What does it mean to serve the Church with faithfulness and joy?

In Episode 8 of the Servant and Light Podcast, we sit down with Bro. Leon Asuncion: a catechist, educator, and servant of the Church who shares how Couples for Christ became a space where his vocation was strengthened, his joy renewed, and his love for teaching the faith deepened.

Through community life, prayer, and mission, Bro. Leon discovered that catechesis is not only about teaching truths. It is about living them, and walking with others as Christ Himself walks with us.

In a workplace where cultures, beliefs, and worldviews converge every say, Elmer and Ime Pagdilao discovered a powerful truth: that faith is often shared not through preaching, but through gratitude.

Through the quiet witness of giving glory to God in every blessing, every breakthrough, and every moment of grace, they learned that when we speak with sincerity and acknowledge what the Lord had done for us, people listen. Light is shared. And hearts begin to open to who Jesus truly is.

Truly, God is always present and always working, even in the most ordinary moments of their mission abroad. ✈️

"When everyone looks up to you for strength, where do you turn for your own? 🪖

For former Vice Admiral Jesus Millan, a life in the armed forces shaped him with discipline, courage, and unwavering resolve. But it was in the quiet moments between missions, near-death encounters, and impossible decisions where he learned to look beyond himself—and towards Christ.

Now in retirement, Bro. Jess continues to put his faith into action, inspiring young military officers to recognize God’s hand in every battlefield they face.

“When you become who God meant you to be, you will set the world on fire.” 🔥

That was how Shayne Funcion of Hello Shayne found meaning amidst the many seasons of her life. Her journey—from studying to become a nurse abroad, to serving for more than a decade as a pastoral worker, to now exploring the world as a content creator—shows that God’s plans are always fulfilling, especially when we trust his timing and purpose.

In this episode, Shayne shares how the values that her time as a CFC missionary nurtured in her not only served as foundation of her character, but also helped her discover and foster her passion in communication and social media. That despite the fears and uncertainties of surrendering our careers to God, one thing will always be constant: God’s presence, providence, and guidance when we seek His will and pursue His calling for us.

Join us as we talk about creativity, integrity, and courage as Christians in the digital world.
