Paco was the definition of a man with spiritual leadership in his family and community. He looked out for so many people and was intentional about being the light of Christ to many. The words, "Paco was a Saint" was spoken multiple times over this past weekend at this funeral and celebration of life. It was incredible to hear so many people share their hearts about what kind of man he was. The strength of the Alicea family will always inspire me to love the Lord deeper and I'm grateful to be a part of their family through my brotherhood with Armani. I hope you enjoy this for all my new listeners and if you already heard it tune in again to catch the gems you missed. You will learn something about Christ, Family, and Faith through the life of COLONEL FRANCISCO "PACO" ALICEA, JR. Please subscribe to our youtube and check out the video interview with him there as well. I also posted a clip reflecting on Armani's one-year anniversary that was recorded back in October 2021.  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ WE HAVE A SPONSOR! Mcalvany ICA!

"Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." Jesus said this in Luke 14:27 and to be honest ya boy has been falling short of the Glory of God in a few ways in this last little stretch of life. We identify the sin, the spiritual war, and the significance of this past weekend in Florida. I fell into temptation and struggled to control my emotions in a Christlike way and I'm here to tell you about it. I hope it encourages you and lifts you up and let it be a reminder of how much we need to surrender our cross every day and run after Jesus.  Powerful episode, good laughs, and talking about the truth.  WE HAVE A SPONSOR!

Join me today as we honor the gold standard of men. Paco Alicea was a spiritual leader in his family and the lives he touched. We share his life and give some scriptures that give us peace of mind about where he is now.  We reflect on loss, God's plan, and the comfort He brings in times of hurt. We also discuss the wickedness going on in our culture and how Christ is the only cure. Also, what do you think about the disciple Thomas? A man of doubt or a man willing to die for Christ? John 11:16 is the verse where Thomas says what many have never said. Tune in now to hear this powerful episode. Please share it when finished :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃: 📸 Zach’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachrippey23/ 🌳 Donate to I Like Birds: https://www.ilikebirdsministry.com ✉️ Email Me: ZachRippey@yahoo.com ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #ILikeBirdsPodcast 🕊 💙 🙏 WE HAVE A SPONSOR!

My fellow Birds this is a unique episode. I wrote one of my final papers about this book and I felt led to share it with you. We unpack the book and the truths N.T Wright lays out for us and I add some commentary on what it means. We discuss: Justice, righteousness, beauty, truth, creator, spirituality, families, comedy, tragedy, human failure, the echo of a voice and so much more. An episode you will be unsure about clicking on but once you do you will be glad you did.  It’s been said, that the goal of all human endeavors is ‘to be happy at home.’ His teaching on this is impeccable and worth hearing about. Tune in now and don't forget to check out our sponsor below and share the show with someone new today!

I sit in a parking lot after The Destiny Leaders Conference and reflect on the last few days I just had. All the pastors who spoke gave great words about soul care and how to operate in the life of ministry. I learned so much and rubbed shoulders with such great men and woman in the body of Christ. I break down the last two years that I experienced to get to this moment and let’s just say GOD has been with me every step of the way. I’m proud of myself, yet I praise Him! I don’t do this for you to hear about “me” but so you can hear about “He”. Tune in and enjoy the impromptu episode 🕊 be on the lookout for next weeks episode called “Simply Christian”

My birds you're going to love this one..... is fiercely emotional in every direction. Let us never stop working for the kingdom of God. I rant for 13 minutes about the allusion of the world we are living in and the financial crisis that could come if the debt market explodes and then we get into a powerful message about how unique our faith is being in between the cross and the comeback of Christ! My rant ties together beautifully with the message. God touches us in the micro so that we can fulfill the purpose God has for the macro (His Kingdom). One of my best episodes and excuse the tears on my Noah story but it will lead you into a direction of surrendering your life to Christ even more so. Please share this episode as well as this blog post if you haven't yet. https://ilikebirdsministry.com/bird-blog/help-me-spend-more-time-with-you-lord GOSH I LOVE THIS EPISODE! HAHA I recorded this one and last weeks all in one day and let's just say it was an incredible spirit filled day! Much love everyone! Thank you for sticking with me through all these months of truth bombs and bold declerations on the current world we are forced to live in right now. We are in a biblical era of time, it feels like and the battle is happening right now of good vs evil and I know my birds gonna be on the right side when Christ comes down on those clouds to lift us up! OH AND IF YOU WIN THE SUPERBOWL AND GIVE GLORY TO GOD ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.... MAKE SURE YOU SAY HIS SON's NAME! The Way, The Truth, and The Life! Give these people the name of your GOD!
