Life gets busy, stress creeps in, and before we know it, we’re caught up in the rush—worrying about the next thing on our to-do list. But what if we paused for just a moment? What if, instead of letting worry take over, we chose to look for the little reminders of God’s presence all around us?
In this episode, I’m sharing how slowing down and noticing the beauty in nature—whether it’s the towering mountains, a tiny wildflower, or even the way sunlight filters through the clouds—has helped me feel closer to God. We’ll talk about why nothing is too big or too small to bring to Him, why even the smallest moments matter, and how shifting your focus can bring a sense of peace and joy to your day.
So grab your favorite drink, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
