Between updates about a brand-new merch store and urgent prayers for wildfire-stricken communities, Angel weaves personal stories, scripture, and the humble mission to spread God’s light one episode at a time. Hear the episode like a living time capsule: a pastor’s voice preserved for future generations, a candid confession about the daily struggle to forgive, and an earnest invitation to become part of a movement—by sharing the show, leaving a review, or wearing the message. It’s a warm, urgent call to action and comfort, inviting listeners to shine brighter together and carry this small but powerful legacy forward.

In this special edition of Have Faith, Let It Begin, Angel Santana turns his heart north to the wildfires sweeping across Canada — painting a scene of smoky skies, families fleeing their homes, and firefighters stepping into danger to save strangers. Through scripture and witness, the episode weaves a moving narrative of courage, neighborly compassion, and the quiet presence of God in the storm. Listeners are invited to journey into the stories of those who show up, the leaders making hard choices, and the volunteers who refuse to look away. Join the host in a heartfelt call to prayer and action: lift up the exhausted, ask for wisdom and rain, and remember that even from afar our faith can cross borders to bring hope, strength, and comfort.

Have you ever felt too broken, too small, or too scared to be used by God? This episode traces Gideon’s surprising encounter with the divine and the pastor’s own story of doors that closed only to guide him toward a calling he never imagined. Through vivid scenes—threshing wheat in a winepress, whispered excuses, a simple promise—listeners will be drawn into a narrative about how God names us by who we are becoming, not by where we hide today. It’s a hopeful, honest call to stop defining ourselves by fear and to start trusting God’s slow work of transformation.   BECOMING: The Person God Always Knew You Could Be Have you ever wondered if God could really use someone like you? Have your mistakes, fears, or past ever made you question your purpose? In this inspiring message, Pastor-in-Training Angel Santana Jr. explores the remarkable story of Gideon—a man who saw himself as weak, afraid, and unqualified, yet was called by God a "mighty warrior." This sermon reminds us that God does not define us by our fears, failures, or where we are today. Instead, He sees who we are becoming through His grace, His calling, and His purpose for our lives. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, searching for direction, or simply needing encouragement, this message will remind you that God has never stopped working in your life. Before you believed in yourself... God already knew who you could become. 📖 Scripture: Judges 6:11–16 "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior." — Judges 6:12 May this message encourage you to trust God's plan, walk by faith, and discover the person He has always known you could be.

Happy Father's Day! What makes a father? Is it biology, a title, or something deeper? In this Father's Day sermon, we explore the strength, sacrifice, and faithfulness of the people who helped raise us. In this special Father's Day message, we honor fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, coaches, teachers, and all those who have helped guide and shape the next generation. We also recognize the sacrifices of single parents who faithfully carried both roles, as well as the family members, friends, and role models who stepped in when they were needed most. Through the examples of Joseph, the father of Jesus, the Prodigal Son's father, and personal reflections on the lessons passed down from one generation to the next, we explore what it means to have "The Strength to Stay." This sermon is a reminder that some of life's greatest acts of love are found in showing up, staying faithful, and being present for the people God has entrusted to us. Whether you were raised by a father, a mother, a grandparent, a mentor, or someone who stepped into that role, this message is for you. 📖 Scriptures: • Matthew 1:19-24 • Luke 15:11-32 • Psalm 103:13 • Proverbs 20:7   🎙 Sermon by Pastor In Traning Angel Santana Jr. If this message encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who has made a difference in your life. 🙏 Happy Father's Day and God bless. #FathersDay #TheStrengthToStay #PastorAngel #FirstReformedChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithFamilyAndLove #Joseph #FatherFigures #SundaySermon #HaveFaithLetItBegin

This week on Have Faith Let It Begin, I'm opening up about one of the most difficult chapters of my life. The series is called CHEATED. Not just being cheated on in relationships, but being cheated by people, cheated by broken trust, cheated by fear, and even the times we cheat ourselves out of the life God intended for us. If you've ever been betrayed... If you've ever had your trust broken... If you've ever struggled to move forward after heartbreak... This series is for you. Because your story is not over. God still writes the final chapter. 🎙️ New episodes all week on Have Faith Let It Begin #HaveFaithLetItBegin #CheatedSeries #FaithOverFear #ChristianPodcast #HealingJourney #BrokenTrust #HeartbreakRecovery #JesusHeals #FaithInTheStorm #MentalHealthAwareness #ChristianEncouragement #OvercomingPain #GodIsFaithful #PodcastLife #DailyInspiration #HopeAfterHeartbreak #TrustGod #HealingThroughFaith #AngelSantana #MotivationalPodcast

It's a short, soulful story about patience, healing, and learning to trust a timing that's larger than our feeds.

 This episode peels back the public smile to reveal the quiet, relentless weariness so many of us carry—physical, emotional, spiritual—while we keep functioning and pretending everything is fine. Angel shares a candid, fatherly invitation: you don’t have to be polished to come to God. Using Matthew 11:28 as a guide, he weaves scripture and confession into a gentle call to honesty, rest, and renewal. Through a short prayer and a comforting cadence, the episode becomes a safe space for listeners to admit they are tired, to breathe, and to accept that rest is not weakness but grace.

 A life marked by early sparks of faith leads to a raw, honest testimony about the exhaustion of the mind.
