Valley of the Heroic Podcast

This episode hit different. Alex DeJesus grew up as a pastor's kid in a small Pentecostal church, loved it as a kid, then slowly drifted into a double life that nobody caught. He became a regional youth director, traveled five states preaching, and looked like everything was working. Behind the scenes, he and his wife became roommates. Nobody checked in. At 29, he got fired from ministry and separated from his wife in the same week. His mentor told him one thing: go back to Nineveh. His best friend gave him a house key in case he needed a place to stay. And then a Jamaican Uber passenger on her birthday changed everything. This is a conversation about the slow fade, behavior modification vs. real transformation, what it means to confuse doing for God with being close to God, and why going back was 180,000% worth it. Eric also shares his own story of nearly losing his marriage during his depression. Two men. Same crossroad. Same choice. Same God.Guest: Alex DeJesus — Pastor, worship musician, husband.Facebook: Alex DeJesus | Instagram: @alex_thesourceNeed prayer? ➡️ DM me on Instagram @ericmunozjr📥 Want a simple tool to check your spiritual health?

In todays special episode we're unveiling the new Valley of the Heroic podcast soundtrack, composed by my friend Anthony Rodriguez, and diving into the heart behind it. What started as a conversation about the music became something deeper: both of us sharing the moments where God closed doors we'd been knocking on for years, and what it looks like to let go so He can do something new. Anthony was one person away from working with Marc Anthony for years. I spent nearly 20 years preparing to be a pastor. Both of us had to walk away from what we thought we were supposed to be. And maybe God has done the same with you...Chapters:00:00 - New Soundtrack Premiere + Intro02:04 - Anthony's Musical Background (Legalistic Pentecostal Roots)08:05 - Breaking Down the Soundtrack (Valley to Breakthrough to Glory)14:28 - "Your Story Inspired This Soundtrack"25:55 - "I Will Never Dwell on an Opportunity Ever Again"29:12 - Anthony's Daughter's Autism Diagnosis38:21 - Church Hurt and Moving On42:57 - One Person Away from Marc Anthony (God's Chinese Wall)57:24 - Eric's Story: From Pastor Track to Creative01:07:03 - Letting Go So God Can Do Something New01:17:06 - Closing: Develop That Relationship, Everything Else Falls in Place---Need prayer? ➡️ DM me on Instagram @ericmunozjr📥 Want a simple tool to check your spiritual health?

What if the thing slowly killing Christians isn't persecution, it's the plate? July Henry is a Brooklyn native, two-time military veteran, and natural health advocate who believes God put healing power inside the foods He created. In this conversation, July shares how God called him to teach the church about health, how he's watched people reverse chronic illness through herbs and clean eating, and why self-control is the real root of the problem. Eric also gets vulnerable about his own eight-year weight battle and what it means to die to yourself so you can finally come alive.Guest: July (Giovanni) Henry — Brooklyn native, U.S. Marine Corps and Army veteran, aspiring naturopathy practitioner, co-founder of Faith and Roots with his wife---Need prayer? ➡️ DM me on Instagram @ericmunozjr📥 Want a simple tool to check your spiritual health?

Jonathan Echevarria was 12 when pornography first warped his mind. By his teens, he was having thoughts he couldn't control, chasing women for identity, and living out the script his culture handed him. At 19, he made a decision that would haunt him. At 23, something broke open at a business conference altar call. In this episode, Jonathan shares the parts of his story most people wouldn't dare speak out loud, and the deliverance moment where he went back to hug his wounded younger self.We also get into the pressure young men face when their identity is built on conquest, what it means to re-parent your inner child, why the fruit of the Spirit has a timeline but not a timeframe, and my thoughts on marriage as a mirror.KEY TAKEAWAYS:→ Early exposure to explicit content is an assault on a child's inner being→ The thoughts you're afraid to speak need the cross, not just willpower→ Sanctification has a timeline (the fruit) but not a fixed timeframe→ Father wounds shape us, but spiritual fathers can help heal us→ A great marriage requires two people dying to themselves constantlyCHAPTERS:0:00 - The Thoughts That Haunted Him2:56 - Jonathans Story19:19 - Reparenting your inner child25:07 - The Pressure 15-Year-Old Boys Can't Manage31:02 - Why We Need the Cross Every Day41:53 - Fathers50:04 - Marriage as a Mirror59:05 - The Devil's Strategy for Intimacy1:06:28 - Proverbs 11:25: Refresh Others, Be RefreshedCONNECT WITH JONATHAN: @thejonathanechavarria  IG: thejonathanechavarriaCONNECT WITH US:Need prayer? ➡️ DM me on Instagram @ericmunozjr📥 Find out where you are spiritually!

Viewer discretion advised.What happens when success gives you everything you wanted… and none of the peace you expected?In this episode of the Valley of the Heroic Podcast, Eric sits down with JT for a raw and deeply honest conversation about pain, discipline, and surrender.JT shares what it was like growing up without a father, surviving homelessness at 14, and later achieving the kind of success most people chase, only to find himself empty, exhausted, and ready to give up.What followed wasn’t a polished prayer or a perfect plan.It was pain.It was honesty.It was a moment of surrender.This conversation explores why God often allows pain, how discipline becomes discipleship, and why avoiding suffering might actually keep us from healing.If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting peace and being afraid of change…This episode is for you.If you need prayer:Send us a message.

⚠️ Trigger Warning (Recommended): This episode includes discussion of occult/Santería, spiritual oppression, sleep paralysis/night terrors, anxiety/panic attacks, and emotionally heavy experiences. Viewer discretion advised.What happens when something that promises peace slowly becomes a source of fear?In this episode of Valley of the Heroic, Eric sits down with Eric (yes… Eric and Eric 😅) for a testimony that goes straight to the heart of spiritual warfare, surrender, and the relentless pursuit of God.He shares what it looked like to get drawn into Santería and divination, the hidden cost that came with it, and the moment everything started cracking open. Vivid dreams. Night terrors. A spiritual pressure that wouldn’t let him stay comfortable.And then… the turning point. Not a perfect prayer. Not a polished plan. Just a real cry:“God, I’m ready. Help me.”If you’ve been mixing Jesus with other “guidance,” if you’ve felt stuck in fear, or if you’ve been hearing God pull on you and you don’t know what to do next, this conversation is for you.If you need prayer:Send us a message.

The discussion moves from surface-level "how to avoid burnout" advice into the deeper question: What do you do when you're already burning out?The conversation centers on a powerful distinction: We weren't meant to isolate with burnout, we were meant to isolate with Jesus. Using the Levitical altar as a framework, João introduces the idea that "God provided the fire, but He calls us to provide the wood." The daily, unglamorous discipline of stoking the fire is what sustains us, not the big retreat moments or viral ministry wins.Julio shares his testimony for the first time publicly, walking through a season of severe depression where he made plans while still leading worship on Sunday mornings. His encounter with God on a plane ride home, where God told him "Everything you've done, you've done because you've heard of me, not because you've seen me," became the turning point that reshaped his entire ministry.This episode is a call to return to the garden, to take off the fig leaves of performance, shame, and self-focus, and to actually see Christ risen.Burnout isn't just about being tired. If you're running on fumes. If ministry feels heavy. If you love Jesus but feel far from Him, this one is for you.This is Valley of the Heroic. The valley is where your voice begins.Key Scripture: Leviticus (altar fire), Genesis 3 (fig leaves), Acts 2:1-2 (waiting), Matthew 6:25-34 (anxiety),🔥 Need prayer?

What if anxiety isn’t your identity and obedience is the doorway to real confidence in God? In today’s Valley of the Heroic, Eric sits down with Brianna B to talk about choosing purpose over safety, parenting from peace, and learning to trust the “old word” God already gave you while you wait for the next one.In this conversation you’ll hear:How to move from spiraling thoughts to God-confidence in daily lifeWhy obedience beats comfort when you feel stuckThe difference between chasing a fresh word and stewarding the last onePractical ways to “dig deeper wells” with God instead of looking for quick fixesParenting through anxiety and modeling surrender at homeScriptures we reference:James 1:2-4Luke 9:23Philippians 4:6-7Psalm 1:1-3Key takeaways:Start with the word you already have.
