The Gift of Encouragement ft Eddie Torres & Robert Bernal

This episode of the Kingdom Misfits explores the spiritual and practical dimensions of encouragement through the personal journeys of guests Eddie Torres and Robert Bernal. Both men share how their histories with addiction and incarceration now inform their ministry work at recovery programs like Back to Life and Kingdom Recovery. They define encouragement not as mere politeness, but as a gift and an active commitment to "standing in the battlefield" with others to pull out their God-given potential. The discussion emphasizes that effective encouragement requires discernment, deep empathy, and the consistency of following up with individuals beyond formal settings. Ultimately, highlighting that maintaining one's own spiritual health through prayer and scripture is essential to successfully "pouring into" the lives of those who feel like outcasts.Connect with us:Facebook @KingdomMisfitsemail us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])Music in the episode is brought to you by Epidemic Sound and UppBeat.io
