    In this episode, my wife and I reflect on what it’s been like raising our son, now 18, and the journey that brought us here. We talk about the importance of securing his identity as my son, even as a stepfather, and the deeper meaning of family beyond biology. We also explore the contrast between what the world teaches about raising boys and what the Bible says about guiding them into manhood.

We’re sitting down to talk about the reality of "leveling" relationships: why new friends challenge us differently, how to honor where you came from without staying stuck, and why evolving roles are a healthy part of life.Key Takeaway: Different doesn't mean better, and old doesn't mean bad.

    EPS 14: Letting Go To Receive

    In this episode, I’m joined by my wife, Elina Gudino, to share the deeply personal story of our cross-country move from Sacramento, California, to South Carolina. Leaving behind everything we knew wasn't easy, but it was a journey rooted in faith. We discuss the moment we decided to trust God and let go of our comfortable lives in CA, fueled by a hope for a better day-to-day quality of life for our children. A major driver for this transition was my health journey with Transverse Myelitis. We talk openly about the physical and emotional challenges that led us to seek a new environment where our family could truly thrive. Looking back, what we’ve received here in South Carolina has exceeded our expectations in every way. From the community to the peace we’ve found, we truly believe this move was a gift from God. Join us as we reflect on the beauty of obedience and the blessings that come when you step out in faith. In this episode, we cover: The decision to leave Sacramento and move to the East Coast.How Transverse Myelitis impacted our family and our choice to move.The spiritual journey of "letting go" and trusting God’s plan.Adjusting to life in SC and the unexpected gifts we’ve received.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to keep up with our journey!

    EPS 11: My past shouldn't be your present

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Alan LaChica to unpack a story that’s raw, honest, and ultimately full of hope. Alan shares what it was like to be abandoned at a young age, and how that early wound shaped his identity, relationships, and decisions as he grew older. We talk about the moment he came into a lot of money, and how that sudden success didn’t solve his problems—instead, it exposed and amplified sinful habits, hidden struggles, and areas of brokenness he hadn’t fully faced. We also dive deep into: The weight of generational curses and how patterns of pain and dysfunction can repeat across families The choices and turning points that allowed Alan to break those cycles and start a new legacy The near-destruction of his marriage and the honest work it took to fight for healing How his marriage was ultimately restored and redeemed, and what redemption looks like in real life—not just as a concept, but as a daily walk This is a conversation about trauma, temptation, accountability, faith, and second chances. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns, or wondered if your story can really change, Alan’s journey will encourage and challenge you. 🔔 Subscribe for more real, unfiltered stories of transformation and hope. 👍 If this episode speaks to you, please like, comment, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Episode. 10: I want to move on from this

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Roy for a raw and honest conversation about pain, redemption, and the faithfulness of God. Roy opens up about getting kicked out at an early age and how the instability of those years shaped him. We talk about the deep struggles within his immediate family, the brokenness that came with infidelity, and the moments when he felt like giving up completely—on his marriage, on himself, and on life as he knew it. But this isn’t just a story of failure. It’s a story of grace. Roy shares how God stepped into the middle of the mess, began to restore his marriage, and transform both him and his wife from the inside out. We discuss what real change looks like, the hard work of rebuilding trust, and how hope can be reborn even after the deepest betrayal. If you’ve ever felt like your story is too far gone or your marriage is beyond repair, this episode will remind you that God still heals, restores, and makes all things new.
