Kumusta, mga kaibigan! In this heartfelt episode of JOSh Friends, we reflect on the light of hope that shines even in the darkest corners of our lives.Joining us is Kelvin Galano, a teacher, singer, and event host, who shares a powerful message inspired by Fr. Eli Rowdy Lumbo’s book, Redemption Behind Bars—particularly the chapter, From Despair to Hope.Through this reflection, Kelvin reminds us that God never abandons us, not even in our lowest moments. Whether we are physically imprisoned or trapped by fear, sin, or suffering, God remains with us. In every note we sing, in every prayer we offer, He extends His invitation: “Come to me, all you who are weary.”As Kelvin recalls their recording session for JesCom’s Lenten Special, he shares how music becomes more than melody—it becomes a vessel of hope and healing. Just like the story of Pedro, an inmate who found grace in suffering, our small sacrifices can be transformed into powerful offerings of love.🎵 Let the songs of Lent lead you to healing. Join us for the JesCom Lenten Special on April 16 at 3:00 PM, featuring reflections and songs of hope.📘 Deepen your Lenten journey with Redemption Behind Bars by Fr. Eli Rowdy Lumbo, SJ—available now at jescom.ph/josh, along with inspiring books, soul-stirring music, and video productions for the season.💜 And don’t forget, JOSh Friends is featuring women’s voices and more inspiring stories this month—so stay tuned and journey with us through Lent.
