The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things helped for and the evidence of things not seen. But how do we put that into action and walk by faith? Today's guest, Pastor Paul Ybarra shares his powerful testimony of walking by faith during the midst of a pandemic and landing exactly where God needs Him to be.
Paul and his wife Hollie Ybarra are the founders of Set Free Life Church. Paul is an extraordinary Pastor, carpenter, and father. Hollie works for corporate America and loves to garden, cook and spend time with her pups.
Paul and Hollie have been strongly united in marriage since 2011. Their joy radiates out of them the moment they walk through the door.
They are full of energy, visionaries, movers, and shakers.
After being delivered from drugs and alcohol in 2001, Paul has had a heart and passion to see the community be SetFree. Throughout the years of ministry, this dynamic couple has not only taught the importance of leaving addiction behind but the importance of confronting life's issues such as anger, bitterness, depression, anxiety, and suicide, in order to overcome, release, and be equipped to become the leader God has destined them to be. Together they have such a dynamic that is not only able to equip but also help launch others into their ministries and calling.
