    So thankful to have clear, relevant, biblical teaching, without showmanship... love the way these pastors are dedicated to preaching God’s word, not elevating themselves. Thank you Matt and Westside.

  • Thank you

    Thank you Matt and Norm and all the Westside leadership for seeking God and sharing his word with such thoughtfulness and humility. And thank you for not mincing words or shying away from uncomfortable truths. I miss Westside deeply, but am soo grateful for these podcasts- been sharing them all over Australia and Asia and they have blessed not just me but so many of my friends!

  • Grateful for this Podcast

    Norm is clearly one of my favourite teachers in Canada. I would encourage anyone to listen and gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and its application in 2018 under Norm and his team of pastors at Westside.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&R - How Can I Be Sure I Have the Holy Spirit?
Q: What does it mean to pray in the Spirit?
Matt describes praying in the Spirit as communing with God while abiding in him. Speaking in tongues is not the same thing, since a person can speak in tongues either in the flesh or in the Spirit.
Q&R - How Can I Be Sure I Have the Holy Spirit?
Q: How can I be sure I have the Holy Spirit, and how do we know that the Spirit is in us?
Matt says that anyone who belongs to Jesus has already experienced the Holy Spirit's work, because faith itself depends on that work. Living filled with the Spirit is shown by the fruit of the Spirit, and believers can pursue that life through abiding, surrender, waiting, turning from sin, and obedience.
Q&R - The interpretations and testing of Daniel’s prophecies
Q: Could you give a recommendation on how and how not to do your own research?
Matt recommends consulting trustworthy theologians and pastors, considering multiple counselors and church history, treating the Bible as authoritative, and remaining humble and open to learning rather than becoming divisive over secondary issues.
Q&R - The interpretations and testing of Daniel’s prophecies
Q: When Daniel and the Apostle John both had the apocalyptic visions, how did they test and prove those revelations were true?
Matt says Daniel and John were recording divinely inspired Scripture, a unique event distinct from contemporary prophetic words. Modern impressions should be tested against Scripture and the Christian community.
Q&R - Does the Bible condone or condemn slavery?
Q: How would you approach Paul's teaching on slavery? He did not condemn it, but gave instructions for slaves and masters, yet Christians and the Church today condemn slavery.
Matt and Erin describe slavery as a reality addressed in scripture, while arguing that the gospel's central freedom is liberation from sin and death. They affirm Christian efforts to abolish slavery and say the biblical text should shape modern assumptions.
