    Why Favor Meets Opposition

    In this episode, Gene Santiago dives into the powerful reality of spiritual favor and the often, overlooked challenges that come with walking in obedience to God. He unpacks how favor is not just about blessing and breakthrough, but also about facing resistance that tests your faith and commitment.

Yet, their stories remind us that perseverance, trust in God, and unwavering faith are what carry you through seasons of pressure. If you’ve ever felt like life got harder the moment you decided to follow God more seriously, this conversation will encourage you to stay the course. The resistance you feel may not be a sign to quit, but confirmation that you are walking in purpose. ________________________________________________ 🛍️ SHOP OUR NEW DEVOTIONAL (EBOOK): https://www.modernragsministry.com/devotionals 📱Subscribe to the Modern Rags podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gene_santiago1 📱Follow and Connect with Gene on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gene_santiago1/ 🕊️ Want To Donate To Our Modern Rags Ministry?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/giving-page-1-1 🛍️ Want To Shop Modern Rags Apparel?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/apparel

    Dont Just Chase After Wind

    In this episode Kaitlyn & Gene Santiago unpack the deep, sobering truth found in Scripture about wisdom, purpose, and the limits of life lived “under the sun.” He challenges us to confront the reality that success, possessions, status, and even human wisdom, when pursued apart from God ultimately leaves us empty. True wisdom, as he explains, is not just knowledge or insight, it’s a life rooted in reverence for God. It’s understanding that everything temporary fades, but what is done for God carries eternal weight. When we shift our focus from earthly gain to eternal purpose, everything changes. Our priorities align, our decisions sharpen, and our lives begin to reflect something greater than ourselves. Kaitlyn & Gene than remind us that fulfillment isn’t found in chasing more but that it’s found in surrender. In fearing God, obeying His Word, and walking in relationship with Him, we step into the life we were actually created for. And at the center of it all is Jesus Christ, the only One who offers true meaning, lasting peace, and eternal life. If you’ve been striving, searching, or feeling like something is still missing… this message is a call to lift your eyes higher. What you’re looking for isn’t found here, it’s found in Him. ______________________________________________ 🛍️ SHOP OUR NEW DEVOTIONAL (EBOOK): https://www.modernragsministry.com/devotionals 📱Subscribe to the Modern Rags podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gene_santiago1 📱Follow and Connect with Gene on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gene_santiago1/ 🕊️ Want To Donate To Our Modern Rags Ministry?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/giving-page-1-1 🛍️ Want To Shop Modern Rags Apparel?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/apparel
