Garage Nights

In this episode, I am joined by Misael Sanchez & Pr. Larry Swartz, as we dive into the extraordinary life of Abraham, a man whose radical obedience transformed history and earned him the legacy of ultimate faith. Abraham’s journey was anything but comfortable, what can we take away from his life and apply it to our own journeys today?

We are launching season 2 with a look at Adam - The first man and the beginning of the human story. I am joined by Jeff Giammalvo and Pr. Wandson Santana. Together we unpack different areas in Adam's life; from naming animals, to showing the human tendency to blame others, and the role that we play in God fulfilling His will in the lives of our wives.

This episode is a conversation about responsibility, leadership, failure, grace, and what it means to be a God fearing man.

We continue with the conversation about life in the U.S. from an immigrant's perspective. We take a look at Matthew 25, and God's calling for us to look out for one another.
I brought in a special guest to wrap up this conversation, and talk a little bit about American Christianity. How the abundance we have around us can become a hindrance in our spiritual journey.

“The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources—because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.” — President Lyndon B. Johnson

I sat down with three of my immigrant friends to talk about our journeys to the "Land of Opportunity." Joining me on this episode are:

• Freddy Santes: Born in Guatemala, Freddy is currently the Vice President of a painting and wallcovering company. In ministry, he serves as an audio engineer and youth leader at NLSC.

• Fernando Amaral: Born in Portugal, Fernando is currently the manager of Custodial Services for NBPS. In ministry, he serves as the Head of the Operations Department and a crew leader at NLSC.

• Sam Ajetomobi: Born in Nigeria, Sam is currently a Community Health Worker for Southcoast Health. In ministry, he serves as a leader in the Media/Audio Department, a member of the worship team, and a crew leader at NLSC.

These three men have certainly contributed to the nourishing of this great nation, and they continue to do so with character and dignity.

God has graciously and generously blessed us all with amazing gifts. How are you using your gifts?

Join me in this conversation with Sebastian, the author, and Just Stevie, the musician. They have both just recently dropped a new project, and we talked about their process and what it means for them to be living in their calling.

We’re diving into the beautiful, messy reality of life... the "highs" that make us feel invincible and the "lows" that make us question everything.

Pr. Elijah Griner and Pr D'Andre Thomas joined me in this episode to explore how to find gratitude when things are good, how to keep your footing when the ground starts to shift, and how to enjoy everyday life in between the highs and lows.

Have you ever broken the law before?

Many of us have, and at the end of the day whether you have or not, we all rely on God's love and His Amazing Grace. In this episode, Earl Miranda and Stephen Feist joined me in the garage to talk about their redemption story. We talked about the influence they received from their fathers, the need for belonging, the consequences of a life of crime, and ultimately, God's grace which changed their lives!

This episode was recorded with a live audience, at New Life South Coast. We had a powerful conversation about dealing with life's struggles, mental health, counseling, and getting punched in the face! I was joined by Eddie Harrison, Pr. Wandson Santana, and Matt Brum, who got real and transparent about how they navigated through their struggles and the tools and strategies they have picked up though the process.

There is a surprise somewhere in the middle of this episode, so make sure you stick around until the end!

We welcome everyone (women included) to tune in for this conversation. I sat down my good friends Jeff Giammalvo and Randy Carreras, to talk about their battle and freedom from addiction. This conversation is for those who are currently struggling with the bondage of addiction and for the friends and family of those going through it. Here is one thing I know for sure, all things are possible through Christ!

Soul Care is essential! It addresses the inner essence or core of every living being. In today's episode, I invited Skip Hall and John Duarte, two men who are very involved with "soul care" work, through Marked Men For Christ. Skip and John share about their personal journey, and how much healing and growth they have experienced, as they submit to God's will and invest in caring for their soul.
