In this episode of Thrive, I sit down with my good friend Pastor Ulysses Diaz to talk about what it looks like when God calls you back—no matter how far you’ve gone.

We dive into his powerful testimony, from growing up in a faith-filled home to walking through years of rebellion, addiction, and distance from God. Pastor Ulysses shares honestly about the struggles he faced, the choices he made, and the moment he heard God's voice calling him back to a life of purpose and truth.

We also talk about parenting with conviction, why discipline and love go hand in hand, and how to raise kids who know and serve the Lord. He shares a deeply moving story about his daughter’s miraculous healing during pregnancy and how trusting God through trials has shaped his family’s faith.

Whether you’re walking closely with God or feel like you’ve wandered far, this episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to come home—and that God is always ready to receive you with open arms.
