As we step into 2026, Ed Fernandez reflects on 2025 as a year of deep testing, hard lessons, and spiritual training. What began as ignored warnings from a mentor became refining trials that exposed areas of the soul still ruled by the flesh—and revealed the necessity of spiritual fathers, mentors, and tested leaders in our lives.

In this episode, Ed unpacks the biblical foundation of spiritual formation through mentorship, drawing from Galatians 5, James 1, and the lives of Noah, Moses, and David. He shares vulnerable insights from a 16-year relationship with a spiritual father—one marked by conflict, correction, hurt, reconciliation, and ultimately, growth. Through this process, Ed learned that greatness is not achieved in isolation, character is forged through testing, and calling always demands training.

This conversation confronts anger, insecurity, identity struggles, and the subtle deception of using defense mechanisms that actually prevent healing. Ed explains how unresolved wounds can sabotage destinies, why untested commitment is fragile, and how disappointment with leaders often becomes the proving ground for true maturity.

Most importantly, this episode is a call to restoration—a call to restore the soul through humility, mentorship, and trust in God’s design for each season of life. Ed closes by declaring 2026 as a year of breakthrough, favor, new identity, and fulfilled destiny—for those willing to bring a new version of themselves into the new year.

If you’ve felt stuck, angry, discouraged, or unsure why certain battles keep resurfacing, this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that you’re not circling the mountain—you’re climbing it.

In this powerful new episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed opens up about a lifelong struggle with anger and the revelation that changed everything: not all anger is sinful. Scripture makes room for a righteous, godly anger — one that reveals what’s broken, invites the Holy Spirit into the moment, and produces transformation instead of destruction.

Through Psalms, Ephesians, James, and the moment Jesus overturned the tables in the temple, Ed unpacks the critical difference between ungodly anger that reacts and godly anger that discerns. Anger, when surrendered to God, becomes a signal — like a fire alarm — alerting us to hidden hurt, fear, rejection, and wounds that need healing before they turn destructive.

This episode weaves raw personal stories with practical spiritual insight, showing how anger often disguises deeper pain and how the Holy Spirit exposes the true source when we slow down and listen. Ed explains why reacting in anger can undo years of preparation, damage relationships beyond repair, and quietly steal identity — while godly anger, processed correctly, restores authority, clarity, and peace.

You’ll learn how to recognize the emotion without letting it control your response, how to invite God into heated moments instead of giving them to the enemy, and why suppressing anger only delays the explosion. Ed also challenges listeners to step into 2026 with maturity, discipline, and spiritual authority — choosing healing over reaction and discernment over intimidation.

This episode is a call to quiet the soul, reclaim dominion, and allow God to heal broken places so you can walk fully into your calling, your family’s future, and your promised land.

How do you identify yourself—by a license, a passport, a title, or a past experience? In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we confront one of the most foundational questions of faith: identity.

Using the life of King David as a blueprint, Ed unpacks the difference between being anointed and actually believing who God says you are. David defeated Goliath by faith, but it took identity for him to take the throne. That same tension exists in our lives today. Faith believes in what God can do. Identity believes in what God can do through you.

This message dives deep into how trauma, disappointment, and even success can distort our self-perception and delay what God has already prepared for us. Ed explains why salvation qualifies us, but soul restoration positions us—and why many believers remain stuck not because they lack faith, but because their souls are still wounded.

Drawing from Psalm 23, Jeremiah 29, and the words of Jesus, this episode explores how emotions, thoughts, and unresolved pain can limit our calling if left unhealed. When the soul is restored, heaven doesn’t just become our destination—it begins to invade earth through our lives.

If you’ve felt stuck, angry, disconnected, or unsure of your purpose, this episode is an invitation to dream again, to heal deeply, and to step confidently into your next season. You are not who your past says you are. You are a son or daughter of the Most High God, called to walk in freedom, purpose, and authority.
