11. Ext. CONVERSATION w/ALEX DELGADO Part 1From Cuban Refugee to Prisoner of Fear? [S1 | Ep. 11]

If you think that’s crazy wait for the bonus! And congratulations Extended Family on reaching 100 subscribers!

Ep 11 begins with the trademark opener and another apology for not dropping 11 last week again… and again… and just for good measure let’s try it again. Then the big celebration. Congratulations Overflow Extended Family! You all did it! We reached 100 subscribers The pod duo thanks everyone for pushing the campaign and Tineska for getting us across the line. Now back to work.

PhillVill teases the show and Loto talks about having mom in town. The singing outlaw talks his experience being the scooter outlaw at Disney. PhillVill talks about adopted family and an iconic moment. Loto shares his weekend at Shift 2 men’s retreat and the biggest bear he’s ever come across in his life.

News Makers and Breakers. The pair comments on the Vice President’s outlook on delegating help for hurricane victims according to race and her sentiments about North Korean. They continue with House Speaker Pelosi questioning the wisdom of moving immigrants away from working fields in need. Darth Vader’s voice going into retirement while Phantom of the Opera embarks its final year. Black Panther is back and his replacement is revealed. News M&B concludes with an extra return reveal.

Finally the big moment. Loto introduces our amazing guest. Alex Delgado. Director of Strategic Initiatives and Evangelism of Teen Challenge SoCal. The Cuban refugee shares his powerful story of coming to America on a boat to escape the tyranny of communism, only to suffer a tyranny of his own making. Experiencing his first violent trauma at the age of 4 while riding his bike, Alex takes us on a journey of the seemingly endless battle with addiction and finally surrendering to the will of God. Walking onto the enticing floor of the Chicago stock exchange at 17 years old, introduced the young alcoholic to another addiction that would plague his life for years. Alex exposes a powerful truth that was literally revealed to him during the extended conversation.

The former heroin addict who became youth pastor of one of the fastest growing youth groups in America talks about the Arise Conference. An event taking place at the Big Fresno Fair October 16. It is held by Teen Challenge SoCal, a Christ-centered life changing ministry that has helped countless lives come out of addictions and live a productive life of sobriety through the power of God’s love. Alex shares some of the exciting things coming in the near future for this worldwide ministry and his role in it.

We were promised that the Overflow outlaws would make it up for not dropping Ep 11 last week, and this drop alone would have more than made up for it. But in true Overflow fashion Loto and PhillVill is overdelivering. To say sorry again, and again, the guys will make available a bonus drop. Don’t’ miss it. Enjoy and Lord bless.
