","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4058,"description":"Fausto is a young man who embodies the principle of making the effort. He lives with intentionality — choosing every day to show up, serve others, and grow into the person God designed him to be. He understands that true freedom begins when we “let go of the leash” — the need to control, to hold onto pride, or to live by fear. In letting go, he makes space for faith to lead. His life is marked by compassion and awareness — always making a difference for that one, always looking for those whom God places in his path. When he says, “I see you,” he means it. His presence reminds people they are known, valued, and loved.Fausto lives with the conviction that mentoring never ends — it simply evolves. As the seasons of life change, so do the questions. He sees mentorship not as a duty, but as a calling — to guide others in discovering who they are, who God says they are, and who God has called them to be. Through his own journey, he’s learned that pride is the silent killer of relationships. To love deeply is to surrender the self, to listen more than you speak, and to forgive more than you’re comfortable with.Life has taught Fausto to run the race with endurance and humility, to check the bag and stop carrying the luggage that no longer serves God’s purpose. Forgiveness is the key — the choice between whether one walks in peace or drinks the poison of unforgiveness. His life mirrors the truth of Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.” In that stillness, Fausto has found clarity, courage, and the calm strength to live his calling. Stop by The REC out in Keizer and say hi to Fausto! #Jesusfollower #disciple #servanthood #conversationswithbuddy_ _ _For more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckettIf you or someone you know want to be on the podcast, please reach out to me on Instagram @conversationswithbuddy or text me at 503-851-8031. _ _ _About Buddy Puckett:Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oxFqe0AJP5S7qrhkdAltuVa8mFSqDbYbj8eGzi5h_mM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyODkxLzE2NjAw/OTQ2NDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
