February 2026Hey friends,Sometimes the biggest "God moments" start with the smallest steps—like a conversation over coffee, a mountain hike that changes everything, or a pastor casually saying, "Hey, we have extra rooms if you ever need space." That's exactly how our story at Christian Podcast Studios new location began. In our latest episode, we sat down with Pastor Justin Chandler right here in the studio at Harbor Trinity Church in Costa Mesa. What unfolded was a beautifu

The shifting landscape of Christian missions  is one of the most exciting—and sometimes unsettling—realities facing the church today. In a recent episode of the Christian Podcast , hosts Beto  and Mili  sat down with Pastor Ric Olsen  from The Beacon  (a network of house churches in Orange, Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Temecula, part of the North American Baptist Conference) for a raw, Spirit-led conversation. They unpacked how missions are evolving from Western-dominated efforts

Hey familia! Mili and I are still riding the high from last weekend at **Redemption Church** in Costa Mesa. It was our very first time sharing together in a church — and in English! About 150 people filled the room, many of them already dear friends from prayer groups, Westside taco nights, and everyday life here in Costa Mesa. They invited us to speak into their year-long theme, “Draw Near: A Year of Radical Presence,” and asked us to lean into the Beatitudes — especially “B

Hey family, what’s up with that church interruption? My comment on Allie Beth Stuckey’s video and the firestorm it startedBeto here, with Mili right by my side like always, ready to have a real, heart-to-heart talk.

Well, this time I stepped right into it—and wow, did the comments come flying. The Incident That St

Hey family, at Christian Podcast we’re always tuned in to the questions people are actually asking online. “Is the evangelical church in the U.S. dying?” “Is there a real revival going on, or is it all hype?” “Are evangelicals just the new Pharisees—more focused on rules and power than on grace?” These questions hit deep because so many of us have felt that tension: we see churches closing (around 4,000 in 2024 according to Lifeway Research, still outpacing new plants in many

Hey family! It's Beto here, with Mili right by my side, as always, sitting at the table sharing from the heart. Today we want to talk openly about something that's blowing up online: the baptism of Lily Phillips, the OnlyFans creator famous for extreme challenges, who recently posted a video of her getting baptized and talking about "reconnecting with God." First things first, let's be crystal clear: we're not here to throw stones or condemn anyone. We've all had dark chapt

An honest reflection from Beto and Mili of the Cristian Podcast Latino—because we're all fallible, but Jesus' grace never is. The Moment That Shook Us Picture this: The author who helped you grasp grace when life hurt the most—books like What's So Amazing About Grace?, Where Is God When It Hurts?, and The Jesus I Never Knew—confesses to an eight-year extramarital affair with a married woman. At 76, married to Janet for 55 years, Philip Yancey steps away from all ministry: no

If you haven’t listened yet, stop reading and go hit play. Seriously. Bu
