Ep. 18. "The Ring of Fire." Featuring my wife Elise

Raising kids, lifting up my fellow brothers and sisters, shredding guitar, headbanging and praying. Resisting hellfire. All while taking an occasional break to talk to friends and family about the &#34;ups and downs&#34; of life.

Hello everyone, my name is Alfredo Carranza, and I have decided to start this little podcast out of a necessity I think is crucial and much needed in this current day in age we’re in. In a world where everyone seems to have an “extreme point of view” on everything, I have witnessed friendships severed between people, and families torn apart due to their views on such things like: politics, finding religion, or loosing faith in their religion, coming out, seeking medicinal help, rejecting medicinal help, finding and or rejecting help through sobriety. You know, THOSE HARD THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.

Now, these aren’t topics I necessarily intend to discuss in any attempt to promote, hinder you from growing in, nor to verbally slander or to turn you away from ANY one of the these mentioned subjects. This has been created to open up these conversations, and ask questions if you’re feeling stuck in life,  or worse: feeling like you have no one to go to.

This podcast will exist to open up discussions from people that come form all walks and talks in life.  I will do my best to represent what my beliefs tell me to (actually) do- which is to love and be open to everyone, reject the suits and hang with the tattooed, the pierced, the broken and the needy. I will attempt to keep the language as clean as can be, and to not offend, as I hope parents will allow younger listeners to tune in. I will do my best edit out anything foul, and to provide the warning ahead of the episodes if it seems to be needed. These will be real stories and conversations with people I have had the privilege to meet in this crazy life I continue to live in. Friendships throughout life, and family; all who have witnessed me grow or anyone I&#39;ve had the privilege to be apart of their journey.

“Have you had a fall out with your family due to loosing your faith?
Have you been kicked out of your family or lost friends for coming out?
Do you need a support system, or someone to fill in that area in life where a friend or family member is needed? You’re not alone. I welcome you onto this ride that I, and my wide variety of friends, family, and counselors will take, to talk about dealing with all of these subjects. Seeking out healing, knowledge and understanding to march on and better our lives. 

My name is Alfredo Carranza, and “This is where I’m at”.
