    Finding God in a world that never stops: Ep:8 Choose Peace Over Being Right

    🎙️ Slow Down – Episode 8 Choose Peace Over Being Right Is winning an argument worth losing your peace? In Episode 8 of Slow Down: Finding God in a World That Never Stops, Angel Santana explores one of the greatest challenges Christians face today: choosing humility and peace in a world that constantly encourages us to prove we're right. Drawing from Romans 12:18 (NIV) and Philippians 2:3–4 (NIV), this episode reminds us that God's desire isn't for us to win every debate, but to reflect the character of Christ in every conversation. Through the example of Jesus—who responded with grace, humility, and unwavering faith even in the face of false accusations—we discover that true strength is found in peace, not pride. Through today's Biblical Perspective, Heart Check, and Faith Challenge, you'll be encouraged to examine your relationships, let go of unnecessary conflict, and become a peacemaker who reflects the love of Jesus. Today's Takeaway: "Winning an argument is temporary. Living in God's peace is eternal." 📣 Help Us Share the Message If today's episode encouraged you, would you consider helping us continue this ministry?

    Finding God in a world that never stops: Ep 7: The Lost Art of Listening

    🎙️ Slow Down – Episode 7 The Lost Art of Listening In a world where everyone has something to say, have we forgotten how to truly listen? In Episode 7 of Slow Down: Finding God in a World That Never Stops, Angel Santana explores one of the greatest gifts we can offer another person—our full attention. Through the wisdom of James 1:19 (NIV) and the example of young Samuel's willingness to hear God's voice (1 Samuel 3:10 NIV), this episode reminds us that listening is more than hearing words—it's an act of love, humility, and compassion. Jesus consistently made people feel seen and heard. Before He responded, He listened. Before He taught, He understood. His example challenges us to slow down, set aside distractions, and become people who hear not only the words others speak, but the hearts behind them. Through today's Biblical Perspective, Heart Check, and Faith Challenge, you'll discover how intentional listening can strengthen relationships, deepen your walk with God, and become a powerful reflection of Christ's love. Today's Takeaway: "People may forget your advice, but they'll remember how deeply you listened." 📣 Help Us Share the Message If today's episode encouraged you, would you consider helping us continue this ministry?

    Finding God in a world that never stops: Ep 6 People Are Not Interruptions

    🎙️ Slow Down – Episode 6 People Are Not Interruptions What if the interruptions in your day aren't distractions at all—but divine appointments from God? In Episode 6 of Slow Down: Finding God in a World That Never Stops, Angel Santana challenges us to see people the way Jesus did—not as inconveniences, but as opportunities to love, serve, and reflect God's grace. Drawing from the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30–37 NIV) and Jesus' compassionate response to Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52 NIV), this episode reminds us that some of life's most meaningful moments happen when we're willing to pause our plans and be present for someone else. Through today's Biblical Perspective, Heart Check, and Faith Challenge, you'll be encouraged to slow down, pay attention, and discover that what feels like an interruption may actually be God's invitation to make an eternal difference in someone's life. Today's Takeaway: "The interruptions in your day may be the appointments God has already placed on His calendar." 📣 Help Us Share the Message If today's episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to support Have Faith Let It Begin® by subscribing, downloading the episode, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone you love?

    Finding God in a world that never stops: The Ministry of Simply Showing Up Ep 4

    🎙️ Slow Down – Episode 4 The Ministry of Simply Showing Up Sometimes the greatest act of love isn't finding the perfect words—it's simply being present. In Episode 4 of Slow Down: Finding God in a World That Never Stops, Angel Santana reminds us that one of the most powerful ministries we can have is the ministry of presence. Drawing from Romans 12:15 (NIV), the compassion of Jesus in John 11, and the quiet support Job's friends first offered in Job 2:11-13 (NIV), this episode explores how God often works through ordinary moments of simply showing up for one another. Whether it's sitting beside someone who is grieving, making a phone call to a friend who's struggling, or offering a listening ear without trying to fix everything, your presence can become a tangible reminder of God's love. Through today's Biblical Perspective, Heart Check, and Faith Challenge, you'll discover that you don't need all the answers to make a difference—you simply need a willing heart. Today's Takeaway: "People may forget your words, but they'll rarely forget that you showed up." 📣 Special Invitation: If you're in the Hudson Valley, you're warmly invited to join Angel Santana on Sunday, August 9, at First Reformed Church in Walden, New York, as he shares the message "Finding Peace in a World That Never Stops." Together, we'll discover how slowing down allows us to experience God's peace and become more present with Him and with one another. 🎙️ Have Faith Let It Begin® A Federally Registered Trademark Real People.

    Finding God in the world that never stops: Ep 3 Stop Rushing What God is Growing

    🎙️ Slow Down – Episode 3 Stop Rushing What God Is Growing Have you ever wondered why God seems to be taking so long to answer your prayers? In Episode 3 of Slow Down: Finding God in a World That Never Stops, Angel Santana explores the beauty of God's perfect timing and reminds us that some of life's greatest blessings cannot be rushed. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) and James 5:7-8 (NIV), this episode reveals how seasons of waiting are often seasons of growth. Just as a farmer patiently waits for the harvest, God is developing our faith, character, and trust long before we see the fruit of His work. Through today's Biblical Perspective, Heart Check, and Faith Challenge, you'll be encouraged to stop focusing on God's timetable and begin trusting His purpose. If you're in a season of waiting, don't lose hope. God is still working—even when you can't yet see what He's growing. Today's Takeaway: "God grows His greatest blessings in seasons of faithful waiting." 📣 Special Invitation: If you're in the Hudson Valley, you're warmly invited to join Angel Santana on Sunday, August 9, at First Reformed Church in Walden, New York, as he shares the message "Finding Peace in a World That Never Stops."
