Christmas is more than a baby in a manger, it’s the beginning of God’s rescue mission. In this special Christmas devotional, Omar reflects on the birth of Jesus and the meaning behind His name: Jesus - Yeshua - Yahweh saves. Before the miracles, the sermons, or the cross, His mission was clear: to save His people from their sins.

This message points us back to the heart of Christmas, God stepping into human history, becoming Immanuel, God with us, to bring hope, forgiveness, and new life. As you celebrate, be reminded that sin has an answer, hope has a name, and His name is Jesus.

Merry Christmas from From Wrong to Strong Ministries.

In this powerful episode of From Wrong to Strong, Julio Aviles shares his raw journey from addiction, brokenness, and a marriage on the brink, into a life transformed by the grace of God.

At his lowest point, everything seemed to be falling apart. Then, in an unexpected moment, God used something ordinary - a radio, to interrupt his path and call him back. What followed was a deep confrontation with truth, surrender, and the beginning of real freedom.

This conversation explores addiction, spiritual warfare, marriage restoration, and what happens when God steps into the middle of our mess. It’s a testimony of hope for anyone who feels stuck, lost, or convinced it’s too late for change.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can still speak, still heal, and still redeem -this story is for you.

In this From Wrong to Strong – 2-Minute Devotional, Salvador Torres shares a powerful reminder from Romans 12:1: our bodies are meant to be living sacrifices. Physical discipline, stewardship, and obedience are not about perfection, they’re acts of worship. What we do with our bodies reflects who we live for.

From Water Ski Champion to Prison Ministry Trailblazer (w/ Kristi Overton Johnson)

What happens when God takes someone from a world stage… and calls them behind prison walls?

In this powerful episode, Omar sits down with Kristi Overton Johnson—former world-class water ski champion (80+ pro titles) and founder of Victorious Living Magazine / Victorious Living Ministries, to hear the God-story that changed everything.

Kristi shares about a supernatural moment of calling, the “HIT IT” message God gave her for men and women behind bars, and how simple obedience opened doors she could’ve never planned: from a magazine landing in the hands of the Florida Department of Corrections to being invited into prisons across the country.

Together, we talk about:

• Why prison ministry transforms both the inside and outside
• How trauma shapes lives - and how Jesus redeems what pain tried to ruin
• The importance of showing up consistently, listening, and loving people well
• Balancing passion for ministry with being present with Jesus
• How Kristi connected with JC Almanza and why unity in ministry matters

We close with a strong word of hope and a prayer for anyone who feels like they’ve “missed it” - because in Christ, it’s not over.

In this two-minute devotional, Omar Calvillo breaks down 1 Kings 3:7 and the heart posture that made Solomon a leader God could trust. Before asking for wisdom, Solomon begins with who God is, acknowledges who placed him in his position, and admits his dependence on the Lord.

This short teaching reminds us that true leadership starts with humility, surrender, and a teachable spirit.
LORD, make us servants You can trust.

In today’s From Wrong to Strong Two-Minute Devotional, Cisco Terrazas reminds us of one of the most powerful truths Jesus ever declared:

“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.” — John 14:6

Jesus isn’t one of many paths—He is the path.
He is the bridge to the Father, the embodiment of truth, and the giver of real, abundant life.

In this short devotional, Cisco breaks down what Jesus meant when He said:

• “I Am the Way” - Only Christ can reconcile us to God.
• “I Am the Truth” - Every promise of God finds its fulfillment in Him.
• “I Am the Life” - He gives eternal life and fullness, joy, and purpose here on earth.

We are also reminded of Acts 4:12:
“Salvation is found in no one else.”

If you’re searching for direction, clarity, or meaning, this devotional points you to the answer found in Jesus alone. He is the Light of the World, the Savior, and the only One who leads us into true relationship with the Father.

In this special episode, I’m sharing my second sermon preached at New Life Community Church in Cicero—a message titled “The Gift of Being Present.”

Every year, December has a way of pulling us in every direction. The pressure, the pace, the expectations, the spending - sometimes the season meant to bring peace quietly becomes a season filled with pressure. And if we’re honest, many of us know what it feels like when the joy of Christmas gets drowned out by the noise of Christmas.

In this message, we walk through Matthew 13, Luke 10, and Matthew 25 to uncover how the “cares of this world” can choke out our spiritual life… and how Jesus invites us to something better: Presence over Pressure.

I share parts of my own story, the danger of crowded hearts, and how presence with Jesus always leads to compassion for “the least of these.”
From Angel Tree to prison ministry inside Cook County Jail, we look at what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ in a hurting world - especially during this season.

If you’ve felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or spiritually distracted, this word is for you.

May this message encourage you to slow down, make room, and rediscover the beauty of being present with Jesus.

In this two-minute devotional, Nico walks us through Psalm 69 - one of King David’s most desperate cries for help. When the waters rise to his neck and the pit is about to close in, David shows us a powerful template for facing our own trials: humble yourself, cry out to God, trust His deliverance, and choose praise even in the darkest moments.
A short but impactful reminder that when life feels overwhelming, God remains our refuge, our strength, and our only true source of rescue.
