They said, “You’ll be fat just like me.” But what they were really saying was, “I gave up — and I want you to give up too.” In this powerful episode we exposes the curse of low expectations that’s been passed down from man to man — and shows how to break it through discipline, faith, and the fire of God’s Word. From rock bottom to Ironman finish lines, Ruben’s journey proves that true strength isn’t built in comfort — it’s forged in consistency, stewardship, and surrender to Christ. This episode will challenge you, convict you, and call you to rise up as the man God designed you to be. 💪🔥✝️

What if science didn’t disprove God—but instead whispered His name? In this episode of Gathering Strength, Ruben Cuevas takes you on a journey from the birth of the universe to the beating heart of human purpose. We’ll explore what it means to live in a temporally finite universe—a creation with a beginning, designed with intention. Using Scripture, philosophy, and down-to-earth storytelling, Ruben connects the cosmic clock of creation to the everyday struggles of work, faith, and family. This episode reminds us that though time will one day stop, our purpose in Christ is eternal.

🎙️ Tune in to discover how science, reason, and faith converge to reveal not chaos—but divine order.
