Ep. 135 Arjay Mendiola - You belong!

Arjay talks about life… being adopted, his track and field identity and his view of God before and after accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior!Life without Christ and feeling like he did not belong led to confusion and ultimately an attempt at suicide.  Arjay was very open and transparent about his personal life…  reach out to him through social media and hear his story! The Good News… God continues to pursue each one of us, not wanting anyone to perish, but to have eternal life with Him in heaven! The encouragement is that God can still save you, no matter what you have done in the past!  You are never too far gone! “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Romans 10:9-10#Jesusfollower #youbelong #realestste #Xmarksthespot #romansroad_ _ _For more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckettIf you or someone you know want to be on the podcast, please reach out to me on Instagram @conversationswithbuddy or text me at 503-851-8031. _ _ _About Buddy Puckett:Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.  A mentoring opportunity all started when he first began in the mortgage industry in 1998, when he began to mentor a younger guy who happened to be married.  This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage.  We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well.  Buddy’s wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ! “Jesus said to him, ’I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6
