WOW what a conversation with my best friend Armani's father. We hear Paco Alicea's powerful story that includes military, faith, family, and a plethora of trials and tribulations. We talk about the passing of his beloved son Armani and we unpack the life, lessons, and love he showed many people. We talk about the younger generation and how they can know God more. Paco shares so much of his heart on this episode. A true spiritual leader and a man we can all look up too. Thank you Paco for taking the time to come on the show and share your story and more importantly share your heart. I encourage everyone to listen to this episode.

The night I wrote and recorded this, I had this huge urge to pray. I share with you guys how trash I am at praying, yet I understand the importance of it. We go deep on the subject of suicide and mental illness and how knowing Jesus helps us overcome that scorpion sting. We explain what praying means for you and how it connects you with God more than you realize because you are humbling yourself before, during, and after. I announce a special special guest on episode 50. 

You're not gonna want to miss this episode. 

Also i read you the prayer of Jesus to God in John 17 and man it is beautiful to read and hear.

AK-47 of truth type of EPISODE! This episode is not for the easily offended. We now know how much lies, deception, and smoke screens comes from the world around us. We are in the gospel Mark and Jesus goes in on the Pharisees and calls them hypocrites! AND I LOVE IT

We discuss living your truth and not conforming and bending to society's 'man made' culture & commands. We go a little off the rales with jokes and facts... Please don't cancel me... I'm uncancelable though, i'll always speak truth. I encourage you guys to do the same!

I share my truth and it may make you enraged or may encourage you to  live your truth. Knowing Jesus helps you be bold in your truth that's why the episode is named There's Truth in Jesus

I reflect on my first sermon ever given, I share with you guys what i'm learning in bible school (SO DEEP), Doing life for Jesus every week, we talk sin, Salvation, GRACE, eternity, the return of Christ, the Holy Spirit and oh yeah... We also discuss the election and the light of Jesus in this dark time. We are in the gospel of Mark and we go over some parables. Oh yeah and we share a little bit too much on who we aren't voting for. Also I spill the beans on being unapologetically pro life.. There's Truth in Jesus

We go home to Tampa for Armanis Funeral. Life’s Short and what it means. I share the God moments had on this trip and my need for God and specifically this show to always be prevalent in my life.

My heart is opened and these episodes lately have felt like scenes of a movie into my life and the show has grown into advanced journal entries. We talk the benefits of having a journal, alone time, and spiritual leadership

We also talk about how to be saved? Is it a 3 step process? 

Jesus and the expansion of the word Grace

On this episode we share the fruit we are already seeing from Armanis life, death, and spirit which is bringing people to know who God is! 

Armani was a Bridge to Revival & I just want to be a Bridge to God's Word

Incredible 50 minutes of passion.  I spent a lot time on this one for you guys! This show is funny, honest, vulnerable, challenging, and inspiring. You will learn what a eunuch is! How cool is that?  Please Listen, Subscribe, & Share

Ps: Levi is Matthew before Jesus renamed him Matthew. 

Quote From the Show: "You think your life is too broken to follow Jesus? You get ridiculed by your family for wanting to know about God? You get made fun of by your old friends for following Jesus so openly? Do you want to know why things are the way they are? Then you my friend need to.. need to find out everything you can about the son of man. Because the son of God is what lets you understand the heart of God. To fully know God’s will we must fully know God’s word."

It’s happening. God’s plan is unraveling before my eyes. Gods will is as real as ever. The spirit of God is moving is a way I’ve never experienced before. The confidence, faith, and proof of the Lord is shining more than ever right now. I should be on the ground crying but I’m not. I should be in my wife’s arms all day not able to go to work. I should be in a deep depression. God is revealing Himself to myself and so many others...

This Episode is a MUST Listen, even if you didn't know my brother Armani... Even if you don't really know God. 

I answer my moms hard questions about Armanis passing.

God spoke through a gentlemen I hardly know in the middle of writing this.

So much is revealed in this episode. It's bigger than a podcast. Rest in Paradise My Friend, I know where you are, and who you are with. Thank you for the peace, love, and understanding.

I share with you guys the week I've had since hearing about Armanis accident. We talk updates on him, we talk about how Armani is leading people to God, we talk Jesus, Life, Miracles, Faith, Prayer, Memories, Eternal life, Peace, Love, Support, Prophecy, Healing and so much more on this episode. I truly hope you enjoy it and turn to God when your heart is hurting. 

Quote from the show:

"My heart hurts every day. Physical pain exist behind my chest. I miss being just happy with Jesus every day. I’ve felt so desperate and confused this week and I’m praying I can get some clarity and can re focus my days on the lord. I’m trying my best guys and I appreciate all the love and messages I received from so many people. It’s been overwhelmingly beautiful and I’ve felt the love from so many. I love talking about my friend Armani. I am speaking life back into his body and I encourage you to do the same."
