January 12, 2022 The Year Of Jubilee
Johannes Hoekendijk said, "Jubilee is exodus spelled out in terms of social salvation..." (https://www.bu.edu/missiology/missionary-biography/g-h/hoekendijk-johannes-christiaan-1912-1975/) The Bible is clear about what God says. It is clear about what He expects from those who love Him. Although the Bible can be difficult to comprehend, for many reasons, we have endless opportunities to discuss, research, dissect, argue, and question for the purpose of further understanding God's word. Scripture is written for us. God had much to say. Let's dig in together.

December 30, 2021 Sin
What is sin? Little is mentioned in Christian circles concerning the issue of sin and our sin condition. I believe leaders have tried to make members feel good about themselves without digging into the real issue of sin. No one wants to admit their faults. That takes courage. It also takes courage on the part of the listener. Are you ready to hear that your pastor or bible teacher has sinned? We live in cancel culture and many leaders who have confessed, either voluntarily or due to being caught, have been hiding or cast out of their home churches for their sinful behavior. Are we hypocrites? Absolutely. The very people making the choice to cast out leaders are themselves struggling with much but do not share it openly. We only get to see what has been buffed and cleaned up on the outside. Each of us struggles with sin and it's time to admit it.
Being open and honest about our struggles with sin is long overdue for us leaders. We need to be the Church and "confess our sins to one another" and "pray for each other." (James 5:16) It takes courage and we need to be diligent in assessing and examining our hearts before our communities of faith. No longer should people follow leaders who profess sinlessness and self-righteousness. Being "in Christ" does not mean we are Christ. We strive to imitate our Savior but fall short every time. (Romans 3:23) May we never believe that we can stop "working out our salvation with fear and trembling." (Philippians 2:12)
Today's episode tackles the issue of sin and our sin nature. How is it that a perfect, sinless God continues to pursue sinful, broken people? Why do we choose sin over God in an uncontrollable way? Let's chat about that. *As always, send your feedback on today's episode by commenting on the podcast page or sending an email to [email protected]. Thank you.

Lissette Fuentes
Singer/Songwriter, preacher, leader, teacher, wife, mother, sister, friend. She seems to be able to do it all with ease...but, in the midst of life's circumstances, she finds herself debilitated by a rare condition that threatens to paralyze her body and diminish her faith.
All along, God is leading her to a spiritual transformation and an unexpected breakthrough! Listen to her story of resilience, faith, and hope from a place of agonizing physical pain and utter despair. This conversation rocked me to the core!

August 26, 2021 Episode 1 - Where it all started
In this episode, I share some stories about my mother. She is the most influential person in my life and the reason why I have been able to accomplish what I have.
My mother was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the lung, stage four, on October 12th, 2012. I learned so much in the fifteen months that followed. I learned about the resilient woman who raised 5 kids while dealing with many ailments throughout her life, including seizure disorder, nervous system breakdown, high blood pressure, and more. She was incredibly strong. I did not know how strong she actually was until she went through radiation then the long months of chemo treatment. Both my sisters and my Aunt showed such strength in the face of the most devastating situations. I realized that these were my examples of faith, hope, courage, and love. They are my matriarchs. And although, I am stricken with the pain of great loss, I am filled with great joy knowing my mother ran her race and finished well. This episode is in honor of her.
I also dedicate this story to my sisters Nory and Melissa, and my aunt, Mayra. You are my examples. I thank God for who you are and I look forward to all that we will share together in the years to come...

August 25, 2021 Episode 3 - The Story of Shane & Iris - Part II
(If you haven't listened to it yet, check out the first part of the episode -- You don't want to miss important parts of the story.)
This episode is jammed packed with details about the beginning of our story as a couple. You might be wondering...What was on that list? Think about it this way: it can be anything you can think of or relate to or perhaps things you have never shared with anyone. Whatever it is, the message is the same: forgiveness is available, no matter what is on your list. God does not keep a record of wrongdoing. He wants to show you just how much He loves and cares for you, too. Lay it all down today.
Thank you for listening!
