A proposito di questo titolo

Faith. Life. Real Talk.


I’m a pastor with a deep passion for teaching God’s Word and helping people discover a meaningful relationship with Christ. But I’m also human—living in the same world you do, facing the same ups and downs.


This space is where faith meets everyday life. I don’t want to ignore the struggles we all face—whether spiritual, emotional, or practical. My hope is to walk alongside you, offering truth, grace, and guidance for both this life and the one to come.


Let’s grow together.

  • Jesus Pursues The One, And We Should Too

    You can feel it in the room when someone remembers where grace first met them. That’s where we begin—owning the messy, specific ways Jesus changes a life—and then we widen the lens to what a church looks like when it beats with the same pulse. Luke 15 becomes our map: a Shepherd who risks for the one, a woman who tears the house apart for a single coin, and a heaven that throws a party louder than our skepticism.

    We talk candidly about a subtle drift that happens in churches when a platform defines the culture instead of the Savior. Holiness-by-distance was the Pharisees’ strategy; holiness-by-presence is Jesus’ way. He sat with people we’re tempted to avoid, learned their names, and loved them before they knew what to do with it. That’s not soft on sin; that’s strong on rescue. We unpack why belonging must precede becoming, how baptism embodies freedom, and where self-help cannot carry the weight that only the cross can hold.

    From there, we get practical. What does a Luke 15 culture look like in your week, not just on a Sunday? It looks like one more chair at your table, one more text to the person who wandered, one more patient conversation where shame has been loud. It looks like remembering we were the ones on the ledge or lost under the dresser—and refusing to write anyone off. Jesus built his movement with people the religious world called “not good enough.” If he could entrust them with the world, he can trust you with your street.

    If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a review to help more people find these stories of rescue and renewal. Your “one” might be waiting for an invitation you can give.

  • Found, Not Famous

    Ever felt the sting of doing everything “right” and still wondering why you feel hollow? We go there—through teenage anger and hospital nights, through platform-building and burnout, through the deceptive comfort of praise that fades when the room empties. What begins as a confession about craving approval turns into a journey toward a steadier love, anchored in Luke 15, where the Shepherd lifts, the Woman searches, and the Father runs before the apology is over.

    We unpack how easy it is to stake identity on performance, titles, follower counts, or even ministry outcomes—and why that math always breaks your heart. The crowd’s cheers can flip to jeers; Jesus lived that contrast. Yet the parables of the lost sheep, coin, and sons reveal a God who doesn’t wait for us to tidy up. He moves first, carries our weight, and throws a feast where shame expected probation. We also sit with the older brother’s anger, the quiet entitlement that grows when love feels like wages, not gift. It’s a sober reminder that religious polish can hide a lost heart as easily as reckless living can.

    From there we turn practical: how to surrender the scoreboard, return before burnout, and let calling become participation rather than performance. We talk about finding worth that is received, not achieved, and what changes when you live found—more patience with yourself, deeper presence with others, and a gentler, bolder witness in a world starving for belonging. If you’ve been hustling for love or hiding from grace, this conversation offers a way home, and a mission: join the search for those still wandering.

    If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a quick review so others can find their way home too.

  • Live Ready, Love Boldly, Multiply Faithfully

    What if the clearest way to face the future is to get faithful in the present? We dive into Jesus’ parables and the sweeping arc of Matthew 24–25 to explore how readiness, mercy, and stewardship form a life that actually looks like the kingdom of God. Instead of chasing predictions, we focus on what Jesus says matters now: be prepared like the wise with oil in hand, love the least as if serving the King himself, and put every entrusted gift to work.

    We start with the hard grace of forgiveness and the vineyard lessons that remind us nothing we have is truly ours to gatekeep. Then we confront the noise around end times with Jesus’ simple clarity: no one knows the hour, so live ready. That readiness gets practical in the sheep and goats, where the metric is mercy—feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, clothing the cold, showing up for the sick and imprisoned. It’s not a political slogan; it’s a kingdom standard measured in quiet, costly acts of love.

    At the center, the parable of the talents reframes success. Each servant receives a fortune, not a trinket. Two risk, multiply, and hear “well done.” One buries the trust out of fear and calls that safety. We unpack how apathy can hollow out a church when inspiration never becomes participation, and why most people show up because a friend invites them and stays. Gifts often awaken with a simple yes—whether it’s music, hospitality, leadership, or faithful presence behind the scenes. Stewardship stretches beyond money to include time, skill, influence, and relationships, all leveraged for God’s purposes.

    Our takeaway is clear and urgent: live ready without paranoia, love people in concrete ways, and refuse to bury what God has placed in your hands. If he gives one, make two; if he gives five, make ten. That’s the posture we’re choosing as a community—invest, build, and multiply with open hands—trusting the Master with the increase. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review to help others find the show. What gift will you put to work this week?
