Canceled by Culture, Called by Christ

In this compelling episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks, Executive Director of Love Life, interviews Juan Riesco, Love Life’s Chicago City Director and national Social Media Coordinator.

Juan shares his remarkable transformation—from a lifestyle of homosexuality, cocaine addiction, and illegal graffiti to becoming a successful entrepreneur, owning Chicago’s #1 rated restaurant, and eventually surrendering it all for the sake of Christ.

The conversation explores:

Juan’s radical salvation and how God saved his entire family

The rise and fall of Nini’s Deli and his bold stand against the BLM movement

How God led him from the business world into full-time pro-life ministry

What’s happening in Chicago as Love Life reaches moms at abortion centers

Why social media is a modern-day mission field and how Christians can use it to glorify Jesus

Practical advice on storytelling, reaching hearts online, and countering lies with truth

Juan’s testimony is a powerful reminder that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. This episode encourages listeners to trust God’s leading, even through trials, and to boldly share truth in today’s culture.
