What If the Unexpected Is Actually Good?

What if the unexpected moments in your life are actually part of something bigger? đź‘€

In this episode, we talk about John the Baptist — a man who literally knew Jesus personally — yet still had doubts when life didn’t go as he expected. Maybe you’ve been there too… wondering why things aren’t turning out how you thought they would.

Jesus’ answer to John wasn’t a “yes” or “no.” It was something deeper — an invitation to trust even when it doesn’t make sense.

🎧 Join Fernanda, Marlon, José, and Julia as they dive into Matthew 11:2–6 and discover how God often works in the most unexpected ways.

If you’ve ever doubted, questioned, or thought faith was too complicated — this episode might surprise you. 🙏

👇 Watch now and see how the unexpected could be the start of something eternal.
