How do you know if it’s God’s voice or just your own thoughts? In this deep-dive episode, Adam, Sammy, and Will unpack the tension between being emotionally led vs. Spirit-led, and why so many believers wrestle with discerning God’s voice in their everyday lives. He breaks down the dangers of assuming God always affirms your desires—and how the Holy Spirit often challenges, corrects, and sanctifies us rather than just co-signing our feelings.Drawing from both Scripture and lived experience, this conversation brings clarity to confusing moments in faith, relationships, and major decisions. If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s your emotions, your trauma, or truly God speaking… this episode will help you pause, discern, and follow with confidence.--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Pastor Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/

In this solo episode, Adam unpacks the rising tension between Catholicism and mainline Christianity, not from a place of debate, but from honest cultural observation. Why does it feel like some Catholic leaders are targeting Protestants more than unbelievers? Is unity still possible with so much division in how we worship and understand authority? From personal DMs to viral TikToks, Adam offers a pastoral perspective on the Catholic Church’s public stance, the challenges of tradition vs. transformation, and how to stay centered on Jesus through it all.Rather than getting caught in theological weeds, this episode takes a seat at the lunch table—where real conversations happen. It’s a call to humility, spiritual awareness, and the kind of unity Jesus prayed for in John 17. Whether you’ve got Catholic roots or just questions, this one’s for you.--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?
