On this episode of Thrive, I sit down with my friend Matt, the owner of MVP Miami, and we talk about leadership, faith, and what it looks like to build your life on something that actually lasts.

We get into his journey through business and the challenges that come with growth, pressure, and responsibility, but the heart of this conversation is the shift that happens when God becomes the center of how you live and lead.

Matt shares how his life began to change when his faith became real to him, and how that started to impact his decisions, his mindset, and the way he approaches both business and family.

We talk about trusting God in uncertainty, leading with conviction, and having the discipline to walk away from things that do not align with your values. This is a conversation about purpose, clarity, and staying grounded when leadership gets heavy.

If you are building something or navigating a season that is stretching you, I think this episode will encourage you to keep your focus where it matters most.

In this episode of Thrive, I talk about what it really means to walk by faith and why it is one of the most important principles for leaders who want to thrive instead of simply survive. Leadership often comes with pressure, responsibility, and uncertainty, but faith changes how we approach all of it. When I learn to work diligently, trust deeply, and rest fully in God, leadership begins to look very different.

I also reflect on lessons I have learned during my years leading Calvary Church and the journey of letting go of the need to control outcomes. Faith is not about doing nothing. It is about doing your part while trusting God with what only He can do. I share how Scripture challenges leaders to shift their focus, trust God for provision, and lead with a peace that does not depend on circumstances.

Throughout this episode, I walk through five practical ways faith shapes leadership, from fixing your focus to building calm strength and confidence that is rooted in God rather than in yourself. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to trust God more deeply in whatever you are leading, whether that is your family, your team, or the calling God has placed on your life.

In this episode of Thrive, I had the privilege of sitting down with my wife to reflect on the journey God has taken us on over the past ten years in leadership at Calvary Church.

We talk about this season of life as we prepare to welcome our second daughter, and how this pregnancy has brought new challenges, lessons, and perspective. It led to an honest conversation about slowing down, learning to delegate, and trusting the people God has placed around us.

We also dive into what it means to stay steadfast in leadership and in life. From handling wins and losses to guarding your heart from bitterness, we share some of the lessons we have learned along the way.

My prayer is that this episode encourages you to stay anchored in your faith, trust God through every season, and keep moving forward knowing that He is for you.

I am grateful to welcome you into Season Four of Thrive as we continue diving into life, leadership, and lifestyles together. In this episode, I unpack a truth that can shift everything: work is a blessing. Culture often teaches us to see work as a burden, but Scripture tells a different story. In Genesis 1 and 2, we see that responsibility was given to humanity before sin ever entered the picture. Work was part of God’s original design.

I talk about how embracing responsibility brings fulfillment, strengthens discipline, builds character, and creates opportunities for growth. More than that, when we work with excellence and integrity, even the most ordinary tasks can become an act of worship.

No matter what season you are in, this episode will challenge you to stop viewing work as your enemy and start seeing it as one of God’s tools to help you thrive.

On this week’s episode of Thrive, I sit down with my wife, Diana Sagot, to talk about the spiritual world and the prophetic. It’s a conversation that explores what the Bible reveals about the unseen realm, how the prophetic operates today, and why it’s so important to approach these topics with biblical understanding and a heart led by the Holy Spirit.

We talk about the balance between being spiritually sensitive and grounded in truth, the importance of discernment, and what it looks like to walk in spiritual authority while staying aligned with God's Word. We also reflect on how these topics impact our everyday lives and faith journey.

My hope is that this episode encourages you to lean into the gifts God has placed in your life, and reminds you that you can be spiritually aware and still live with joy, kindness, and balance.

This week on Thrive, I’m joined again by my friends Arnaldo Delgado and John Lefebvre for the second part of our conversation about mental health, anxiety, and leadership. We explore the challenges that come with managing anxiety while leading and how to keep trusting God even when things feel uncertain.

We talk about the struggle between wanting to know and control the future versus living by faith, and the importance of having the right mindset to overcome fear and worry. We also discuss how leaders can be vulnerable in healthy ways without losing their strength or focus.

We share practical tips for shifting negative thoughts, the power of surrounding yourself with supportive people, and how discipline and community play key roles in mental and emotional healing.

This episode reminds us that it’s okay to face struggles and that with faith and intentional steps, healing and growth are possible. I hope this conversation brings you encouragement and practical insight for your own journey.

In this episode of Thrive, I dive into a leadership lesson drawn from the story of Naaman in 2 Kings chapter 5. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the breakthrough we’re looking for is just on the other side of humility and obedience.

We explore what it looks like to lead with a heart that’s willing to listen, grow, and respond to God’s direction, even when it doesn’t come in the way we expect. I talk about how pride can keep us stuck, how humility opens the door to healing, and how obedience leads to transformation.

Whether you're in ministry, business, parenting, or simply navigating your personal journey, this message is for anyone who wants to keep becoming the person God has called them to be.

Hey everyone! In this week’s episode of Thrive, I’m sharing some of the leadership principles that have shaped the culture at Calvary Church—practices that help create an environment where people feel valued, empowered, and connected.

I break down seven key things we focus on as a team: defining culture, leading by example, removing what doesn’t belong, calling out the gold in others, training disciples, releasing people into leadership, and staying connected. These principles are simple but powerful, and they apply to any setting—whether it’s your workplace, church, or home.

We also talk about the beauty of creating spaces filled with joy, peace, and purpose. I hope this conversation inspires you to be intentional about the culture you're building and encourages you as you lead in whatever space God has placed you.

In this week’s episode of Thrive, I sit down with my friend John for a real and honest conversation about life, faith, and fatherhood. We talk about what it was like finding out we were going to be dads, how that changed our perspective on God’s love, and what we’ve learned about trusting Him through every season.

We also answer some powerful questions from the community — things like how to handle unanswered prayers, what to do when you feel far from God, and how to move forward when you feel unqualified or insecure. We touch on the story of the prodigal son, explore why apologetics matters, and share how even our lowest moments can lead us closer to God.

If you’re in a season of waiting, searching for direction, or simply looking for encouragement, I think this episode will speak to you. Thanks for watching and being part of the Thrive community.
