In this episode, George sits down with Ben Arellano and Saso Mendez — co-hosts of the Abundant Life Podcast — to reflect on God’s sovereign work in friendship, evangelism, and discipleship. What began as two men growing in Christ has grown into a ministry that reaches across the globe, not for their glory, but for the glory of the One who saves.

They share powerful testimonies of God’s grace:
How job loss, brokenness, and desperation became the soil for salvation.
How Freedom That Lasts ministry is seeing God break the chains of addiction and sin.
How everyday vocations, like software development and management, are redeemed as fields for Gospel work.
How God’s providence brought them together to launch a podcast that challenges and encourages believers toward spiritual growth.
