In this episode, we speak with Julio Soto, a dear friend from Puerto Rico. Julio and I met during the pandemic virtually via Zoom gatherings. First through In His Grip Golf Ministries, then the Rise and Grind community. Quickly Julio's selfless passion for helping people attracted and inspired me. You know, we are on our journey and God puts others on our path for HIS reasons and then gives us the opportunity to link and grow together. Wow, what amazing growth I have experienced by being around Julio Soto for three short years. In the Fall of 2022, we had the opportunity to visit and share a meal together in our Atlanta home. Such a pleasure to know someone in the digital world then to meet them in person. An added joy was meeting his wife Nancy, daughter Karla and family friend Nancy as well.
Julio chose the word IMPULSE to unpack. Before researching IMPULSE, my mind immediately went to IMPULSIVE. I questioned why this would be the word for a man who is so intentional in his actions and completely focused on finding and doing God's will in his life. Upon further research, I found meaning in the following definition:
IMPULSE: a driving force or impetus. Next I researched impetus, a "force that makes something happen".
Julio shares his personal "driving force or impetus" actual two pivotal moments. Below is his version of IMPULSE that ignites Julio. As we wrap up the episode, we offer our version of IMPULSE as I have watched Julio on his faith JOurneY. Honored to call Julio friend and brother in Christ.

For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the IMPULSE of their hearts.

Bruce's version of IMPULSE for Julio. Another way IMPULSE appeared to me is I'm pulse. (keeping the pulse of that driving force moving just like the heartbeat and pulse keeps us alive)
IMPULSE
Intention without tension
Movement with a mission
Progression with a purpose
Unwavering and uplifted
Led by Love for the Lord
Sharing HIM as the way
Embracing the call to action
