What started as a need for our parents turned into a powerful reminder that God always provides. This is the story of how He made a way when we didn’t see one. #faithignitedpodcast #PortugueseAmerican #culture #faith

In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart and share a message dedicated to my son-in-law, B and to anyone who has ever felt lost, distant from God, or unsure if faith is meant for them.

This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about love. It’s about the people we pray for quietly, the ones we carry in our hearts, and the ones God is still gently calling home. I speak from a mother’s place of hope, sharing stories of grace, the battles we face in silence, and the truth that God never stops pursuing us even when we don’t believe, even when we can’t see Him.

Whether you’re struggling with faith, praying for someone who is, or simply searching for meaning in the chaos of life, this message is for you too. May these words bring comfort, clarity, and a reminder that no one is ever too far gone for God’s love.

Dedicated with love to B — and to every wandering heart.

Have you ever wondered why some people treat you so poorly, even when you’ve done nothing but good? In this episode, I open up about my own experiences with hurtful behavior and dig deep into how the enemy works behind the scenes to influence people’s choices. The devil rarely shows up with horns and a pitchfork — instead, he whispers lies, fuels pride, stirs jealousy, and twists emotions to push people into actions that wound others.

Together, we’ll unpack the enemy’s tactics step by step, learn how to recognize when darkness is driving decisions, and discover how to guard our hearts with God’s truth and protection. If you’ve ever faced betrayal, slander, or unfair treatment, this episode will help you see the spiritual battle beneath the surface — and remind you that God’s light is always greater than the enemy’s schemes.

This Christmas on Faith Ignited, we return to the night that changed everything.

In a world marked by fear, uncertainty, and longing, God chose not power or prestige—but a manger. Through the timeless Christmas story, we journey from darkness to hope, from waiting to wonder, and from brokenness to redemption.

This episode gently retells the birth of Jesus, reminding us that God enters our lives quietly, tenderly, and right where we are. It’s a story for the weary, the hopeful, the doubting, and the faithful—a reminder that love was born, mercy arrived, and heaven came close.

Whether you’re celebrating in joy or carrying silent struggles, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and rediscover the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us—still igniting faith today.

In this deeply moving Part 2 of her testimony, we continue an intense and powerful conversation that dives into the reality of sexual abuse, trauma, and the battles of addiction. Her story is raw and real, yet it shines with hope as she shares how Jesus met her in the darkest places and carried her into healing, freedom, and redemption. This episode is not only a testimony of survival but also a reminder that no matter how deep the pain runs, God’s mercy runs deeper. If you’ve ever felt broken, alone, or beyond saving, her story will remind you that Jesus is still in the business of rescuing, restoring, and renewing lives.

⚠️ Listener discretion is advised: this episode contains sensitive topics including sexual abuse and addiction.

New Episode Alert — A Long Time Coming

Faith Ignited Podcast | Part of Our Abuse & Redemption Series

This episode has been on my heart for a long time, and it’s finally here. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s something I truly believe the world needs to hear.

In this powerful two-part series, I sit down with my beautiful, courageous, and incredibly strong daughter, Chelsea Ferreira, as she shares her testimony — a story of resilience, pain, suffering, strength, and redemption.

Chelsea opens up about her journey through sexual abuse, physical abuse, addiction, trauma, triggers, and the ongoing process of healing. It’s not an easy listen, and it wasn’t an easy conversation — but it was necessary. Through this interview, I learned things about my daughter that I never knew… and she learned things about me too. It was beautiful. Painful, but beautiful.

This conversation isn’t just about the past. It’s about the hope and healing that can rise from even the deepest wounds. Chelsea is stepping out in bravery to share her story, not for attention, but to help someone — maybe you. Because here at Faith Ignited, we believe:

“If we help one person, we’ve done our job.”

🙏 Thank you to everyone who continues to listen, support, and share these stories. You’re part of this mission too.
