This is the first of three episodes discussing things we often hear (or say) that are actually never seen in Scripture. Today's topic is: "The Bible never said that we are all God's children."  We believe everyone has inherent value, worth, and dignity as people made in the image of God. However, not everyone is a child of God. Is that true? Where do we get that from?  How do we know where we stand? How can we know for sure that we are children of God? Let's talk about it!PSA // YA Gathering is this Thursday (01.19.2023) 7PM at West Ridge Church!Click here to let us know what you think about today's episode and give us suggestions for future episodes.

In a world and culture measured by productivity, achievement and instant gratification, prayer can get lost in the noise. The act of slowing down to pray and spend time with God feels foreign in our culture, yet we believe at West Ridge Church that “nothing of eternal significance happens apart from prayer.” Join our host Jason Chandler and his guests, Lauren Monaco and Blake Odgers, as they discuss this past week's teaching on prayer from the Gospel of Mark.

If baptism is a proclamation of our faith in Jesus, have you ever wondered why Jesus was baptized? We explored this topic in our second week of the ‘Gospel of Mark' series at West Ridge Church. Join our host, Jason Chandler, and his guest, Caleb Bowen, this week as they discuss and dive deeper into Jesus' baptism and how He pleased the Father.

Today, we are excited to record this week's podcast on the 25th anniversary of West Ridge Church! It's been an exciting weekend of celebration here and we are excited to have a conversation about the vision Pastor Brian shared for the future of West Ridge and what God has done over the years. Julie Rape is our host this week and she is join by Shannon Purdy and Sawyer Strickland.

Today's conversation is with Todd Hampton, the High School Pastor at West Ridge Church in Dallas, Georgia. A vital component to West Ridge Church's student ministry is taking them to work in Nicaragua so they can experience missions first hand. Todd shares how this element has helped the students at West Ridge Church grow deeper in their faith.Want to learn how your church can partner with OneChild to bring HOPE to kids living in hard Places? Click Here!Most American teenagers have never experienced anything close to what they will when visiting a foreign country and serving those who have less than they do for an extended period of time. Todd shares how giving the young people at West Ridge the opportunity to step out of their limited context, causes them to come back with a clearer picture of how they can be a part of advancing the Kingdom of God. Second, West Ridge takes full advantage of the momentum gained through their missions trips by continuing to give students the chance to contribute to helping those same communities through prayer, giving and other projects throughout the year. West Ridge makes sure these students see the importance of lasting support beyond the week they travel there in person.And Todd gives some advice to missions pastors whose student pastor hasn't led an international missions trip before: be patient with them and build a support system around them. Help them see the value of these opportunities and work with them to organize a trip that becomes a part of the regular rhythm of the student ministry at your church.Learn More About West Ridge ChurchLearn more about OneChild HERE!

If you've grown up in or around the Church, then you've likely heard the word "Gospel" and may even know that it means "Good News" but do you truly see it as good ? Is the Gospel that you've believed in the true message that God is extending to the world or is it something else? If so, what really is the Gospel? What makes it so good? How is it good for you? Statistics From:Good Fath by David Kinnaman & Gabe Lyons Faith for Exiles by David Kinnaman & Mark MatlockOther Resources:The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith by Timothy KellerWhat is the Gospel? by Greg GilbertThe Explicit Gospel by Matt ChandlerThe WRC Young Adults Podcast exists to encourage and equip college students and young professionals to grow in their walk with Jesus Christ and live out their faith in every arena of their lives.
