10/10: Living A Full Life with Mike and Velden

Trauma or Excuse? Taking Full Charge Over Past Wounds

Mental health is real. The struggles are real. And the need for compassion is real. 👌 But here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: Have we become so afraid of offending people that we’ve stopped talking about personal responsibility? 🤔 When does mental health become a legit limitation? And when does it become a convenient explanation for behavior that should still be addressed? This week, we’re diving into the tension between empathy, accountability, and the truth about mental health with Registered Psychologist, the Director of LOJ Pastoral Care Center, Dr. Michele Alignay, PhD.  📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 9am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.

Be The Man: Asserting Masculinity Without The Toxicity

When does masculinity cross the line into toxicity? 🤔 How do we stay grounded in God’s design for manhood without losing strength, conviction, and courage? 🧐 These are the raw, honest questions Velden and Mike wrestle with in our latest podcast episode: “Be The Man: Asserting Masculinity Without The Toxicity.” This isn’t surface-level talk. It’s a real conversation about strength, leadership, identity, and becoming the kind of man God actually calls us to be. 🔥 Lean in. Listen closely. And get ready to rumble. 🥊 📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 9am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.

Will The Real Men Please Stand Up: Recaliming Manhood from Passivity

“If he doesn’t have money, he’s not worth dating.” “Level up or get left behind.” “Men should provide.” At the same time? Men are told they’re too toxic, too soft, too much, not enough. So where does that leave them? Confused. Pressured. Stuck. Wanting to step up but unsure what they’re even stepping into. In this episode, Mike and Velden unpack the tension shaping modern manhood from social media standards to silent expectations. They ask the question most men are afraid to face: Are you stepping into real manhood… or slowly slipping into passivity?

Lent: Meatless but Still Missed the Point

Most of us go through Lent thinking it’s about giving something up. So we fast. We sacrifice. We try to be “better.” But actually, there's so much more to Lent than just removing something from our life.  It was actually meant to return us to Someone. We can give up coffee, sweets, or scrolling… and still miss the point. So maybe it’s time to ask: 👉 Is my act of decrease increasing my connection to God?  This episode might shift the way you see Lent.  Listen to LENT: Meatless but Still Missed the Point with Mike Viñas, Velden Lim, and Fr. Joel Jason.  📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 10am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.

Lenten Episode: On Calling, Sexuality, and Fatherhood

Lenten episode coming your way. 🙏 With Fr. Joel Jason, we unpack Theology of the Body, sexuality, and the truth that giving yourself isn’t just poetic. It’s profoundly sexual.  Your body speaks.  Your vocation speaks.  The way you love speaks. Lent isn’t just about giving things up. It’s about learning how to give yourself fully.  If you’ve ever wrestled with desire, calling, relationships, or what it really means to love with your whole life — this one’s for you. Because holiness isn’t anti-desire. It’s desire fulfilled through our God-given purpose.  Part 2 next week.
