🎙️ Podcast Series: How to Read the Bible A 4-part series from Westside Family Church designed to help you engage Scripture with understanding, relationship, and transformation. Each conversation unpacks a practical approach to reading the Bible so you can grow in loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus.

We were once dead in our sins, but God’s grace made us alive through Christ. Salvation isn’t earned—it’s received through faith—so we can live out the good works God prepared for us with eternal purpose.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Whether you’re facing illness, broken relationships, or loss, true strength comes from more than self-reliance—it comes from God’s power. In this episode, we explore how an ongoing relationship with Him and living in community with other believers can transform how you face every struggle.

Are your prayers stuck on repeat? Discover how to move from routine to relationship in this powerful message on the life-changing power of prayer. Drawing from Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15-23, learn practical steps to deepen your connection with God, shift your prayer focus, and embrace a kingdom mindset. We’ll unpack three key characteristics of Paul’s prayer model—consistency, gratitude, and focus on others—and explore how starting with thanksgiving can reduce anxiety, grow your faith, and align your heart with God’s purposes. Whether you’re new to prayer or seeking to strengthen your spiritual growth, this message offers tools to help you: Develop a deeper relationship with God Pray with intentionality and confidence Move beyond self-focused prayers to kingdom impact Experience the same power that raised Christ from the dead Start transforming your prayer life today! 📖 Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:15-23

Are you anchoring your identity in things that don’t last—career, relationships, achievements, or possessions? In this message from Ephesians, we explore how Paul reveals the life-changing truth of who we are in Christ: blessed, chosen, adopted, redeemed, and heirs to God’s inheritance. Many struggle with identity in today’s culture of “my truth” and “self-definition,” but real freedom comes from embracing who God says you are. Learn how to put off the old self, put on the new, and live with unshakable confidence in your God-given identity. Practical steps, powerful scripture, and eternal truths—this message will help you move these identity statements from your head to your heart.

Join Pastor Randy Frazee for an intimate and powerful conversation with Lindsey Roy, author of "The Gift of Perspective." In this inspiring episode, Lindsey shares her extraordinary journey through not one, but two life-altering health crises that reshaped her understanding of faith, purpose, and perspective. Lindsey opens up about the devastating 2013 boating accident that resulted in the amputation of her left leg below the knee and severe damage to her right leg. With remarkable candor, she recounts the physical and emotional challenges of her recovery, and how this first crisis began reshaping her worldview and deepening her faith. But Lindsey's story takes an unexpected turn as she reveals her second battle—a rare and life-threatening lung condition in 2021 that ultimately led to a double lung transplant. Pastor Randy guides the conversation through this second mountain Lindsey had to climb, exploring how her earlier experiences prepared her for this new challenge. Throughout the discussion, Lindsey shares: How her faith not only sustained her but grew exponentially during these trials The spiritual insights that emerged from physical suffering Practical wisdom for finding purpose in pain The unexpected gifts discovered in life's darkest moments How her relationship with God transformed through vulnerability and surrender This conversation goes beyond mere inspiration to offer authentic hope for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. Lindsey's story reminds us that our greatest difficulties often become the soil from which our deepest faith and most meaningful perspectives grow.

In this Sunday's message, we explored the concept of strongholds—destructive patterns of thinking or behavior that are built on lies and heart-level attachments. These strongholds can trap us in cycles of dysfunction, comfort, and isolation, preventing us from experiencing the true freedom and joy that God intends for us. By understanding how these strongholds form and recognizing their impact on our lives, we can begin the journey to break free. This message emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort, taking courageous action, and seeking authentic relationships to dismantle these barriers. Join us as we learn to leverage divine power and personal transformation to move towards a life of healing, purpose, and abundant joy.
