In this raw, unscripted conversation, Ed opens his heart and steps into the kind of honesty most people never say out loud. This episode dives straight into the valleys of faith — the seasons where you’re not angry, not doubting God’s existence… just trying to understand why the road feels so long, so heavy, and so lonely.

Ed reflects on what it truly means to walk with God when nothing makes sense, when obedience hurts, and when the calling requires more courage than you thought you had. From Hebrews 11 to the stories of David, Joseph, Moses, and Joshua, he unpacks the truth that even God’s greatest warriors were afraid — yet they moved anyway.

This episode wrestles with the real questions:

What is God doing? Why does it feel like everything is falling apart? Am I being prepared or punished? Is my faith enough? And why does becoming who God called me to be feel so uncomfortable?

Through personal reflection, prayer, and unfiltered vulnerability, Ed reminds listeners that faith isn’t a performance — it’s a journey. A journey that breaks you, rebuilds you, and reveals who you really are in Christ. A journey where God’s silence doesn’t equal His absence. A journey where courage is simply moving forward while scared.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, heartbreak, transition, pruning, or spiritual battle… this episode will sit with you in the struggle and point you back to the God who never leaves.

This isn’t a polished message. It’s a lifeline.

Welcome to a different kind of episode — honest, heavy, and full of hope.

Shame has a way of driving us into hiding. It tells us we’re not good enough—for our families, our friends, or even for God. It whispers old lies from childhood, resurrects past failures, and convinces us our future is already ruined. But that voice isn’t truth. It's a shadow. And today, we’re stepping out of it.

In this episode, we break down what shame really is—emotionally, spiritually, and even neurologically. We explore how the heart processes safety long before the brain does, why trauma disconnects the two, and why fun, joy, and new experiences are actually biblical medicine for a wounded inner world.

You’ll hear how perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, rage, and addiction become survival strategies… and how we can rewire our inner landscape to stop running and start healing. We talk about regrets, past labels, the lies families speak over us, and the subtle ways shame builds its home in the human heart.

Then we step into the story of the prodigal son—a picture of shame colliding with the overwhelming compassion of a Father who runs toward His child instead of away. A Father who restores, clothes, celebrates, and calls you “mine” even when you feel unworthy.

This episode is an invitation to:

• stop reliving the past
• stop predicting disaster in the future
• return to the present moment
• and let God rebuild you from the inside out

Shame wants to keep you in the shadows. God wants to give you a new identity—one rooted in love, worth, and truth. And it all begins with letting the heart heal so the mind can follow.

If you’ve ever felt not enough… this one is for you.

Welcome to The Ed Fernandez Show—where honesty meets healing, faith meets neuroscience, and the shadows lose their power.

Tune in, be encouraged, and step into the light. You are the best part of this show.

In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed sits down and reveals the moment everything changed for the podcast. What started as a simple vision of showing the world that you can love Jesus and still enjoy the blessings of this life shifted dramatically the day his daughter came on the show — and a longtime employee walked out mid-episode. That moment exposed something bigger: this wasn’t going to be a show about possessions and faith. It was going to be a direct confrontation with the kingdom of darkness.

Ed opens up about the season where all hell broke loose, how he stepped into spiritual warfare without wisdom, and how that lack of discernment left him vulnerable. He talks candidly about frustration turning into compromise, compromise turning into iniquity, and how the real danger wasn’t the sin itself, but the ignorance that allowed darkness to remain unchallenged.

He explains what Scripture teaches about the enemy’s access to darkness, how unguarded parts of the heart become open doors, and why discernment—real, Holy-Spirit-led discernment—is often the gut feeling believers ignore. Ed breaks down the importance of understanding the battlefield of the mind, why Jesus was crucified at “the place of the skull,” and why renewing your mind is the starting point of every spiritual victory.

He walks through how Satan sifted Peter, why pride and resentment create legal access for the enemy, and how even justified anger can become a foothold if left unattended. Ed also unpacks the danger of holding bitterness in the heart, the spiritual consequences of going to bed angry, and why purity of heart is essential if you’re going to walk in authority.

The episode closes with a powerful prayer of repentance, release, and surrender—an invitation to shut every open door, expose every dark corner, and allow God to purify the heart so He can move freely in your life.

If you’ve ever felt attacked, overwhelmed, or blindsided in your walk with God, this episode speaks directly to you. It’s a clear, unfiltered call to fight with wisdom, think with clarity, and guard the territory of your mind and heart.

In today’s episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we tackle a topic every believer feels but rarely talks about honestly: faith and finances. Money isn’t just math — it’s spiritual, and Scripture makes that painfully clear. Jesus said you can’t serve both God and mammon, and in this episode, we break down exactly what that means and how the enemy uses financial fear, pressure, and disorder to silence your faith.

Ed walks through the difference between budgeting and battling, why stewardship is warfare, and how tithing, contentment, generosity, and prayer realign your heart back under God’s authority. You’ll hear practical truth about living below your means without shame, breaking free from debt culture, giving without guilt, and recognizing that everything you have is on loan from heaven.

This episode will challenge you to audit your heart, confront spiritual patterns around money, and see your finances as part of your calling — not a chain around your ankles. When your money starts serving your mission, everything shifts.

If you’re in a financial battle or know someone who is, this message is for you.

In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we return to the foundation of the Christian life: the baseline. Not trends, not hype, not personalities—just Jesus.

1 Corinthians 3:11 says He’s the beginning, the center, and the end. And Matthew 22:37–39 gives us the simple core of the faith: love God, love people.

Ed breaks down how easy it is to drift when culture pulls us off course and how emotional moments can feel spiritual without producing maturity. He explains the difference between consuming the Word and actually obeying it (James 1:22) and why obedience, consistency, and humility are the real markers of spiritual strength.

This episode dives into:

• How to recognize when you’ve drifted from your baseline
• Why stability is spiritual warfare
• How the Word becomes “software” for your heart
• The danger of replacing principles with personality
• Why community matters more than isolation
• How obedience sharpens your hearing of God
• What it means to return to your first love (Revelation 2:4–5)

Ed also gets practical: pray again, read again, forgive again, show up again. Real alignment starts in the small things, and God honors obedience far more than performance.

If you’ve felt distant, distracted, or spiritually dull, this episode is your call back to the simple, powerful practices that anchored you in the first place.

Thank you for watching The Ed Fernandez Show. Stay committed, stay consistent, and keep growing.

This week on The Ed Fernandez Show, we revisit the journey toward a “victorious mind” by confronting one of the most volatile forces shaping our daily decisions: our emotions. Ed breaks down the difference between having emotions and being ruled by them—two extremes that can either harden the heart or hijack your credibility. Through scripture like 2 Corinthians 5:16, he shows how our deeply rooted core beliefs—those internal “strongholds”—filter how we interpret the world, ourselves, and even the voice of God. From growing up surrounded by poverty and violence to entering adulthood with limiting beliefs about intelligence and calling, Ed reveals how emotional “static” blinds us to truth and locks us into false identities.

Ed unpacks the neuroscience of emotional imprinting, the spiritual reality of atmosphere, and why creating positive strongholds matters for every believer. He shares the surprising stories behind racing his first Radical car, skydiving, and learning to build a “happy brain” that disrupts victimhood and fuels joy, courage, and faith. The challenge is simple: do something that shocks your system back to life—something fun, something new, something that rewrites the scripts your past tried to impose. Because when your mind and emotions align with Christ, confidence rises, relationships heal, and the joy of the Lord becomes a force that spills into everything you touch. Tune in and learn how to take back your mind, steward your emotions, and become truly effective for the Kingdom of God.

In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we confront the battlefield that determines every victory or defeat in life: the mind. Many believers know where they are going when this life ends, yet struggle deeply with what to do, how to think, and who they truly are while they are still here on earth. Victory is not accidental. It requires a victorious mindset anchored in the truth of God, not in the emotions, trauma, or subconscious patterns that try to speak louder than Scripture.

Ed exposes the hidden “iceberg” beneath our thoughts, revealing how subconscious beliefs shape our identity, reactions, emotions, relationships, and destiny. Through the Word of God, he explains the difference between negative strongholds and God-ordained strongholds, and teaches how to pull down destructive beliefs, take every thought captive, and build a fortified mental life rooted in truth and spiritual authority. Identity in Christ is not a theory; it is a battlefield discipline.

You will learn how to recognize spiritual deception in your thinking, break cycles of depression, rejection, and hopelessness, and construct a biblical mindset where joy, peace, love, endurance, and boldness become your default setting. This episode walks through Scripture-based identity declarations, neuro-renewal through repetition and emotional imprinting, and the spiritual power of aligning your inner dialogue with Heaven. You are not fighting to become a conqueror. Through Christ, you are fighting from victory.

If you are tired of shadowboxing with your emotions, if you are ready to stop fixing the “old you” and start walking in the new creation God already declared you to be, lean in. This is spiritual warfare for the mind, and it is time for you to reclaim the territory of your thoughts, your identity, and your life.

Welcome to the training ground of champions. Welcome to the victorious life.

Let the renewing begin.

In this episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, we dive deep into what it truly means to be still when life feels impossible to fix. Maybe you’ve tried every solution — prayed every prayer, worked multiple jobs, or fought to save something that’s falling apart — and it still feels like nothing’s changing. Ed walks through the story of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea to show that stillness isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about trusting everything to God. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is stop trying to fight what only God can win.

Through powerful storytelling and Scripture, Ed reveals how “holding your peace” means stepping out of the way so God can move. You’ll learn how stillness builds faith, why peace is your greatest weapon, and how God often works behind the scenes while you rest in Him. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, this message will remind you that your breakthrough isn’t found in striving — it’s found in surrender.
