith with both openness and critical thinking. As we navigate our spiritual paths, let's remain receptive to God's presence while also grounding ourselves in wisdom and discernment. -- Have a question about relationships?

As we reflect on the past year and look forward to the new one, we're reminded of the importance of gratitude and perspective in our spiritual journey. The conversation highlights how easily we can become discontent with our blessings, forgetting that what we consider mundane might be a luxury to others. This echoes the biblical principle of contentment found in Philippians 4:11-13, where Paul learned to be content in all circumstances. We're challenged to see God in every aspect of our lives, much like finding Waldo in a crowded picture. This practice of gratitude not only transforms our own hearts but also becomes a powerful testimony to others, potentially opening doors for evangelism. As we enter the new year, let's strive to be thermostats rather than thermometers in our environments, actively spreading joy and positivity instead of merely reflecting the mood around us. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Pastor Sanaz Mesa https://www.instagram.com/sanazmesa/?hl=en -- 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?

In our journey of faith and relationships, we often grapple with the question of timing - especially when it comes to marriage. This conversation delves into the biblical perspective on dating and engagement, reminding us that while there's no set timeline, there's wisdom in patience. The discussion touches on Ephesians 5:25, where husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. This powerful metaphor challenges us to examine our relationships through a spiritual lens. Are we cultivating Christ-like love in our dating lives? Are we seeking to honor God in our pursuit of a partner? These questions invite us to reflect on our own motivations and actions. The conversation also highlights the importance of character evaluation during dating, urging us to look beyond surface-level compatibility and seek evidence of spiritual maturity. As we navigate the complexities of modern dating, let's remember that our ultimate goal is to glorify God in our relationships, trusting His timing and guidance in our journey towards marriage. -- Have a question about relationships?

In our spiritual journey, we often grapple with the tension between biblical truth and cultural pressures. This conversation delves into the challenges of shepherding people through complex issues, particularly around sexuality and identity. The key message is about creating a safe space for honest exploration while remaining grounded in Scripture. Romans 12:1-2 reminds us to be 'living sacrifices,' not conforming to the world but being transformed by the renewal of our minds. This passage emphasizes the importance of surrendering our whole selves to God, including our struggles and desires. As we navigate these sensitive topics, we're encouraged to approach them with compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to learn from others' experiences. This balanced approach allows us to hold firm to biblical principles while showing Christ-like love and understanding to those wrestling with their faith and identity. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/ 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?

In today's discussion, we explore the profound impact of understanding and appreciating our loved ones' love languages. Drawing from Dr. Gary Chapman's 'The Five Love Languages,' we're reminded that each person has unique ways of giving and receiving love. This insight isn't just about improving relationships – it's about deepening our capacity for empathy and selflessness, qualities that are at the heart of Christ's teachings. As we reflect on how Jesus demonstrated love in various ways – through acts of service, quality time with disciples, affirming words, and physical touch in healing – we're challenged to broaden our own expressions of love. By learning to speak our partner's love language, we're not just strengthening our relationships, we're growing in our ability to love as Christ loved us. This journey of understanding and adapting reminds us of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, where love is described as patient, kind, and selfless.

In this powerful discussion, we're reminded of the importance of staying focused on our true calling as believers. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in John 6 is highlighted, showing how success in God's eyes often looks different from worldly success. We see Jesus intentionally 'weeding out' the crowd, focusing on the 12 disciples rather than chasing after popularity. This challenges us to reflect on our own motivations - are we chasing numbers and recognition, or are we truly focused on obeying God's calling for our lives? The conversation encourages us to embrace our humanity and limitations, recognizing that it's God who breathes life into our efforts and makes them grow. As we navigate the challenges of social media and public ministry, we're urged to find healthy rhythms of release and to prioritize feeding our souls rather than our egos. This message is a powerful reminder to stay grounded in our faith, even as we engage with the modern world. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Pastor Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/ Pastor Fuego Padilla https://www.instagram.com/iamfuegopadilla/ -- 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?

In our journey of faith, we're often challenged to navigate the complexities of family life, especially in blended families. This discussion reminds us that building a strong foundation in Christ is crucial, whether we're newlyweds or bringing children from previous relationships. The emphasis on developing a voice of leadership while showing grace and patience echoes the biblical model of Christ's leadership in the church. We're encouraged to create intentional moments of connection, like family dinners, where we can discuss our faith openly. This practice aligns with Deuteronomy 6:7, which instructs us to talk about God's commandments with our children in our daily lives. The message challenges us to reflect on how we're cultivating a Christ-centered home environment and invites us to consider ways we can better integrate our faith into our family dynamics. -- Have a question about relationships?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments that challenge our understanding of success and spirituality. This conversation delves deep into the heart of what it means to truly encounter God in our daily lives. We're reminded of Moses' transformation, from a man of great achievements to someone who simply desired God's presence above all else. This powerful biblical narrative invites us to reflect on our own priorities. Are we chasing accomplishments and spiritual experiences, or are we seeking a genuine, intimate relationship with God? The discussion challenges us to redefine success not by our achievements, but by our ability to be fully present - with God, our families, and in every moment. It's a call to slow down, to find God in the ordinary, and to value relationships over religious performance. As we navigate our own spiritual journeys, let's consider: How can we cultivate a deeper connection with God that transcends our busy schedules and societal expectations? -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Julian Lowe https://www.instagram.com/julianlowe/ Pastor Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/ Samuel 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?

In our journey through grief, we're reminded that it's not a process with a defined end, but rather a stone we carry in our pocket - always present, though its weight may lessen over time. This powerful metaphor invites us to embrace our grief as part of our ongoing spiritual journey. Just as Jesus wept for Lazarus, we too are allowed to grieve, even as people of faith. The story of Hannah in 1 Samuel teaches us about the importance of allowing others to grieve without trying to 'fix' their pain. As we support loved ones through loss, we're called to simply be present, echoing God's promise in Isaiah 43:2 that He is with us through the waters. This message challenges us to cultivate empathy, patience, and understanding in our relationships, recognizing that each person's grief journey is unique and deserving of respect.

In our journey of faith and leadership, we're reminded that true influence isn't demanded, but earned through genuine care and investment in others. The story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 teaches us a powerful lesson: our first emotion doesn't have to be our last. When faced with overwhelming odds, Jehoshaphat's initial fear gave way to faithful action as he stood before his people and called for prayer and fasting. This narrative encourages us to acknowledge our fears but not be immobilized by them. Instead, we're called to take that next step in faith, trusting that God will guide us from what we know to what we need to know. As we navigate our own challenges, let's remember that leadership isn't about perfection, but about progress and the courage to keep moving forward, even when we're afraid. -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/ Pastor Gerald Brooks https://www.instagram.com/geraldbrooksministries/ -- 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?

In our spiritual journey, we often face seasons of growth and stagnation. This discussion reminds us that true spiritual vitality comes not from religious performance, but from actively engaging in discipleship. The story of Moses, who spent 40 years as a shepherd before leading the Israelites, teaches us that God's timeline often differs from our own. We're encouraged to embrace the monotony, knowing it's in these seemingly uneventful periods that God is preparing us for greater purposes. The key to overcoming spiritual apathy lies in shifting our focus outward - actively listening to others, discipling new believers, and finding ways to serve. By doing so, we not only grow in our faith but also experience the joy of making heaven bigger. Let's challenge ourselves to write a list of 100 things we're grateful for, reminding ourselves of God's faithfulness even in dry seasons -- Connect with: Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/ Samuel 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?
