Two brothers. Two wild stories. One Savior. Alex and Eddie Valdivia grew up between Mexico and the U.S., chasing identity in all the wrong places - fights, anger, atheism, astrology, even cholo culture. Both found themselves restless, searching, and far from God. In this episode Pastor Mike sits down with Alex and Eddie to share the unfiltered journey of how Jesus broke through their confusion, doubts, and destructive choices to give them new life. Their stories aren’t polished - they’re messy, and yet extremely full of grace. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, felt like you didn’t belong, or wondered if God could actually change someone like you, this conversation will hit home.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The structural elements of a spiritual story: The back then, the but then, and the and now.

• Alex's identity shift from displaced youth to adopting the "cholo" blueprint and embracing atheism.

• Eddie's pursuit of wisdom through trendy mystical beliefs like the Law of Attraction and astrology.

• The chaotic conversion process, which began with alcohol, weed, and seeking God's wisdom.

• How modern philosophies borrowed knowledge from the Bible without giving God credit.

• The profound freedom found in Romans 5:8 (While we were still sinners, Christ died for us), even while still struggling with past sins.

• Advice on sharing faith with skeptical friends, just like these two were!
