    Ernesto Hernandez-" The Ministry of Presence and Prayer"

    In this episode I sit down with Ernesto Hernandez. Born and raised in Baldwin Park, Ca he quickly saw how having a present and active spiritual leader can impact a life. The Lord took Ernesto and his wife from their home to the Marines to eventually placing them in a small community church in San Clemente, Ca where discipleship became a pillar in their life.  Fast forward 20 years, Ernesto is now the Pastor of El Buen Pastor. A humble church that meets on the same grounds as the church he started with.

    Marcus Bratton-“Discipled to Shepherd”

    In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Marcus Bratton. He serves as the Youth Pastor at Christ Community Church. However, his spiritual walk started from thinking he would ever step into the role of a shepherd.  From asking challenging biblical questions as a teen, to learning apologetics, then being a missionary in Utah, the Lord has brought Marcus on an amazing discipleship journey.
