On this week’s episode of Thrive, I sit down with my wife, Diana Sagot, to talk about the spiritual world and the prophetic. It’s a conversation that explores what the Bible reveals about the unseen realm, how the prophetic operates today, and why it’s so important to approach these topics with biblical understanding and a heart led by the Holy Spirit.

We talk about the balance between being spiritually sensitive and grounded in truth, the importance of discernment, and what it looks like to walk in spiritual authority while staying aligned with God's Word. We also reflect on how these topics impact our everyday lives and faith journey.

My hope is that this episode encourages you to lean into the gifts God has placed in your life, and reminds you that you can be spiritually aware and still live with joy, kindness, and balance.

This week on Thrive, I’m joined again by my friends Arnaldo Delgado and John Lefebvre for the second part of our conversation about mental health, anxiety, and leadership. We explore the challenges that come with managing anxiety while leading and how to keep trusting God even when things feel uncertain.

We talk about the struggle between wanting to know and control the future versus living by faith, and the importance of having the right mindset to overcome fear and worry. We also discuss how leaders can be vulnerable in healthy ways without losing their strength or focus.

We share practical tips for shifting negative thoughts, the power of surrounding yourself with supportive people, and how discipline and community play key roles in mental and emotional healing.

This episode reminds us that it’s okay to face struggles and that with faith and intentional steps, healing and growth are possible. I hope this conversation brings you encouragement and practical insight for your own journey.

On this episode of Thrive I sit down with my friends Arnaldo Delgado and John Lefebvre for a meaningful conversation about life, faith, and mental health. We open up about our own experiences with anxiety and the ways we’ve learned to navigate those moments while still holding on to our faith.

We talk about how staying connected to God doesn’t have to look perfect and how small, intentional choices throughout the day can help us grow spiritually. Whether it's during a commute, a workout, or just a quiet moment at home, we share practical ways to invite God into everyday life.

We also dive into the importance of community, confession, and taking care of both our minds and our bodies. From sleep to sunlight to simply reaching out to someone, we cover what it looks like to live with both faith and honesty.

I hope this episode inspires you to reflect and find strength in whatever season you’re in. Thanks for listening and being part of this community.

In this episode of Thrive, I dive into a leadership lesson drawn from the story of Naaman in 2 Kings chapter 5. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the breakthrough we’re looking for is just on the other side of humility and obedience.

We explore what it looks like to lead with a heart that’s willing to listen, grow, and respond to God’s direction, even when it doesn’t come in the way we expect. I talk about how pride can keep us stuck, how humility opens the door to healing, and how obedience leads to transformation.

Whether you're in ministry, business, parenting, or simply navigating your personal journey, this message is for anyone who wants to keep becoming the person God has called them to be.

Hey everyone! In this week’s episode of Thrive, I’m sharing some of the leadership principles that have shaped the culture at Calvary Church—practices that help create an environment where people feel valued, empowered, and connected.

I break down seven key things we focus on as a team: defining culture, leading by example, removing what doesn’t belong, calling out the gold in others, training disciples, releasing people into leadership, and staying connected. These principles are simple but powerful, and they apply to any setting—whether it’s your workplace, church, or home.

We also talk about the beauty of creating spaces filled with joy, peace, and purpose. I hope this conversation inspires you to be intentional about the culture you're building and encourages you as you lead in whatever space God has placed you.

In this week’s episode of Thrive, I sit down with my friend John for a real and honest conversation about life, faith, and fatherhood. We talk about what it was like finding out we were going to be dads, how that changed our perspective on God’s love, and what we’ve learned about trusting Him through every season.

We also answer some powerful questions from the community — things like how to handle unanswered prayers, what to do when you feel far from God, and how to move forward when you feel unqualified or insecure. We touch on the story of the prodigal son, explore why apologetics matters, and share how even our lowest moments can lead us closer to God.

If you’re in a season of waiting, searching for direction, or simply looking for encouragement, I think this episode will speak to you. Thanks for watching and being part of the Thrive community.

In this episode of Thrive, I sit down for a very special conversation with my dad, Manuel Sagot. We dive into his life story — from growing up in Costa Rica, to becoming a father, and how his faith shaped his life, and the values he’s passed down to our family.

We talk about the values that shaped him, the role of faith in our family, and the ups and downs of raising a family while staying rooted in God’s word. My dad shares memories from his childhood, his early relationship with God, and what it was like to move to the U.S. with my mom and start a new life from scratch.

It’s a conversation about legacy, love, and what it means to build a home that lasts. Whether you're a new parent, someone working through change, or just looking for encouragement, I know this episode will speak to you.

In this week’s episode of Thrive, I had the opportunity to sit down with my friend Carlos Flores for an honest and moving conversation about life, faith, and the strength we find in the middle of hardship. We looked back at our roots growing up in Hialeah and the meaningful impact that church, family, and community have had on shaping who we are today.

We also talked about what it means to hold on to faith during life’s most painful moments, how forgiveness can free us, and why community is so important when walking through grief or healing. It’s a conversation filled with perspective, encouragement, and reminders of God’s grace through every season.

Whether you’re facing a personal challenge, reflecting on your own faith journey, or simply in need of some hope, I believe this episode will speak to your heart.
