In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, Bryan Mowrey is joined by special guests Willy and Sofi Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico, one of the catalytic churches in the Confluence family. They begin with an honest update on the current situation in Guadalajara and the realities of ministering in a region affected by cartel activity, sharing how the gospel continues to move forward even in challenging circumstances.

The conversation then turns to technology. As leaders who have built a large online following while reaching people far beyond their city, Willy and Sofi talk about how they’ve learned to use digital tools intentionally without allowing them to dominate their lives, especially as we enter a season of digital fasting as a church.

Bryan also explores how they cultivate a healthy culture in their home. Willy and Sofi share practical insight into building a strong marriage, raising children with purpose, and shaping a family culture centered on Jesus while leading a growing church.

They close by reflecting on what excites them most about the future of the Confluence family of churches and where they see God leading us in the years ahead, especially the growing opportunity to reach and develop Spanish-speaking leaders and churches throughout the world.

It’s a conversation full of wisdom, faith, and vision for what God is doing across nations.

After discussing the exciting week ahead at Confluence Leadership Conference and reflecting on ministry partnerships in Mexico, the conversation turns toward something deeper: the kind of wisdom our generation desperately needs. We live in a moment where access to information is endless, yet biblical wisdom often feels scarce.

What does it actually mean when Proverbs tells us to “get wisdom”? How do we pursue it? We talk through the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the role surrender plays in shaping mature disciples, and why submission isn’t weakness but participation in the life of God and His church. From Scripture to social media, we explore how our sources of influence form us and how reordering them may be one of the most important spiritual decisions we make.
