West Ridge Students

In this week's Student Discussion, Caleb talks with Cooper and Corey about dating in high school, what their perspective is, and how they try to navigate this area of their lives in pursuit of Jesus.  They also talk about the ideal date and Corey has the audacity to claim McDonald's has a better chicken sandwich than Chickfila.  There is also a special surprise at the 8:36 mark that shows you this is a guy's episode.

In this week's episode, former Reckless students Dakota and Maggie talk about their own journey of dating and how teenagers today can navigate through the dating process with healthiness and intentionality.

In this week's episode, Caleb interviews Hannah about being single as a high school student, how she has used the time and energy usually reserved for a dating relationship, and also what is the worst gift she could get for Valentine's Day.

Do you ever feel pressured to be in a relationship?  Has the world around you made you feel like there's something wrong with you if you aren't dating anyone?  In this week's episode, we look at singleness and why it can be a blessing to us.

In this week's episode, Caleb talks with Charlie and Reese (brother and sister NOT boyfriend and girlfriend) about dating relationships, how they are learning to find what they need in God alone, and their favorite flavors of ice cream. It's full of fun disagreements that you would expect from a brother and sister, and Caleb continues to fight for a Todd mullet.

In the first week of our new dating and relationship series, we'll look at the one relationship that is meant to give us worth, value, identity, and purpose.  We have to get this relationship right in order to get a relationship with a guy or girl right.

In this week's episode, Caleb talks with Ashley and Derek about our last week of the GOSPEL Series, how the Gospel has impacted their walk with Jesus, and what ingredient of Elf's favorite meal (noodles, syrup, Pop Tarts) they could do without.  Have a great Christmas and we'll see everyone back on January 9th!

In our last week of GOSPEL, we look at what it looks like to live fully in what Jesus has made available to us.  You'll hear an incredible story of transformation from Ruth Wittenbrook, our Global Missions Director at West Ridge.

In this week's student discussion, Caleb and Corey talk about some of the ways they understand the Gospel and the impact it has on us.  They also discuss Ephesians 2:10, an epic song from Surge Camp, and how Todd should get a mullet (not happening).

In Week 3 of GOSPEL, Spencer talks about the solution that Jesus provided for our sins and how that changed everything.

In this episode, Caleb and his guests discuss the effects of sin and how that impacts their understanding of who God is.

Have you ever thought, "I'm not that bad?"  Have you wondered if sin really is a big deal in the story of God? In this week's message, we look at the bad news of sin and how catastrophic it is, but how it paves the way for the Gospel to be the best news we've ever heard!

In this week's Student Discussion episode, Caleb interviews Eli and Lola-Reese about senior night, the Gospel, and why Chickfila fries and a Wendy's frosty is the ultimate combination.  They also rabbit-trail into Revelation and suggest that become a future series at Reckless.

This Sunday night was Senior Night, and our Class of 2022 students kicked off a new series called GOSPEL by talking about what God's original plan and purpose is for each of us in the beginning.

In this episode, Caleb talks with Corey, Cooper, and Braden about what they heard from our Reckless breakouts on Pornography, Social Media, Idols, and Anxiety/Depression.  

One of the biggest issues with today's teenagers is anxiety and depression.  In this breakout session, Shannon and 2 students (Charlotte & Reid) share their own battles and provide encouragement for others who struggle too.

What are the dangers and benefits of Social Media?  How can we use Social Media in a healthy way that glorifies God?  *NOTE: There were some technical issues with the audio, so we weren't able to capture the very beginning and end of the breakout. 

In this week's After Message discussion, Caleb talks with Michael, Jackson, and Tyler about the topic of sexuality and how they can find hope in the midst of sexual brokenness.  They also discuss why 2013 was the best year of their lives, even though Tyler "looked like a toenail".

When it comes to sexuality, the world around us has controlled the narrative.  They've led Gen Z to believe that what God offers is secondary to what the world offers us.  But what is the true beauty of sexuality as God designed it?  And how can we experience God's best in the midst of a broken sexuality that all of us possess?

In this week's After Message discussion, Caleb and Braden discuss the topic of Hell.  What truth can we hold onto?  What is the point of the Gospel?  And would a loving God send people to hell?  They also laugh, a lot, mainly at each other and not because hell is funny.
