    Hello Dreamer: Chasing the Dream, Marriage & Faith | Vision & Vows Podcast Ep. 1

    Episode description Welcome to the very first episode of Vision & Vows. Angel and Kayla Mendoza pull up two chairs and share the story behind the show: the dark season where Kayla felt God nudge her to start a podcast, and the Amazon cart full of gear that showed up at the door before she could talk herself out of it. From there they walk through the early years: newlywed life, youth ministry, a cleaning business, and the dream house that came with a mortgage statement so lopsided it sparked the line that opens the episode, "the American dream is such a scam." They share the fight over the for-sale sign, the book that changed Angel's mindset, the move into their first duplex, and the string of failed side hustles that taught them you only lose when you stop learning. Along the way, Angel introduces the Five F's, a simple way to write a vision for your faith, family, fitness, finances, and fun, inspired by Habakkuk 2 and the call to write the vision down and make it plain. The episode closes with a prayer for anyone who has stopped dreaming. If you are ready to dream again, this one is for you. Welcome to the table.
