Founder and Lead Pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship

Shane Idleman is the founder and lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship, in Lancaster, Ca. and now Leona Valley, Ca. He also began the Westside Christian Radio Network – WCFRadio.org – in 2019.  His sermons, books, articles, and radio program have sparked change in the lives of many.

Shane, however, believes that we can, and offers his books as contributions to that commitment. He stresses: “If we encourage truth, yet fail to relate to our culture, the church can seem formal and dead. This fact fuels the postmodern movement. But when truth is sacrificed for the sake of relating to the culture, as we see today, the very foundation is destroyed.

Truth, the foundational beliefs clearly outlined in Scripture, must remain unmoved and unchanged. Times change, but truth does not!” Shane’s ministry has sparked change in the lives of many. He’s calling families, marriages, and the country back to biblical principles and absolute truth.

“Shane Idleman rings a clarion bell for the church today, calling it to its primary duty, to proclaim the truth in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

– Alex Montoya; Associate Professor of Pastoral Ministries, The Master’s Seminary, Sun Valley, Ca.

Left Corporate America Behind to Follow a Dream God Placed in His Heart

Author/speaker, Shane Idleman, has written 12 compelling, biblically-based books, and has obtained quotes from such noted pastors and leaders as Jack Hayford, D. James Kennedy, Tony Perkins, David Barton, Mike MacIntosh, Dr. Peter Lillback, Raul Ries, and Jim Garlow, and from organizations such as the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Promise Keepers, American Family Association, and Family Research Council.

What makes this story so inspiring is that Idleman had a promising career as a Corporate Executive, but he left it behind to follow a dream that God placed in his heart after he committed his life to Christ.

In his words: “While I had focused on prosperity, wealth, and success, I had starved my soul. I tried everything that the world had to offer, but ultimately, I found that it offered little of lasting value.”

When asked why he thought that his books are being so well received, he added: “The overwhelming response simply reflects the need that we all have for the truths found in God’s Word.”

Shane is known for crossing denominational lines. In his words, “We need sound doctrine and the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s possible to be Bible taught, but not Spirit led—straight as a gun barrel theologically, but just as empty. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. We desperately need both” (cf. II Corinthians 3:6).
