","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. \nHis 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.\n\nFausto 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.\nLife 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. \nForgiveness is the key — the choice between whether one walks in peace or drinks the poison of unforgiveness. \nHis 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. \n\nStop by The REC out in Keizer and say hi to Fausto!\n#Jesusfollower #disciple #servanthood\n#conversationswithbuddy\n_ _ _\nFor more stories like this, go to: https://www.youtube.com/@BuddyJamesPuckett\nIf 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. \n_ _ _\nAbout Buddy Puckett:\nBuddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and...","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}
