2026-03-1508 minRev Leon's PodcastChoosing Faith in an Era of FEARA dear soul, Vincent Filardi, understood this. It is sad to think of life without Vincent, as he passed away last year.

He knew people needed to be reminded that what feels real is not always what is real, and he was right.God bless,Rev Leon

2026-02-1826 minRev Leon's PodcastWith Whom I Am Well PleasedWhat parent would deny or turn a blind eye to the behavior of a child with whom they are well pleased?

We see the halls of power in the United States often serving the personality of...
