The Ed Fernandez Show

The Wounds We Hide

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed opens up about the scars we all carry — the visible wounds, the hidden pain, and the life experiences we often try to bury out of fear, shame, or pride. From childhood trauma and rejection to financial hardship, fatherlessness, business failure, and devastating moments of uncertainty, Ed shares how God can use our deepest scars to bring healing and freedom to others. Using the story of Jesus revealing His scars to the disciples after the resurrection, this episode explores how transparency can unlock faith, restore hope, and strengthen others who are silently struggling. Ed shares raw stories from his own life — including the terrifying early days of building 1031 Crowdfunding from nothing, moments where he feared losing everything, and how God showed up when he needed Him most. This episode is for anyone carrying pain they’ve hidden for years. Whether you’re battling fear, rejection, disappointment, grief, trauma, or the pressure of providing for your family, this conversation will remind you that your scars are not proof God abandoned you — they may be the very testimony that helps set someone else free. Sometimes the breakthrough comes when we stop hiding the wounds and allow God to use them. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Trespasses

In this deeply personal and convicting episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed Fernandez opens up about a difficult situation involving betrayal, broken trust, and the painful challenge of forgiveness. Through raw honesty and biblical insight, Ed explores why forgiveness is not just a suggestion from God — but a requirement for anyone who truly wants to walk in the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing from Matthew 6, Romans 12, and the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, this episode unpacks the spiritual consequences of harboring unforgiveness and how bitterness can quietly block growth, healing, purpose, and intimacy with God. Ed dives into the meaning of “trespasses” from the original Greek, explaining how violations against divine boundaries affect both relationships and the condition of the heart. He also discusses the tension between forgiveness and trust, the importance of healthy boundaries, and why true forgiveness means wiping out the debt completely instead of keeping score in the rearview mirror. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that forgiveness is part of the DNA of every citizen in God’s Kingdom. Whether you’ve been deeply hurt, betrayed, abandoned, or disappointed, this conversation challenges listeners to confront unforgiveness head-on and allow God to renew the mind and heal the heart. If you feel stuck spiritually, emotionally, or mentally, this message may reveal the very thing that’s been holding you back from your next season.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Prosperity is not Luck, it's your Birthright! Pt. 2 With Ruth Fernandez

In this powerful and deeply revealing episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed sits down with a very special guest — his wife, — for a conversation that challenges traditional thinking about faith, wealth, purpose, dominion, and the Kingdom of God. Drawing from her books Prosperity Is Not Luck, It’s Your Birthright and Kingdom Wealth Is Not Luck, It’s Your Birthright, Ruth breaks down the spiritual principles behind sowing and reaping, kingdom economics, stewardship, identity, and the responsibility believers carry to impact the world around them. This episode dives into why Jesus consistently preached the Kingdom of Heaven, what it truly means to “seek first the kingdom,” and how many believers unknowingly live beneath the authority and dominion God originally intended for them. Ed and Ruth unpack controversial but eye-opening topics including tithing, offerings, money as a spiritual force, the oppression surrounding finances in the church, and why many Christians struggle economically despite serving a good King. Ruth explains how fear, convenience, and lack of kingdom understanding have weakened the Church’s influence, while other communities intentionally circulate wealth within their own people groups. The conversation also explores identity, purpose, and the uniqueness of every individual created in God’s image. Ruth passionately explains why no person is a “carbon copy,” why generational curses and blessings are tied to obedience, and why every believer has a specific assignment on earth that nobody else can fulfill. Together, they discuss dominion, spiritual warfare, the loss of authority through Adam, and the restoration of that authority through Jesus Christ. Toward the end of the episode, the conversation shifts into something deeply personal and urgent: the invisible war affecting military veterans and active-duty operators struggling with PTSD, identity loss, depression, and suicide. Ruth shares the mission behind the proceeds of her books — helping fund support systems, recovery resources, retreats, and purpose-driven restoration programs for veterans transitioning back into civilian life. This episode is a wake-up call to believers who have settled for survival instead of influence, and an invitation to rediscover what it truly means to live as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. If you’ve ever wrestled with purpose, wealth, identity, spiritual authority, or how faith should impact everyday life, this conversation will challenge and inspire you in a profound way. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Double Minded

This episode of The Ed Fernandez Show dives deep into a powerful and often overlooked spiritual struggle: double-mindedness. What does it really mean to be “double-minded,” and why does it block so many believers from walking in authority, clarity, and answered prayer? In this teaching, Ed breaks down the reality that double-mindedness doesn’t show up when life is easy—it reveals itself in trials, pressure, and uncertainty. Drawing from scripture like James 1:2–8, he explains how a divided mind—constantly shifting between faith and doubt—creates instability and ultimately disconnects us from receiving what God has for us. The episode goes beyond surface-level encouragement and gets into the root of the issue. You’ll learn the difference between belief and true, God-given faith, and why faith isn’t something you can manufacture on your own. Ed unpacks the concept of rhema—a living, spoken word from God—and how it transforms your inner life when you’re truly grounded in scripture. He also explores the structure of our being—spirit, soul, and body—and how double-mindedness occurs when the soul is caught in a tug-of-war between the flesh and the Spirit. The result? A life that feels inconsistent, reactive, and powerless. But there’s a way out. This episode is a call to maturity. It challenges listeners to stop living a “check-the-box” faith and instead develop a disciplined, intentional relationship with the Word of God—reading it, studying it, and allowing it to take root deeply within. Through that process, your mind is renewed, your heart is purified, and your faith becomes stable and unshakable. If you’ve ever felt stuck, spiritually inconsistent, or unsure why your prayers feel ineffective, this message will hit home. It’s not just about identifying the problem—it’s about equipping you to overcome it, step into your identity as a citizen of God’s Kingdom, and walk in true authority. This is not entertainment—it’s equipping. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

The Business Bible: Nicholas Leone Pt. 2

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed sits down with returning guest Nicholas Leone to unpack what it truly means to build a life, career, and business rooted in purpose—not just profit. At the core of this conversation is identity. Before strategy, before skill, before success—who are you? The discussion dives deep into the idea that understanding your God-given identity is the foundation for confidence, clarity, and resilience in both life and business. From there, the conversation expands into calling—what you were created to do—and how work, when aligned with purpose, stops feeling like obligation and starts feeling like privilege. Nicholas shares the vision behind the Business Bible, a growing movement that connects timeless biblical principles to modern entrepreneurship, finance, and leadership. From launching a curriculum for colleges to developing AI-powered tools that interpret business news through a biblical lens, this episode explores how faith and innovation can work together—not against each other. The conversation also takes a bold turn into the future. With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the reality of automation reshaping the workforce, Ed and Nicholas break down what this means for entrepreneurs. Is AI a threat—or a tool? Are we heading toward an employment crisis, or an explosion of new opportunity? The answer might challenge everything you’ve been told. More importantly, this episode reframes the narrative: you are not powerless. You’ve been given agency—the ability to create, build, influence, and shape outcomes. When that power is aligned with truth, discipline, and purpose, it becomes a force for impact far beyond money. This isn’t just a conversation about business. It’s about stewardship, responsibility, and the role you play in shaping the world around you. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or someone searching for direction, this episode will challenge you to think differently about work, wealth, and what it really means to succeed. If you’ve ever felt called to do more, build more, or become more—this one is for you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
