About this listen

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.

    Nov 6 2025

    Send us a text

    This week, Pastor Gabe Kolstad sits down with Colby and Jan to talk about what it really means to live your dream life for God.

    Both of their stories show that following God’s calling often means stepping out of your comfort zone, facing fear head-on, and trusting that He’ll meet you there — through the pain and the passion.

    From teenage faith to seasoned wisdom, Colby and Jan share how God is shaping their dreams, growing their courage, and using their lives to impact others.


    Discover:

    • How to recognize when the enemy is fighting hardest against your purpose
    • What it means to step out in faith even when you’re scared
    • How God meets you in the intersection of pain and passion
    • The power of compassion, community, and obedience
    • Why trusting God leads to renewed peace and purpose


    Whether you’re a student, a parent, or in a new season of life, this episode will inspire you to take your next leap of faith and trust that God’s purpose will stand.


    Key Takeaways:

    • God calls us to courage, not comfort.
    • Your pain and passion reveal your purpose.
    • Fear loses its power when you act in faith.
    • You can’t do it alone — God must be your strength.


    Question for you to think about:

    What step outside your comfort zone could bring you closer to God’s dream for your life?

  • Isolation Is Terminal | The Power of Brotherhood in Men’s Alliance
    Oct 29 2025

    Send us a text

    This week, Jess sits down with Matt Casteel and Steve Quick (aka “Clean Cut” and “Flash”) to unpack the powerful movement happening among the men of Westside — Men’s Alliance.


    Discover what’s drawing dozens of guys out to the fire pit in rain, snow, or shine… and why this brotherhood is transforming lives. From burpees to devotionals, laughter to real-life struggles, you’ll hear how men are finding strength, faith, and purpose — together.


    Discover:

    • What Men’s Alliance is and how it started at Westside
    • Why brotherhood and community are essential to spiritual growth
    • The phrase “Isolation is terminal” — and what it means for men today
    • Real stories of faith, transformation, and courage
    • How anyone (no matter fitness level or faith background) can join


    When men show up, walls come down, and faith gets stronger. Whether you’re part of Men’s Alliance or just curious, this episode will challenge and inspire you to face life’s giants — together.


    Key Takeaways:

    • Brotherhood breaks isolation and fuels courage.
    • Community makes faith stronger and more real.
    • Everyone needs people who will “hold up their arms” when life gets heavy.
    • Just show up — growth starts with connection.


    Question for you to think about:

    Who are the people in your life that help hold your arms up when you’re tired?
