Today’s episode uncovers the depths of a message of HOPE & our call at baptism as disciples . As we go through life we are called to have hope and to share it while we lean on our faith. Amidst the hardship and challenges the Lord continues to call us by name and to do things with our lives that we once may never have thought possible.

From depressed and not knowing how to live on during my high school years to finding myself in the trash pile in Mexico City— to sitting in the inner chamber at the Vatican to lead a global mission and conversing with Pope Francis —life has taught me that God’s love wins.

Each of us has purpose and value. Most of time we just need to show up. Here I share the amazing ways God has opened up new pastures to help cultivate an initiative called Hope from the Margins. For many years I was searching for ways to serve the disenfranchised, poor, disabled, and outcasts of society. Now I recognize that the person I once was and the struggles we go through as people often equips us to understand, relate to and walk with our brothers and sisters. But what is even more however is how God revealed his great love when I encounter Christ in the poor and experienced him profoundly in the dumps of Mexico City.

The margins is where Christ spent his time so now it’s no surprise that great faith, grace and blessings have been brought to me there as well. In this episode I share my personal journey and how God’s transformative power works on our hearts as he calls us to live in harmony together. It is not a matter of them and us but just us—As the Lord himself reveals in his birth in a stable as a baby named Emmanuel meaning, “God with us.”

In this episode, we dive into the mind of champion, inspired by the relentless drive of 5x World Champion Super Star Kobe Bryant. We aim to take a page out of his book of greatness by looking at the tenacity and discipline that elevated him to legendary status. To chase true greatness means to take on a journey where you confront your limits, push through barriers, and commit to being better every day. Today I break down the 10 rules of achieving unparalleled success in life, athletics, and business.

In this episode, we delve into the essential qualities that define successful leadership, focusing on how initiative and accountability can drive personal and organizational success.

We’ll explore the **Five Elements of Successful Leadership** that every thriving organization embodies:

1. **Principle Formation** – The foundation of success, built on core values and guiding principles that shape decisions and behaviors.

2. **Motivational Positions** – The goals that provide direction and purpose, motivating individuals and teams to strive for excellence.

3. **Tactics** – The actionable steps and strategies necessary to turn goals into reality.

4. **ACTION** – The most crucial element, where all planning meets execution. Without action, even the best-laid plans remain dreams. We’ll emphasize the importance of initiative, urging leaders to be doers, not just planners.

5. **Debrief** – Reflection and evaluation are key to growth. We'll discuss how to effectively review actions, learn from outcomes, and make adjustments to continue progressing.

Join us as we break down these elements, share impactful words from great leaders like David Goggins, and offer insights on how leaders cultivate an environment where accountability and initiative lead to sustained success. Whether you’re leading a team or striving to be a better leader yourself, this episode provides the blueprint for making impactful decisions and achieving long-term goals.

Finding God in the Dark: Choosing Faith Amidst Life’s MessinessLife can often feel overwhelming, messy, and dark. In those moments, it’s easy to feel distant from God, unsure of where to turn, and tempted to fall back into old patterns that feel more comfortable. But even in the darkness, God is calling us to choose faith, to trust in His promises, and to find our way back to Him.  In this episode, we’ll dive into John chapter 6, where we see the disciples grappling with their faith. After hearing Jesus’ challenging teachings, many of His followers decide to return to their former way of life. They couldn’t see the path forward and chose to walk away. Yet, when Jesus turns to the Twelve and asks, “Do you also want to leave?” Peter responds with a powerful declaration: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”  Peter’s words remind us that even when we don’t have all the answers, even when we’re upset, confused, or distant from God, there is nowhere else we can turn for the hope we desperately need. Jesus offers us the promise of eternal life, and it’s in choosing to have faith—especially in the messiness of life—that we find our way back to Him.  Join us as we explore what it means to find God in the dark, to choose faith even when it’s hard, and to hold onto the hope that Jesus offers. We’ll discuss how, like Peter, we can recognize that even when the road ahead is uncertain, Jesus is the one who gives us life, purpose, and the strength to carry on.  Whether you’re struggling with doubt, feeling distant from God, or simply seeking to strengthen your faith, this episode is for you. Let’s journey together, finding light in the darkness and trusting in the promise of eternal life that we have in Jesus Christ. This episode invites listeners into a thoughtful and encouraging exploration of faith in difficult times, grounded in the powerful narrative of John chapter 6. It offers hope and reassurance, reminding us that even when we don’t have all the answers, choosing faith in Jesus leads to the everlasting life He promises.
