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.

Staying United in a Divided World | Marriage Monthly
Division is everywhere—politics, social media, opinions, and constant noise competing for our attention. And if we’re not careful, that division doesn’t just stay “out there”… it finds its way into our marriages.
In this January 2026 episode of Marriage Monthly, we talk honestly about how couples can stay united in a divided world. We explore why so many marriages are being discipled more by headlines than Scripture—and how refocusing on shared values, respect, and intentional connection can bring strength, peace, and unity back into your relationship.
This conversation is practical, faith-filled, and deeply encouraging for couples navigating today’s cultural tension together.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why division outside your marriage often creates division inside it
- How shared values matter more than shared preferences
- Practical ways to respect differences without letting them divide you
- Ground rules for healthy conflict that protect unity
- Why bonding memories are one of the most powerful tools for marriage
- How to be proactive instead of reactive in strengthening your relationship
What is one step you and your spouse can take this week to focus more on what unites you than what divides you?
