When I first moved to Georgia I thought I was only going to be here for 3 months, so it didn't feel worth it to make connections. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that God had a plan for me in Atlanta, and I wasn't going anywhere soon.

But after spending months fighting God's plans I felt isolated and alone. My first step was getting back to church and that helped a little with the isolation and loneliness, but it wasn't until I started making strong male friends at Westside that I began calling Atlanta home. I've now been here seven years and can honestly say I have made the deepest friendships of my life.

So save the date. The Men's Fall Kickoff is just around the corner. If you are a man at Westside and like good BBQ, co****le, and hanging with the lads, then this event is for you. My hope is that you will get to meet someone new and get excited about all the opportunities for connection that are coming your way this fall. Just like the grill, we are turning up the heat on Men's Events. We are going to be meeting monthly, getting to know each other better, and most importantly, diving deeper into connection with God.

I can't promise that you will make a seven-year friendship at our kickoff. But I can promise that if you come and keep showing up, God is going to surprise in ways you never expected, and you will get to eat some really great BBQ along the way!

P.S. The photo above is from Strong Rock Camp, where I got to visit this week. Standing there, all I could think about was the connection and community that's going to be built in that place this October.

Where do you fit at Westside?

You walk in. Everyone already seems to know each other, and you’re holding a coffee just to have somewhere to put your hands. That’s the awkward, overwhelming feeling being new often brings. We want you to drop your shoulders and know exactly where to take your next step as you grow in faith, share life with fellow Westsiders, and seek to be equipped to go out and share the Gospel.

We have four simple pathways for whatever you’re looking for in your current age and stage.

📅 Events: one-time gatherings built for connection, equipping, and inspiration.
📝 Classes: six to eight weeks, Sunday or midweek, digging into Scripture and real life.
🧱 Formation Groups: small, ongoing communities where you’re shaped by Scripture and by the people around you.
🌱 Life Groups: space for connection around the season you’re actually in, whatever that looks like right now.

Though I wouldn't consider myself an anxious person, fear has slowly and stealthily crept into more areas of my life in recent years, and I think it's one of the places God is inviting me to live more deeply in this current season. Fear about the uncertainty of the future. My imagination running down rabbit trails of worst-case scenarios. Realizing I'm not sure you could convince me to try scuba diving now, when 20-something me might've been up for it.

When I imagine difficult future scenarios, I'm living in a practical forgetfulness of God, imagining a future without Him in it and forgetting His character. He cares. He is all good, all wise, and always at work.

A friend recently reminded me that I am God's responsibility. Like Jesus points out in Matthew 6, God cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. How much more will He care for me?

In this season, He is drawing me into deeper dependence on Him: to seek His face continually, as Psalm 105 says, to remind myself of His presence, and to grow my imaginative hope that He is working out good, even in the hard things.

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

We’re in a season of reflection this week, and honestly, gratitude. Welcoming people we know and love back through our doors, growing our Westside community, meeting new faces and making new connections. It’s been a joy watching everyone return from a wonderful summer, and we’re only getting started. Fall is coming, and we can’t wait for what it holds!

In this season of life, God has called me to live deeply by trusting Him completely and living in full reliance on Him.

This past year has been a season of broken relationships, ministry frustrations, and rejection letters for career opportunities. Prayers that get answered "no" or "not yet". It feels like I am in a room with no way out. A door will materialize, and as I walk towards it and turn the k**b, the door remains locked, then evaporates, and I am left sad and confused. Why would God lead me to a relationship if it ends in heartbreak? Why would I get referred to a job and interview if I don't end up getting it? Why do I plant the seed and till the field if the Lord does not make it grow?

In this season, God has met me in this space.

Psalm 62 reminds me that from God alone comes salvation and that I will wait for Him in silence. He alone is my rock and fortress, and because of Him, I will not be shaken.

God has reassured me that through Jesus, I am an adopted son. He has taken care of my greatest need, my spiritual need, through the cross. God made a way for me when there was no way. I am in total reliance on Him. I find peace that in this season, God has called me to live deeply by waiting on Him to move. I trust that He will bring the right door at the right time, and until then, I will serve the Lord.

From the nursery to 5th grade, they create a place of belonging and share the good news of Jesus, starting on day one in the nursery.

We're heading into fall with real needs. If you've been looking for a way in, here's the list:

Greeter — welcome families, keep our kids safe
Sunday School Leader — ages 3 through 5th grade
Children's Worship Leader — 10:00 hour, teaching kids the rhythms of worship
Nursery — caring for our babies through age two

You're invited to come be part of the celebration. To sign up, visit: atlantawestside.org/westside-kids

Say hello to Biz Felker, our new Director of Operations! 🙌

Biz is officially part of the Westside team, and we couldn't be more excited. She's a leader who will help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

We asked her 10 rapid-fire questions to help you get to know her faster than a hallway introduction. Check out her answers below, then drop a welcome in the comments. Let's show Biz some Westside love. 👇

1) Where are you from, and how long have you lived in Atlanta? "I'm an Atlanta native!"
2) Go-to coffee order? "Vanilla latte."
3) Karaoke song, zero hesitation? "Friends in Low Places."
4) Favorite Westside memory? "Too many to choose from, but this year's pickup soccer game at the All Church Retreat in March is a top one."
5) Beach or mountains? "Can I say both? I love them equally."
6) A Bible verse shaping this season? "Philippians 3:10, that I may know him and the power of his resurrection."
7) A random talent? "Wedding cake cutting."
8) Biggest hope for your time at Westside? "That through Westside, many people would come to know Jesus for the first time, and know Him more deeply."
9) Comfort food after a long week? "Pho!"
10) How has Westside started to feel like home already? "Experiencing the love and support of the church during a season of deep personal loss last year."

New to Atlanta? Just moved to the Westside? Starting school this week? Looking for a church home this fall? Never been to church before? We’d love to meet you. 👋

We’re Atlanta Westside, a church built to embody and preview the Kingdom of God from Buckhead to Bankhead. That’s not a tagline. It’s our commitment to be a bridge between communities, showing up as loving neighbors.

Every Sunday we worship at 8:30 and 11:00 am. We’d love to see you there!

At 34, the Lord has been calling me to live deeply by truly enjoying the gift of singleness. A few years ago, I wasn't sure what city I'd be in by now, whether I'd be married, have kids, or be in a totally different career. But in a city and culture where most people "settle down" in their early 20s, I've leaned into the path the Lord has ordained for me at this stage of life.

So how have I done that? For years I wanted to do something adventurous like solo travel, but I kept waiting for the "perfect time," which of course meant kicking the can down the road and never acting on it. Finally, in December 2021, I took my first solo trip to Paris, and I haven't looked back since. South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Japan. The list goes on.

I've realized I have the bandwidth and means, in this stage of life, to do things like international travel that bring me so much joy, things many others don't have the time or resources for. It's really a means of grace the Lord has given me, to see so much of the world and experience His goodness through different cultures and beauty along the way.

So instead of waiting for the perfect moment to "live life fully," intentionally experiencing the goodness and depth of this life God has given me has looked like lots of fun trips, great meals, cocktails, and deep friendships. And as I lean into the depth of this wonderful gift of life He's given me, I'm excited to see all the ways He'll continue to mold and shape me through His Spirit as I keep living deeply.
