🎙️ Hello and welcome!
My name is Angel Santana Jr., and I'm the host of Have Faith Let It Begin®, a daily podcast dedicated to faith, hope, encouragement, and authentic conversations.
My faith journey began on January 17, 2000, when I asked God to come into my heart. Looking back, I can honestly say that decision changed the course of my life. Since then, I've felt called to serve others, share God's love, and encourage people through life's victories, challenges, and everything in between.
I am blessed to be married and the proud father of two amazing children. My daughter was born in November 2018, and my son arrived in January 2022. Being a husband and father has taught me some of life's greatest lessons about love, patience, faith, and responsibility.
Today, I serve as an Elder in my church and am a Pastor-in-Training at Western Theological Seminary. My studies and ministry experiences continue to deepen my understanding of God's calling and strengthen my desire to serve others with humility, compassion, and grace.
One of the values I try to live by is simple: life is too short for anything less than respect, kindness, and joy. Don't let anyone steal your joy. No matter what challenges come your way, remember that joy is a gift from God that no one can take from you unless you surrender it.
I also believe in something that has guided me throughout my life:
"If you're right but rude, you're still wrong."
Truth matters, but how we treat people matters too. We can stand firm in our beliefs while still extending kindness, respect, and love to those around us.
Through Have Faith Let It Begin®, my goal is simple: to encourage people, share meaningful conversations, highlight inspiring stories, and remind listeners that they never have to walk through life alone. Whether you're joining us during a season of celebration or struggle, I hope you find something here that strengthens your faith and encourages your heart.
If you'd like to learn more about my personal testimony, I invite you to listen to a recent series
The Final Round: The Champion's Peace Part 5
The bell rings on the last round — you’re bruised, exhausted, but still standing. In this closing episode, I share with you the walk you take through the moment when the fight changes: not louder or harder, but steadier.
Listen as he pulls you into a quiet, powerful narrative about breathing through the chaos, releasing the pressure you never needed to carry, and choosing trust over control. This is a story of resilience that finds victory not in every win, but in the peace that stays with you when you stop proving and start believing.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
May God bless you, encourage you, and remind you each day that every new morning is an opportunity to Have Faith and Let It Begin®.
