Faith and Fire with Juan Carlos Padilla
Faith and Fire The Making of Who I am
Before the firefights, before the battlefield prayers, there was a young man shaped by faith, family, and a call to serve something greater than himself. In this powerful origin story, host Juan Carlos Padilla shares how his upbringing, his early relationship with God, and his decision to join the Army prepared him—often unknowingly—for the battles ahead.
Through discipline, brotherhood, and unseen grace, God was forging a warrior heart long before the bullets flew.
