In this episode of the Newstory Podcast, Pastor Fernando and Faith Morales share a few big updates from this season of life. They talk about preparing to welcome a new baby, Fernando’s new job and what that transition means for their family, and the encouraging growth of Newstory Church’s weekly gatherings.

Join us for an honest conversation about faith, change, family, calling, and trusting God as He writes a new story in our home and community.

In this episode, we share some big life updates—a new baby, a new house, and highlights from Connection 2026, our annual denominational gathering. We also unpack what it really takes to plant a church: building a healthy team, navigating finances with wisdom, and trusting God in the process. If you’ve been impacted by this ministry and want to sow financially into New Story Church, you can give securely at newstorylc.com.

In this episode, I (Fernando) have a fun and honest conversation with our 9-year-old son about church planting and what it’s been like for him growing up in it. Church planting is a family endeavor, and this episode gives you a real, unfiltered look at how it feels from a kid’s perspective, what he thinks we’re doing, what he enjoys, and what’s maybe a little confusing too.

There are some genuinely funny moments (including when he completely forgot his mom is a pastor… yeah, awkward 😂), along with some really sweet and insightful ones.

It’s a reminder that while we’re building NewStory, God is also shaping our family in the process.
