Pastor Jeff sits down with longtime friend, Diego Fua, who has been part of Rolling Hills since the church's earliest days, in this episode of Every Day Matters. Diego shares his journey from a childhood shaped by Catholic tradition to a real turning point in high school, and later a full surrender to Christ one Palm Sunday that led to an unforgettable baptism in a movie theater horse trough. Now a husband to Rebecca and father of three, Diego reflects on how that decision has shaped every part of his life since.

Jeff and Diego dig into what it looks like to serve wholeheartedly, whether at church, at camp, or in the workplace. Diego opens up about getting more comfortable being uncomfortable, from praying over coworkers to leading energetic rec time for hundreds of students at camp. He talks about raising his kids to know their spiritual gifts and use them for God's glory, and shares how walking through the loss of his own father has shaped his commitment to being present for his family. Through it all, he keeps coming back to Romans 15:13 and his personal mission to find joy and peace in every circumstance.

Diego's story is a reminder that serving isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about showing up, using whatever gifts God has given you, and trusting Him with the outcome. His encouragement is simple: know your purpose, take the next step even when it's uncomfortable, and let joy be what others see in you. Because that kind of everyday faithfulness is exactly what makes every day matter.
