Im a Hispanic born in a small towm 1 hour south of san antonio called “Cotulla” cowboys/cowgirls. Been there all my life (43 years) like 90% Hispanics grew up catholic (red to the bone) lol! And then converted to Christian when i was about 12 years old (1992) backslid like every good christian does lol, i dropped out in the 11 grade, after passing all of my TASS test. I was hooked on cocaine and booz and woman, couldnt take it anymore! Was living at the time wity my gma. Called up my parents to come pick me up. Took a year off, regatherd myself amd eventually recieved my GED in may of 99! Immediately went to work in the secular, first 4 years i had about 10 jobs lol, super unstable to saybthe least! In 2004 a golden opportunity came honking not knocking! It was the union pacific railroad! Only God! I worked there for 10 years all midnight shift, then came my children, i was never home. In 2013 the eagle ford shale (oil field) hit amd i resigned from yhe railroad to persue the oil field, landed a job with a great furtune 500 company. From 2013 to 2024 i dedicated myself to that oilfield working across 8 counties in south texas! In September of 2020 during covid is when the Lord came and spoke to me. I still remeber where i was. He said, “i need you to sow a seed” being a backsliding christian remeber! Lol, i knew immediately what to do. Without hesitation i sowed! (Mark 4:13) got comected with an evangelical in north texas, we produced two christian tejano albums in the next two years! “La Unica Paz” = The only peace” and the second album “Sale el Sol” = The Sun Rises” the first one gets considered for a latin grammy (christian) category, made the top 80 for consideration, almost made the nominations! So we hit the road helping the evangelist with revivals across texas! At that time we run tye sound amd lights. Little by little the evangelist calls me to the altar to share at that point my testimony. I wanted nothing to do woth the pulpit! I was “comfortable “ behind the mixer board. After two years the Lord removes us from the evangelical field and brings us to a local church here in homtown cotulla, called “La Vina Del Senor” The Vine of the Lord” i said here? Lol! Two years later we get imstructed the “sound doctrine “ and like they say the rest is “History” we went from being “comfortable “ behind the mixer to now preaching the gospel of Jesus Chirst behingvthe pulpit! In dec of 23, the Lord gave us a ministry! Its his, we just the ugly administration lol, remember hes the vine we are the branches! In jan if this year i was still at the secular job makikg well over 6 figures! I had been in prayer for the Lord to remove me or my secular job!

    BTA Built To Bounce Back Ms Anonymous S (Guest Speaker)

    Send us Fan Mail   I was born in Alabama, a small Appalachian town where life began with challenges that shaped my resilience and determination. From the ages of 8 to 15, I endured significant hardships, and at 15, I made the courageous decision to leave home and move in with my grandmother — the one person who offered safety without judgment or questions. That experience became the foundation of my strength and perseverance. I began my career in Human Resources at a young age and have now spent 31 years building a successful career in corporate America. Along the way, I married in 1992 and became a proud mother to my son in 1993. Today, I continue to invest in my personal and professional growth as I work toward earning my third degree, including my master’s, while remaining passionate about leadership, people, and creating positive impact through my work.

    What If Pain Is Where Faith Turns Real (Jennifer Massey)

    Send us Fan Mail A life that looks “on track” can still be one phone call away from a before-and-after. Jennifer Langford Massy joins us to share the story of selling everything, moving to the coast of Nicaragua, and discovering that a hidden fight with bipolar disorder and major depression was growing at the same time. When they returned to the States to get help, her husband died by suicide, and Jennifer found herself navigating a kind of grief that’s heavy, complicated, and often surrounded by stigma. We talk candidly about suicide loss, mental health, and what it means to survive the first wave. Jennifer explains why she felt compelled to tell the truth publicly instead of staying silent, and how that choice became part of her healing and her ministry. We also get into practical grief support: counseling, boundaries when people flood you with advice, and why a grief playlist of worship music (and a few secular songs) can sometimes say what you can’t. Jennifer also shares how writing became therapy through her “Jen Thoughts” posts and how she’s shaping years of reflections into a future book centered on what she calls the sacrament of grief. To close, we zoom out to purpose and rebuilding: her jewelry business, her heart for women who are sole providers, and a nonprofit vision called Soul Provider. If you’ve been searching for honest conversations about grief, faith, suicide bereavement, and healing after loss, this one will meet you where you are. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find these stories. What’s one practice that has helped you hold on to hope?

I’m constantly reading, watching videos and tutorials and that's what I do just for fun! I’m a husband and a father, so in terms of provision and having great work ethic, that’s very important to me. I find it very fulfilling when a project has successfully been completed or when a full-on launch has deployed glitch-free. That’s just a little bit about me, but I would love to hear more about you and your project and how we can potentially work together.
