In this week’s episode, Adam and Ashlee sit down for a completely unscripted, last-minute conversation that turns into one of their most honest Q&A sessions yet. From dreams they’ve never fully said out loud to the habits that help (and hurt) their marriage, they walk through a set of intentional life-planning questions designed to help couples get clear, get connected, and get real about their future together.They open up about insecurity, confidence, routines, parenting, schedule strain, and the pressures of balancing ministry, marriage, and family life. Adam shares why honesty and self-awareness matter more to him than perfection, while Ashlee talks about confidence, health, and what it feels like to carry unspoken expectations. Together, they unpack how far they’ve come, what they used to disagree on, and what they hope the next season of marriage looks like.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

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.

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?

In this episode, Adam and Jermaine dig into the surge of Christian films and series—and what it really takes to translate Scripture to the screen with integrity. They unpack where creative license helps (and where it hurts), why the end message has to remain faithful, how scholar/pastor councils shape scripts, and the practical production tensions that come with timelines, budgets, and audience expectations.They also talk through recent and upcoming Bible-based projects, the importance of context and theology in pivotal scenes, and how live AI fact-checking can keep conversations sharp without slowing the flow.

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?

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?

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee unpack the Hebrew concept of Selah—a sacred pause to reflect, rest, and simply sit in God’s goodness. In a culture obsessed with sharing every highlight, this conversation challenges us to slow down and rediscover the beauty of presence over performance.The discussion explores how modern life—and especially social media—has blurred the line between connection and validation. We’re reminded that real relationships don’t need an audience, and our most meaningful moments don’t require applause. Whether in marriage, friendship, or faith, we’re called to build Selah moments that anchor us in gratitude, stillness, and authentic community.This episode is a refreshing call back to rhythm—to embrace hallelujah (praise), amen (agreement), and Selah (rest) as a lifestyle that keeps our hearts centered on what truly matters.--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 is joined by Sammy for a powerful conversation on the intersection of faith, thought life, and technology. Drawing from Jesus’s words in the Sermon on the Mount, the discussion explores how sin begins not with our actions, but with the thoughts we allow to take root in our minds.As AI and digital media increasingly blur the lines between fantasy and reality, this message couldn’t be more relevant. The group unpacks the pattern—head, heart, hands—revealing how our thoughts shape our hearts and eventually guide our actions. From virtual temptation to mental renewal, the call is clear: transformation begins with a renewed mind. Inspired by Romans 12 and the Greek idea of metanoia (a complete change of mind), this conversation challenges believers to guard their thoughts, resist digital distortion, and pursue holiness from the inside out.-Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/--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?

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee sit down with Sammy and Chandler to tackle one of the most important topics in marriage—how to handle conflict in a healthy, God-honoring way.

In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam addresses the growing trend of viral videos and popular teachings that misrepresent the Bible. Many ideas sound spiritual but don’t stand on the foundation of Scripture.Adam challenges us to dig deeper than surface-level faith, reminding us that God’s Word is the ultimate standard of truth. Using examples from Exodus and beyond, he shows how misinterpretations can lead us astray—and how rightly dividing Scripture keeps us rooted in God’s design. This conversation is a call to believers everywhere: don’t just accept what sounds good, study God’s Word for yourself. Only then can we stand firm, refute falsehood, and walk in truth.--Connect with:Pastor 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?

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee unpack the powerful link between our physical health and our spiritual well-being.

From standing during the reading of Scripture to the rhythms of communion, the conversation invites us to reflect on how ancient traditions and practices can still shape our worship today.This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s an invitation to root ourselves deeper in the timeless truths of our faith. By exploring the unity and diversity that has characterized Christian worship across two millennia, we’re encouraged to be curious, reflective, and intentional in how we live out our faith in the present.

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee tackle one of the most relevant challenges couples face today: social media and boundaries with the opposite sex. While the Bible doesn’t mention Instagram or DMs, the principle from Matthew 5:28 about guarding our hearts still applies in the digital age.This conversation is a call to honor our commitments by setting healthy boundaries online and offline. It’s not about legalism—it’s about cultivating purity, protecting our relationships, and reflecting Christ in everything we do. Whether married, dating, or preparing for your future spouse, this episode challenges us to consider: how can our online choices strengthen rather than sabotage our most important relationships?--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments of struggle and temptation. This episode explores the powerful story of a new believer's transformation, reminding us that becoming a child of God is not about perfection, but about progress.
Joined by Aaron and Sanaz, Adam reflects on how the narrative echoes Peter's denial of Christ, showing that even in our weakest moments, God's love remains steadfast. Malachi 3:3 paints the image of God as a refiner of silver, reminding us that trials and temptations serve to purify us, shaping us into Christ's image.
As we navigate our struggles, we’re encouraged to embrace the refining process, trusting that God watches over us and never leaves us in the fire longer than necessary. Our journey isn’t about instant change but about gradual transformation through His grace.--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Pastor Aaron Levy https://www.instagram.com/_aaronlevy/Pastor 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--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?
