Light It Up Podcast

This week on Light It Up, we hear Joshua Santiago's story. Growing up in a broken home constantly fighting, Joshua grew to hate rather than love. His bitterness and rage stemmed to rebellion and resentment. As you could probably guess, his life was miserable. Turning to drugs, alcohol, and women, he found himself trying to find the real love that he had never experienced.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” - Matthew 5:14-16

This week on Light It Up, we have the privilege to hear Ps. Ray Rubi's story. Before he became a leader in our fellowship pastoring a grand work in Las Vegas, Nevada for 26 years, he was an extreme druggie that had no hope in life. Growing up in a Catholic home, he knew the rules of church for his whole childhood. However, it wasn't too long before he became a teenager and started messing with the wrong crowd.

This week on Light It Up, we hear from Ps. Gabe Rubi, who brings up the "longest/shortest" season of people's lives. He defines this season as the time from when one is 12 years old all the way to 22 years old. He describes that this season is the most important season of your life; the choices that you make in this season shape and mold you into who you're going to be in the future. In this episode, he elaborates on how to make the most of these years, and how to do it with a Godly mindset.

This week on Light It Up we hear Edgar's story. Exposed to religion and Christianity at a young age, he grew up living life and believing he was right with God no matter what he did. In the midst of partying, fornicating, and getting involved in drugs and alcohol, he never processed the fact that his sin was taking him to hell.

This week, we being our discussion with Evangelist Mike Gomez. He experienced firsthand the destructive combo of the party lifestyle, drugs, alcohol and a life without a father; the result was a very broken soul. He explains the struggles and battles he faced throughout this time in his life, and he tells of how he was powerfully set free and changed by the grace of God.
