Today’s This Is Real episode is a real one.

I sit down with my friend, Pastor Ray Vara, a husband, father, pastor, and someone who has been through a lot in life.

Ray opens up about his story, from selling drugs to help his mom, to heartbreak, healing, and how Jesus completely changed his life.

We talk about manhood, fatherhood, identity, relationships, and what it means to grow from a boy mindset into the man God is calling you to be.

This conversation is honest, real, and one I think every man, and every person raising one, needs to hear.
