Beyond the Letter

• What Happens When You Actually Read the Bible? | S4E10 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

  What happens when someone who barely knows the Bible actually starts reading it—and it wrecks them in real time? In this episode, Adam, Sammy, Fuego, and Sanaz sit down to talk about the raw, disruptive power of God’s Word and what it really looks like to disciple people who know almost nothing about Jesus, church, or Scripture.They start with a wild childhood snake story (yes, a real python on a bucket of cookies used as a sermon illustration on temptation) and use it as a picture of how sin looks harmless until you reach for it. From there, the conversation zooms out to our current moment: a generation that’s biblically illiterate, de-churched, and yet deeply hungry—like the viral influencer who started reading the Bible on camera, got confronted by Jesus’ teaching on lust and dehumanizing people, and found his desires changing just from engaging Scripture.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Fuego Padilla https://www.instagram.com/iamfuegopadilla/Sanaz Mesa https://www.instagram.com/sanazmesa/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

• Is He Leading You On? Cab-light Theory | S3E9 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

  In this episode, Adam and Ashlee respond to the viral “cab-light theory” — the idea that men suddenly “turn their light on,” get serious, and commit to the next girl who shows up… even if they just told the last one they “weren’t ready.” They unpack whether it’s really “right person, wrong time,” or if it’s often a lack of discipline, standards, and honesty in dating.They also talk about Christian sexual ethics, moving in together, “playing house,” and why so many couples give each other all the benefits of marriage with none of the covenant. Ashlee shares how past relationships and breakups shaped her insecurities, Adam shares from years of pastoring couples, and together they offer super practical (and pretty direct) advice on boundaries, timelines, engagement, and why you can’t change someone who never wanted marriage in the first place. If you’re single, dating, or parenting teens/young adults, this one is a must-listen.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

• Are You Called or Just Chasing Clout? | S4E9 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

  In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Sammy slides into the host chair and is joined by Haron and special guest Allan Walters—three former youth pastors who’ve spent years discipling the next generation. Together they tackle one big question: are you actually called, or just chasing influence?Allan shares how a lifelong desire to help people, plus years of youth and young adult ministry, slowly revealed his calling—not through a “burning bush moment,” but through consistent burdens and faithfulness. Haron talks about getting saved, starting a random campus Bible study, serving on Skid Row, and discovering that calling usually shows up as a conviction to help people long before it looks like a platform.If you’ve ever thought, “I feel something… but I don’t know if it’s really a calling,” or you’re torn between ministry, creativity, and influence, this conversation will help you slow down, get honest, and refocus on the One who’s actually calling you.--Connect with:Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/Allan Walters https://www.instagram.com/alllanwalters/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

• Your Spouse Listens to Everyone but You | S3E8 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

  What do you do when it feels like your spouse cares more about their friends’ opinions than yours? In this episode, Adam and Ashlee react to a viral clip of a husband who says his wife “respects her friends more than her husband,” then unpack what respect in marriage really looks like. They talk about the difference between wanting respect and demanding control, how roles and finances can affect respect, and why so many couples feel unseen or unheard in their own home.Ashlee also gets honest about how she vents and processes with friends, why she is extremely careful about how she talks about Adam, and why your “venting buddy” can either protect or poison your marriage. Adam shares a fresh story from their own home about Christmas-tree stress, short tempers, and what it looks like to NOT take everything personally, but still communicate honestly and grow. If you’ve ever wondered how much to share with friends, how to protect your spouse’s character, or how to balance forgiveness with boundaries, this conversation is for you.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

• When the Internet Comes for You | S4E8 BEYOND THE LETTER

  In a world where one comment, clip, or TikTok can reshape your entire reputation, this episode hits different. Adam sits with Aaron and Jermaine to break down how social media has changed the way we see people — and how fast a single moment can follow you for years.From a viral post misidentifying Adam as “the rudest pastor ever” (for something that wasn’t even him — and happened 15 years ago) to a local business collapsing overnight after one filmed interaction, the guys unpack why today's culture gives you zero room for mistakes. They explore borrowed offense, digital dogpiling, and why people online judge with no context but full confidence.But this episode goes deeper. The conversation becomes a masterclass in conflict, character, and relationships — how to apologize well, how to repair trust, and why so many people today don’t actually know how to restore anything. They talk parenting, marriage counseling, generational wounds, timeliness drama 😂, and the humility required to build healthy relationships that don’t crumble at the first misunderstanding.If you’ve ever been misunderstood, misrepresented, or misread — online or in real life — this episode is a must-watch.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
