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:

Integrity isn’t just about what we believe—it’s about what holds those beliefs together when life pulls us in every direction. In this episode, Caleb joins as the guest to talk about what true integrity looks like, how it’s tested, and how we can build a life that doesn’t crumble under pressure.

Discover how spiritual alignment, self-control, and community help you stay steady in a world full of distractions. We’ll unpack what Scripture says about living with integrity, why consistency matters, and practical ways to stay grounded—no matter what shakes you.

Discover:

• The difference between character and integrity
• Why self-control is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines today
• The danger of divided focus and how to simplify your commitments
• How to pick your plan and stick to it with biblical integrity
• Why community is key to living a life that lasts
• How journaling, prayer, and intentional reflection realign your heart and actions

Building integrity isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. Let’s talk about how to stay strong when life starts to sway.

Key Takeaways:

• Integrity is the “rebar” that strengthens your life and character
• Principles only become real when they’re tested
• Focus, discipline, and community protect your integrity
• True transformation starts when you humble yourself before God
• Growth happens when you consistently reflect, pray, and stay aligned

Question for you to think about:

Where in your life do you need to add “rebar”—that extra strength—to keep from crumbling when things get tough?

Wrestling with Pilate’s old question—“What is truth?” In a world of hot takes and endless scrolling, Jess and longtime friend Tracy unpack how to discern real, objective truth, build a life on it, and live it out with courage and peace.

Discover

• Why truth must exist outside of us (John 14:6)
• How modern culture tempts us to chase what our “itching ears” want (2 Tim. 4:3)
• Practical ways to hear God in the noise and guard your heart
• What standing firm looks like in parenting, the workplace, and friendships
• How to anchor your life so shifting trends don’t shake your soul

Reflect

1. Where am I letting feelings or popularity outrank Scripture?
2. What boundaries help me hear God’s whisper this week?
3. Who’s my “truth-telling friend” that can lovingly challenge me?

Takeaway

Truth isn’t a vibe; Truth is a Person (Jesus). When you anchor to Him, you gain a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7) and the courage to stand—like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—even when lines get blurred.
