Hey familia and friends of Christian Podcast,Just a few days out from the nationwide release of I Can Only Imagine 2 (February 20, 2026—in theaters everywhere!), and we’re still buzzing from our recent conversation with director Brent McCorkle. What started as a dream interview about the movie turned into something much deeper: a raw, Spirit-filled talk about pain, gratitude, fatherhood, healing trauma, and holding onto God’s peace even when the fire rages and the prayers are

When Two Halftime Shows Collide – One in Spanish, One in Patriotism Friends, we sat down as Christians, as Latinos, as husband and wife, to watch both  Super Bowl halftime moments this year. One was the official Apple Music Halftime Show headlined by Bad Bunny – the first mostly-in-Spanish performance in Super Bowl history, packed with Puerto Rican pride, sugarcane fields, rooftop parties, a real wedding, surprise guests like Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, and bold statements ab

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. If you follow us on the podcast or on socials, you know we love diving into the stuff that stings a little, makes us think hard, and sometimes gets us in hot water. 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

A Movie That Hits Close to Home: What “I Was a Stranger” Teaches Us About Compassion, Hope, and Loving Our Neighbor in a Broken World Hey family! Beto here, with Mili right beside me. We just walked out of the theater after seeing I Was a Stranger from Angel Studios (wide release January 9, 2026), and honestly… our hearts are still racing. This film isn’t light or easy—it’s raw, intense, and deeply moving. But it left us inspired, challenged, and ready to take real steps in o

At its

Hey family, what’s up? It’s Beto and Mili here from ChristianPodcast.com, and man, we are still buzzing from one of the most faith-stirring conversations we’ve ever had on the show. In a world that tries to explain everything away with science, logic, or just plain doubt, believing in miracles can feel like swimming upstream. But bro, let us tell you—miracles are not just Bible stories. They’re happening right now, today, in real people’s lives. And if your faith has ever fel

Hey family, what’s up?! It’s Beto and Mili here from Christian Podcast™. Wow… we just wrapped one of those episodes that leaves you sitting in silence afterward, chills all over, asking God, “Lord, search my heart right now.” We sat down with our brother Ryan Holladay (yep, the one we hiked Half Dome with—shoutout to that epic day in Yosemite!) and… let’s just say the Holy Spirit showed up in the studio. If you haven’t listened yet, stop reading and go hit play. Seriously. Bu

Hey family, it’s Beto & Mili, still on a Holy-Spirit high after recording what might be the wildest, most anointed episode we’ve ever dropped. Joshua David James came through the studio and literally turned the place into a deliverance room, a school of the Spirit, and a family living room all at once. If you haven’t listened yet… go do it now. We’ll be here when you get back, probably still crying and shouting.Here ’s the full breakdown, with all the meat on the bones. From

ChristianPodcast.com – Where Faith Meets Real Life Hey family! If you’re like us, Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ isn’t just a movie—it’s a gut-punch that leaves you speechless. That 2004 masterpiece, with Jim Caviezel bleeding on the cross, raked in over $612 million and made us question everything. Buckle up, because the sequel—titled The Resurrection of the Christ—is officially rolling, and it’s got a bombshell: Jim Caviezel is OUT as Jesus! Why? Because at 57, he’

Hey friends! Welcome to Christian Podcast™! Movies do more than entertain—they weave stories that can reveal God’s truth if we watch with discernment.

Mili and I love digging into culture with an open mind, and we were captivated by their approach to finding faith in films. It’s a conversation that
