Beyond the Letter

• Raising Coachable Kids in a Me-First World | S4E6 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

  From backwash debates and water-bottle slander to championship soccer and college football chaos, this episode is all about sports, kids, and character. Adam, Aaron, and Haron unpack how youth sports can become one of the best classrooms for resilience, humility, and real-world discipleship—if we let them be more than a place to chase highlight reels.Adam shares stories from his son Matthias’ back-to-back championship soccer seasons: learning to play defense instead of chasing the spotlight, dealing with the pain of feeling like you “lost” personally even when your team wins, and being pushed to celebrate others even when you’re disappointed in yourself. The guys talk about how parents can either fuel entitlement (“my kid has to be the star”) or form character by helping their kids embrace their actual role on the team.They also get into coachability—showing up on time, body language, attitude, receiving correction—and why those traits matter more than raw talent in both sports and life. Adam pulls back the curtain on his time pastoring future NFL players, including a brutal story of a second-string running back who missed a Super Bowl moment because he couldn’t be coached. From youth leagues to D1 and the pros, they wrestle with American individualism, money, fame, and how all of it shapes the way we see team, family, church, and calling.If you’re a parent, coach, athlete, or just someone trying to raise (or become) a healthy adult in a me-first culture, this conversation will hit home.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/--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--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?

• Prophetic Love & Real Intimacy | S3E5 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

  In this special live episode recorded at Daniel and Jackie Groves’ church, Adam and Ashlee dive into a transformative conversation about what it truly means to love well in marriage—not by achieving perfection, but by embracing honesty, healing, and spiritual alignment. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 13, they explore how declaring “I am patient, I am kind” isn’t pretending to be something we’re not—it’s prophesying who God is shaping us to become. Love becomes less about performing and more about surrendering to divine transformation.They also unpack the reality that our past doesn’t magically vanish when we get married or come to Christ. Every wound, decision, and old relationship comes into the new season with us unless we intentionally pursue healing. Adam and Ashlee break down the **three layers of intimacy—spiritual, emotional, and physical—**and explain why so many couples stay frustrated when these layers are built in the wrong order.One of the most freeing truths from this conversation: it is not our job to fix our spouse. It’s our job to intercede for them. When we stop trying to be the Holy Spirit in our marriage and instead bring our partner before God, we release the pressure—and make room for true transformation.Whether you’re dating, engaged, or married, this episode calls you to build a love that lasts by letting God shape every layer of it.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

• Family Faith Boundaries | S3E4 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

  When convictions clash at the dinner table, how do you keep peace without caving? In this episode, Adam and Ashlee unpack how to handle family tension around faith—especially when relatives get offended or try to “Bible-bully” you. The core posture: a holy “don’t care” toward drama, not toward people. Hold your own convictions, honor others’ dignity, and refuse the bait. From navigating Catholic–Protestant differences (like communion etiquette and boundaries at Mass) to dealing with non-practicing relatives who still police your faith, this conversation offers level-headed language, real scripts, and a healthier way to love family without surrendering your walk with Jesus.You’ll hear how to separate emotions from truth, set clear boundaries with kindness, and keep inviting loved ones into your life even if they decline your church, baptism, or beliefs. The win? Living with consistent peace, character, and self-control so your life—not an argument—does the preaching. “I’m at peace with my convictions. I love you. You’re always invited.”--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

• Gen Z’s Work Playbook | S4E4 BEYOND THE LETTER

  In this solo episode, Adam gets practical about why so many young adults feel stuck at work—and what to do about it. No fluff, no finger-wagging. He lays out a clear four-part framework Gen Z (and anyone, really) can use to actually thrive: (1) build a personal foundation (character, routines, emotional control, time management), (2) level up relationally (real communication, conflict resolution, healthy boundaries, understanding personality types), (3) grow professionally (initiative, problem-solving, excellence, true professionalism), and (4) lock in purpose (make career moves that align with your values and long-term life rhythm).You’ll hear practical examples—from showing up on time and owning mistakes, to speaking clearly in person (not outsourcing your voice to AI), to earning recognition by solving real problems instead of chasing constant pats on the back. If you’ve wondered why “doing your job” hasn’t led to momentum—or how to turn discipline into opportunity—this episode gives you a straightforward playbook you can start using today.-Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/--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--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?
