The Testimony of Carlos Mercado

Is salvation found in religion? Or is it found in a person?

Carlos Mercado grew up in the Catholic Church, but faith always felt more like a ritual than a relationship. Religion was something he was familiar with, but he never truly bought into it. That all changed when he met his wife, Nicole.

As they started attending church together, Carlos was introduced to the truth of the gospel. He realized that salvation isn’t about following religious traditions—it’s about knowing Jesus. His journey led him to be baptized, and today, he is passionate about serving God, raising his children in the faith, and honoring Christ through his HVAC and plumbing business.

In This Episode:

✔️ Carlos' childhood experience with religion and why it never felt personal

✔️ The turning point when he encountered Jesus and gave his life to Him

✔️ How baptism marked a new chapter in his faith

✔️ His commitment to raising his children to know and love God

✔️ Using his business as a way to honor Christ

Carlos’ story is a powerful reminder that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved—only Jesus (Acts 4:12). If you’ve ever felt like you were going through the motions of faith but longed for something more, this testimony will encourage you.
