Pablo shares his journey from a secular upbringing in Uruguay to a life-altering encounter with grace following a period of rebellion and drug use. He reflects on the "whisper" that led him to Australia as a missionary and the brutal 10-month visa battle that tested his family's faith and sense of home.The conversation dives into the reality of ministry, from working with the homeless in Adelaide to the challenge of stepping into high-level leadership during a pandemic. Pablo explores what it means to "toughen up without losing tenderness," offering a raw perspective on institutional change, the necessity of practical faith, and the radical, undeserved goodness of God.#FilthyHope #FaithNoFilter #ChristianPodcast #UnitingChurch #UruguayToAustralia #RadicalGrace #ChurchLeadership #MissionaryLife #Homelessness #MigrationtoAustralia #FaithJourney
