"Did you know that each one of us is on a Journey with God? Today, Pastor Ysrael De La Cruz, affectionately known as "Pappo," shares his inspiring journey, emphasizing faith, ministry's transformative power, authentic biblical teaching, and spiritual growth."
Pastor Ysrael De La Cruz, affectionately known as Pappo, shares a compelling journey from his early days in the Dominican Republic to becoming a pastor on Staten Island. Growing up in a pastor's family, Pappo embraced Christianity at the tender age of 12 and embarked on a path that would lead him through academic pursuits in Illinois and impactful ministry work across the United States. Listeners will gain insights into Pappo's experiences with church planting, the significance of returning to Bible essentials, and the profound influence of his supportive wife throughout his spiritual journey.
Our conversation delves into the transformative power of ministry work and its ability to change lives. Pappo recounts heartfelt stories, including a powerful prison event where a play about Joseph inspired inmates to embrace faith, illustrating the profound impact of artistic expression in ministry. Plays like Genesis 'JOE' serve as a testament to the eternal impact ministry has on both the audience and those involved, reminding us of the spiritual growth that stems from authentic engagements with the Word.
We also explore the importance of sound biblical teaching in fostering a genuine connection with Jesus. As modern distractions threaten to dilute the essence of faith, Pastor Pappo emphasizes the necessity of returning to the basics of the Bible to combat superficial teachings. This episode serves as an encouragement to listeners to seek out Bible-believing churches that prioritize Jesus, nurturing communities of mature and seasoned disciples grounded in their convictions. Join us for an enriching episode that challenges and inspires spiritual growth.
