Beyond the Letter

As the new year begins, Adam challenges the way we typically think about New Year’s resolutions. Instead of short-lived goals and burst motivation, this solo episode invites listeners to shift toward rhythms—sustainable habits and frameworks that actually shape a healthy life.Adam walks through six practical frameworks designed to help you close the previous season well, recognize what drains you versus what gives you life, and build routines that support long-term growth. Rather than chasing pressure or comparison, the focus is on alignment—aligning your values, pace, and priorities so your life produces real fruit.This conversation is both reflective and actionable, encouraging listeners to stop carrying what no longer belongs, protect what’s working, and intentionally design a year that is spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and relationally strong. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by resolutions that don’t last, this episode offers a wiser and more sustainable approach to the year ahead.--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--Have a question?

After walking through their family’s recent experience with an ADHD diagnosis, they unpack the frustrations many parents and adults feel toward the education system and its one-size-fits-all approach to learning. Adam shares his own journey with ADHD, how school nearly convinced him he wasn’t capable, and why discipline—not excuses—became the key to thriving in adulthood.Together, they talk through practical disciplines they’ve found helpful for both children and adults with ADHD, the dangers of turning diagnoses into crutches, and how to advocate for your child without lowering expectations. This episode isn’t anti-medication or anti-school—it’s pro-wisdom, pro-discipline, and pro-understanding how God uniquely wires people to thrive.Whether you’re parenting a child with ADHD, navigating it yourself, or simply trying to build better rhythms in the new year, this conversation brings clarity, hope, and a lot of real-life perspective.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

This one starts hilarious and ends way deeper than expected. Adam, Sammy, Jeff, and returning co-host Will Chung kick things off with holiday chaos, inside jokes, and stories that make you say, “Wait… y’all really did that?!” But the conversation pivots into something real: how leaders can look “put together” on the outside while still carrying old patterns on the inside.They talk burnout, capacity, and the difference between abstinence and actual recovery—how you can stop destructive habits but still be chasing the same inner need through “better-looking” addictions like work, ministry, or achievement. They unpack the question “What’s wrong with me?” vs. “What happened to me?”, how trauma shows up in the body, and why Sabbath, rhythms, and honest self-awareness matter if you want longevity. It’s funny, reflective, and surprisingly freeing—especially if you’ve been running on fumes.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Jeff Osborne https://www.instagram.com/jefftosborne/Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/--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?

The holidays are here, and Adam & Ashlee are keeping it light, loud, and hilarious. This episode is basically a Christmas living room moment—full of roasts, playful jabs, inside jokes, and the kind of marriage banter that only works when you actually love each other. They also take a second to shout out everyone who showed love in their Spotify wrapped and supported Beyond I Do all year—seriously, it means more than you know.Then they jump into a super relatable holiday question: what do you even gift someone who “already has everything”? Adam and Ashlee talk gift-giving styles, why thoughtful gifts hit deeper than expensive ones, and why “cash/gift cards” might actually be the most practical love language for some people (without the pressure and expectations 😅). Plus—if you’re watching on Christmas Day… there may or may not be coffee involved. 👀☕️--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam sits down with Dr. Paul Pitts III for a deeply grounding conversation about salvation, assurance, and the gospel’s steady power in everyday life. Together, they unpack why assurance isn’t ultimately found in emotional highs, personal performance, or constant self-examination—but in the finished work of Jesus: His righteous life, His sacrificial death, and His victory over sin as an eternal covenant for all who believe. They also talk through how God often moves through “ordinary” means—Scripture, prayer, church, repentance, and faithful consistency—when our generation is trained to chase novelty and instant results.They also go straight at two of the most common spiritual questions: “How do I know I’m saved?” and “Why hasn’t anything changed yet?” Dr. Pitts reframes assurance as assurance of the Savior, not obsession over the self—reminding listeners that feelings can follow truth, but they shouldn’t lead it. Adam and Dr. Pitts explore what sanctification actually looks like over time, why Jesus isn’t a quick-fix genie, and how real spiritual growth often happens slowly—but surely—when Christ remains the point. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, doubtful, or tired of the “what’s next?” mindset, this episode brings you back to the anchor: Jesus is enough, and the gospel still works.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Dr. Paul Pitts III https://www.instagram.com/paulpitts3/--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?
