Bad Bunny is having a major cultural moment, and for many of us, especially in the Puerto Rican community, there is real pride in seeing that kind of global impact. But what happens when cultural celebration and personal conviction do not fully align?

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about fandom, influence, and what it looks like to walk with discernment in today’s culture. We talk about the tension believers can feel when someone can be both culturally significant and personally conflicting, and how to navigate that space without becoming judgmental or compromising our values.

This is not about cancel culture. It is not about tearing anyone down. It is about learning how to live in the world with wisdom, guard our hearts, and lead our homes well in a culture that is constantly pulling for our attention.

If you have ever wrestled with being proud of the moment but cautious about the message, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, LJ and I talk about the story that plays in our heads and how it shapes the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and even God. I share how I’ve wrestled with thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” “I always mess things up,” and “God must be disappointed in me,” and how those narratives quietly started to influence my decisions and my faith. We dig into where these stories can come from, how they show up in everyday life, and the difference between conviction that leads to growth and shame that keeps us stuck. Romans 12 reminds us that real transformation starts with renewing our minds, and for me, that has meant learning to let God rewrite the story I’ve believed for years. If you’ve ever felt stuck in guilt, trying to prove your worth, hiding struggles, or feeling like you never measure up, this conversation is for you. This week, I challenge you to ask yourself one question: Is the story I’m telling myself bringing life, or draining it? It might be time to change the narrative.

Season 2 of The Honest Pursuit Podcast kicks off with a conversation that feels both heavy and meaningful as we sit down with our good friend Saul while his time in Okinawa comes to an end and a new chapter begins for him and his family back in Texas. This episode is about more than a move. It is about growth, faith, and the unexpected ways a season of life can shape who you become. We talk through what changed in Saul during his time overseas, the lessons he did not see coming, and how this season refined his perspective, priorities, and trust in God. It is an honest look at brotherhood, the value of strong friendships, and what community really means for men walking through life together. We also reflect on what it looks like to carry the right things into a new season and leave behind what no longer serves you. If you have ever had to say goodbye to close friends, step into the unknown, or trust God through a transition that did not fully make sense at first, this conversation will resonate deeply. It is about gratitude for where you have been, clarity about who you are becoming, and faith for what is ahead as we begin Season 2 together.
