TAKE THE CHALLENGE

What does Proverbs 19 teach about being a good person in real life — not just in theory? In this powerful faith-based podcast episode about leadership, integrity, wisdom, and everyday character decisions, we explore how one simple moment on a morning dog walk became a real-world test of faith, obedience, and personal responsibility.

You’ve probably had a moment like this.

You’re walking through your normal routine… life feels ordinary… and then suddenly you’re faced with a decision that nobody else will see. No audience. No applause. Just you, your conscience, and a choice that quietly defines who you are becoming.

On a morning walk, inspired by Proverbs 19, what started as a peaceful routine turned into an unexpected spiritual crossroads: my dog did what dogs do… and I realized I had no poop bags.

Cue the internal debate.

Do you walk away and pretend you didn’t notice?
Or do you choose integrity when no one is watching?

What followed was a literal and spiritual backtrack — walking farther than planned, wrestling with frustration, questioning whether doing the right thing was even worth the inconvenience. And right there, in that ordinary moment, God spoke clearly:

Be a good person.

But the story didn’t end there.

When I finally opened Proverbs 19 afterward, the message hit differently. It wasn’t just encouragement — it was a blueprint for how to live wisely, lead faithfully, and build a life grounded in character.

In this episode, YOU step into the hero’s journey — because every listener faces daily decisions that shape identity, reputation, and legacy. This conversation helps you recognize how small choices become spiritual turning points.

• How walking in integrity shapes your future more than quick success

• Why haste and desire without wisdom lead to regret

• The danger of blaming God for our own decisions

• Why truth, generosity, and discipline build lasting influence

• How patience and wisdom create real leadership power

• The importance of guarding what you hear and see

• Practical ways to stay consistent in your relationship with God

Proverbs 19 reminds us:

• Walk in integrity instead of rushing like a fool

• Seek wisdom before action

• Tell the truth

• Honor family

• Be diligent — laziness never wins

• Stay generous and celebrate others

• Accept correction and grow wiser

• Spend time with God daily and allow transformation to happen

This episode isn’t about perfection.
It’s about alignment.

Because the real question isn’t: What would a good person do?
The real question is: Who are you becoming when nobody is watching?

If you’re searching for faith-based motivation, personal development, biblical leadership principles, or practical wisdom from Proverbs, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to live with intention — one decision at a time.

This unforgettable redemption story with Tigran (Tony) Kyuregyan dives into immigrant resilience, classic car culture, grief, brotherhood, and the transformational power of generosity. In this raw and deeply emotional conversation, Tony shares how arriving in America at seven years old shaped his hunger, how street life and anger nearly defined his path, and how giving—especially giving away his late brother’s 1962 Impala Super Sport—became the ultimate act of love and healing.

Tony’s story begins with sacrifice.

At 13 years old, he bought his first car for $50—and gave it to his mom. That tells you everything about his heart. But life wasn’t easy. Challenges hardened him. Anger grew. The streets called. Pain has a way of turning into armor.

And then everything shifted.

Tony discovered something most people spend a lifetime chasing: giving is more powerful than receiving.

I met Tony through my friend Vince Culliver, who had fallen in love with a ’62 Impala Tony was giving away on Instagram. To be honest, when I first saw it, I didn’t believe it was real. Who gives away a fully restored 1962 Impala Super Sport?

But this wasn’t just any car.

The Impala belonged to Tony’s brother—who passed away just a year ago.

That detail changes everything.

This wasn’t about attention. This wasn’t about marketing. This was about honoring his brother’s legacy through love. It was about turning grief into generosity. It was about proving that pain doesn’t have to make you bitter—it can make you better.

Meeting Tony in person, seeing his humility, his loyalty, and the way he carries his brother’s memory forward through Bad Habits Car Club, was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Armenian immigrant success in America

• Losing a brother and processing grief

• Overcoming anger and street life

• Classic car culture and the 1962 Impala Super Sport

• The power of paying it forward

• Faith, family, loyalty, and legacy

• How generosity transforms both the giver and the receiver

Tony Kyuregyan doesn’t just build cars. He builds legacy. He builds community. He builds hope.

This is more than a car giveaway story.
This is about redemption.
This is about brotherhood.
This is about love expressed through action.

If you believe in second chances, honoring family, and using your platform to lift others—this conversation will move you.

What’s the story you’re telling yourself right now?

In this episode of The VIBE, I unpack a lesson my mama and Pops lived every single day—long before it had a name, a book deal, or a hashtag. Whether it was my mama reminding me to always have something to look forward to, or my Pops sharing what it was like growing up Mexican in a small town in Utah, the message was clear: your mindset becomes your reality.

Some people call it rose-colored glasses.
Others call it a positive mental attitude.
The Bible calls it wisdom.

Drawing from Proverbs 10, we talk about how wisdom shapes the narrative you live by—especially when circumstances hit hard. Wisdom isn’t lazy. Wisdom speaks life. Wisdom brings joy, integrity, provision, favor, discipline, hope, and peace. Faith fuels wisdom, and wisdom gives you a foundation that doesn’t crack when life applies pressure.

This conversation is about leadership, faith, mindset, and personal growth—about learning how to weigh the stories we tell ourselves against truth that sets us free. Because favorable circumstances aren’t guaranteed, but when wisdom leads, your narrative is always working in your favor.

This episode is an invitation to pause and ask the question my mama and Pops always asked me:

What’s the story you’re telling yourself today?

🎙 If you’re into faith-based leadership, personal development, mindset mastery, and wisdom that actually works in real life—this one’s for you.

God is into the details—and this episode of The VIBE will change how you see the signs, nudges, and moments you’ve been overlooking. If you’ve ever asked God for clarity, direction, or reassurance when visibility feels faint, this conversation is for you.In this Vibe episode, I share a deeply personal story about my mama, my daughter McKenna, a simple prayer for a sign, and how God answered through the smallest details—on a dog walk, through a friend, a phone call, and unexpected encouragement. These aren’t coincidences. They’re confirmations.Rooted in Proverbs 7, we unpack what it really means to seek, store up, and apply wisdom—especially when life gets dark and temptation sounds smooth, convincing, and harmless. Wisdom keeps you filled. A lack of it leaves you vulnerable. My mama used to say, “God knows your name—and He won’t leave a stone unturned.” Turns out, she was right.We talk about:Why God speaks through detailsHow wisdom sharpens your awarenessThe “dimmer switch” effect of temptationWhy pleasure can dull pain until the damage is doneHow anything contrary to God’s will can quietly pull you off purposeThis episode is a reminder that God knows exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. If you’re looking for signs, cues, nods, or confirmation—He’s already providing them.God is into the details. Always has been.

Clarity, focus, and wisdom are the foundation for building a life with purpose, momentum, and less stress, and in this powerful podcast episode we break down the simple principle that changes everything: when you focus on what you want, you stop being controlled by what you don’t. If you’re looking for practical life lessons, personal growth strategies, and real-world wisdom for better decisions, this episode will hit home.Ever feel like life is one long game of Whack-A-Mole?Solve one problem.Two more pop up.You stay busy… but nothing really moves forward.Here’s the shift most people miss:You weren’t meant to live in reaction mode.You were built to prepare, build, and move with clarity.I learned this as a kid, standing in the doorway of my childhood home on Sixth Street in Lompoc, California. My mama was in the kitchen next to an old-school juicer, the kind that had history. Outside, sheer curtains blurred the courtyard where a lemon tree grew — the same tree she’d grab from to make fresh lemonade whenever I asked.She looked at me and said something simple that stuck for life:“If you focus on what you want, you won’t have to worry about what you don’t.”And here’s the truth:The people who win at life aren’t just reacting.They’re preparing.While everyone else is running around putting out fires…They’re investing in the foundation.When you invest in wisdom and clarity:• Decisions get easier• Distractions lose power• Progress speeds upThere will always be noise.There will always be shortcuts.There will always be shiny things pulling at your attention.But focus guards your purpose.And when your mind is full of wisdom, the fork in the road stops being confusing.The right move gets clearer.The wrong ones get louder (in a good way).You still choose.But clarity makes the choice easier.So maybe today’s the day you stop chasing every fire…And start building something that actually lasts.Because when you focus on what you want,the rest stops running your life.

A powerful story of unconditional love, biblical wisdom, and transformational parenting on The VIBE Podcast with Kelly Cardenas. In this emotional and motivational episode, Kelly shares how his mother’s simple words — “I’d love you even with poop on your face” — carried life-changing wisdom rooted in Proverbs 31.

Growing up, I gave my mom plenty of reasons to quit on me.

My name on the board with checkmarks.

Detention.

Coming home late.

Not doing homework.

Bad grades.

Procrastination.

Stupid financial decisions.

Horrible music.

Silly brushes with the law.

And some truly bad judgment.

And through it all… she loved me anyway.

We used to laugh every time she said she’d love me even with poop on my face. But only now — as a parent — do I realize the profound strength packed inside that one sentence.

That wasn’t just humor.

That was wisdom.

That was perseverance.

That was unconditional love in action.

My mom wasn’t beating me with the Bible or preaching sermons at me.

She was living Proverbs 31 every single day.

She modeled:

Confidence.

Hard work.

Wisdom.

Prudence.

Honor.

Ingenuity.

Perseverance.

Beauty of character.

And because of her character, our family was built on respect, resilience, and reverence.

The true power of a mother isn’t just what she says — it’s what she endures with love and grace.

She didn’t just promise she’d love me through my mess…

She proved it.

This episode of The VIBE Podcast is for anyone who’s ever felt imperfect but deeply loved — and for parents who are building foundations that will last generations.

What’s something your mom said that didn’t hit until you got older?

You’ve been praying for more — more breakthrough, more impact, more blessing — but what if the real question isn’t what you desire… it’s what you’re prepared to carry? You’re not behind. You’re in training.

In this VIBE Podcast episode, Kelly Cardenas unpacks Proverbs 30 and the wisdom that separates wishers from winners, dreamers from doers, and those who receive overflow from those who collapse under it.

Because everybody wants the Super Bowl moment — but nobody wants the gym season.

This conversation will hit home as you discover how God doesn’t need your help with His plan… He just needs your preparation. From contentment and humility to discipline, vision, tone, and character, you’ll see how building capacity today positions you for blessing tomorrow.

The Inchstones you’ll walk away learning how to:

• Build a foundation strong enough for success

• Stay content in every season• Avoid pride before the breakthrough

• Guard your heart from distractions

• Speak life into your family and future

• Prepare for environments you haven’t stepped into yet

Overflow isn’t about wanting more.It’s about becoming more.So dream big — but prepare bigger.Because maybe it was never a desire issue.

Maybe it’s always been a capacity issue.
