West Ridge Students

As we conclude our series on HOLY WEEK, we take a look at the resurrection of Jesus.  Can we trust that this actually happened?  Why does the resurrection matter to our faith?

In this week's Student Discussion, Avery and Charlie talk with Caleb and Caleb about guilt and shame, what we do with that as followers of Jesus, and how we can learn from what Jesus dealt with to help us in our own difficult situations.  

In week 3 of our series, our seniors talk about all of the events that took place on Thursday & Friday and how all of it was meant to bring shame to Jesus.  However, because of the resurrection, His shame and ours can be turned into glory.

In this Student Discussion episode, Charlie and Avery talk with Emily and Kendall about their favorite holiday, their favorite Easter food, and why communion is important to our faith.  If you like to hear the sound of teenager girls laughing, this is the episode for you!

In week 2 of our HOLY WEEK Series, we look at the events on Thursday night, and how Jesus gave us a really important way to remember and celebrate the sacrifice that he made for us.

The Nicaragua Mini-Series includes several episodes in which Avery and Charlie talk with some of our Nicaragua 2024 team members about their experience and how God has deepened their faith through the trip.

Our first podcast involves conversations with Silas, Kayla, and Esther about their personal experience in Nicaragua this year.

This week, we begin a brand new series as we enter the Easter season.  As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the people line the streets in worship.  But do their hearts truly belong to Jesus?  How do we know that our worship is genuine or artificial?  Our Worship Pastor, Jason Chandler, challenges us on our true worship of Jesus.

This is part of our Nicaragua celebration service, where we talked about our Nicaragua trip over Winter Break and how God moved through our team.

Have you ever thought about how your decisions can impact your future and other people's future as well? In our last week of BUILD DIFFERENT, we look at the incredible story of Ruth in the Old Testament and how her loyalty impacted not only her life, but her ability to be part of the overall story God was writing.

This week, Avery and Charlie talk with Ava about courage.  Using the story of Daniel in the Old Testament, they talk about what courage looks like in today's culture, how difficult it can be to stand up for your faith, and why it can help to have an eternal perspective when making decisions.
