Westside Podcast
This is the official weekly podcast of Westside Community Church in Beaverton, Oregon. We’re made up of a variety of people who like to keep it real, don’t take themselves too seriously and who want to get the most out of life. At Westside, we welcome people from all walks of life – in fact, there are NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED! We strive to be a "safe place to investigate faith" so people can come as they are and be themselves while they explore who Jesus is, find friends and make a difference.
We post content here that is practical, helpful, and relevant to real life. We hope you'll find the inspiration, motivation and help to grow.

Share Your Story With Boldness: Simple Prep, Real Impact
Found people find people. Today, Jess walks you through a simple, practical way to prepare your testimony so you can share Jesus with confidence—without needing a “dramatic” story. We’ll reflect on where God has shown up, pray for boldness, make room for divine interruptions, and use a 3-step framework to keep your story clear and impactful.
In this episode:
- Why preparation ≠ perfection (1 Peter 3:15)
- Reflection prompts to spot God’s fingerprints in your life
- How to pray for courage, words, and opportunities (2 Timothy 1:7)
- Making space to be interruptible like Jesus
- The BLESS rhythm (Begin, Listen, Eat, Serve, Share)
- A simple 3-step testimony: Before → How Jesus met me → Now
Challenge: Write a short, 2–3 minute version of your story. Share it with a trusted friend for feedback—then share it with someone who needs encouragement this week.
