Empowered for a Purpose | Empowered | Pastor Broderick Santiago

Welcome to “Empowered for a Purpose” with Pastor B—an episode designed to ignite your faith and deepen your connection with Christ through the living message of Acts. Join us as we uncover how genuine community, the simplicity of baptism, and the power of the Spirit combine to transform ordinary lives into testimonies of grace.

Pastor B begins by reminding us that baptism is accessible to everyone—no special attire or elaborate ceremony required. It’s a step of faith wrapped in simplicity, yet marked by eternal significance. From there, we celebrate victories both large and small: Andrew Omosu’s soccer milestones become a springboard for understanding how our personal journeys weave into the life of the church family.

Next, Pastor B illuminates the biblical meaning of the number 40—a time of cleansing, preparation, and rebirth. Drawing on stories from Moses’s desert sojourn to Jesus’s time in the wilderness, we see how seasons of challenge prepare us to embrace God’s best for our lives.

Turning to the Book of Acts, we honor Theophilus and all early believers who carried forward Jesus’s final commission: to proclaim the gospel boldly. Pastor B challenges us to live this calling in our day—to speak of Christ with confidence and to extend his love without hesitation.

In a moving firsthand account, Pastor B shares how an ordinary flight became the setting for an extraordinary witness. An impromptu conversation with a pilot led to a heartfelt invitation to faith—and a new brother in Christ. This story underscores that every moment holds the potential for God to work through us.

We close with a stirring appeal: whether you’ve never made a public commitment or you’re seeking renewal, now is the time to step forward. Embrace the Spirit’s power, commit your life fully to Jesus, and watch how he transforms your story.

“Empowered for a Purpose” isn’t just a message—it’s an active call to live out your faith with courage and joy. Be encouraged. Be strengthened. Be empowered—and if this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend who needs to hear this life-changing word.
