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.

What Is Truth How to Find Solid Ground in a World of Opinions

Wrestling with Pilate’s old question—“What is truth?” In a world of hot takes and endless scrolling, Jess and longtime friend Tracy unpack how to discern real, objective truth, build a life on it, and live it out with courage and peace.

Discover

Why truth must exist outside of us (John 14:6)
How modern culture tempts us to chase what our “itching ears” want (2 Tim. 4:3)
Practical ways to hear God in the noise and guard your heart
What standing firm looks like in parenting, the workplace, and friendships
How to anchor your life so shifting trends don’t shake your soul

Reflect

Where am I letting feelings or popularity outrank Scripture?
What boundaries help me hear God’s whisper this week?
Who’s my “truth-telling friend” that can lovingly challenge me?

Takeaway

Truth isn’t a vibe; Truth is a Person (Jesus). When you anchor to Him, you gain a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7) and the courage to stand—like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—even when lines get blurred.
