Malo E lelei fams! It's been a minute since we've released a podcast episode.  It's our honour to have Mr. Joe Pomelile sit down with the brother Richy Misilei in today's talanoa. Joe talks about his growing up in Tonga and having to move to NZ around the start of his teenage years, adjusting to a new culture, but how this all led up to his faith in Christ. That same faith carried him through to represent Tonga in weightlifting at this year's Commonwealth Games. And in that frame, Joe gives some advice to budding athletes.  ALL our Pods, Talanoa, short Bible studies are available on Spotify, YouTube, Insta & the other normal platforms WE'RE always at risk of being cancelled or de-platformed on social media...so please engage on www.freshtruthministries.com OR [email protected]   (This episode was recorded during the height of the Rugby League World Cup 2022, which explains why there are references to that massive event (which spurred every Samoan to pull out his/her fu'a, previously used to cover the mirrors at night 😂😜) #freshtruthpodcast #budgetbutblessed
