  In a quiet neighborhood, where peace once lived, something has returned.
• 0:13
  At first, it was just a hole.
• 0:17
  Some unnoticed, but not for long.
• 0:22
  One man One house
• 0:25
  And an unexpected enemy Hiding Just
• 0:30
  beneath the surface He thought
• 0:33
  it was over He thought He had it sealed But The ground had other plans Concrete
• 0:43
  was poured Confidence was high But somewhere A woodchuck Was just getting started it.
• 0:51
  This is not just a story about a hole.
• 0:54
  This is a battle.
• 0:56
  It's a battle of patience, persistence, and property lines.
• 1:02
  The war has just begun. Half-Faith, let it begin.
• 1:07
  Angel vs. the Woodchuck, Part 1, starts right now.
• 1:36
  Hello everyone, and yeah, what supposedly was hopefully going to do a three-part
• 1:40
  series is now part four. Yeah, the trap is set. This is right.
• 1:45
  Previously on Monday through Wednesday, as you know, this has been an Angel vs. the Woodchuck war.
• 1:52
  Episode one was about the hole that became two. Number, episode two was the two holes became three.
• 1:58
  Then, just when I thought I had control, the Woodchuck changed the game. So here we are.
• 2:05
  Welcome back. Half faith, let it begin.
• 2:09
  Today, we've reached a new level of turbulence, a new level of unexpectance,
• 2:15
  because now I have set the traps.
• 2:19
  Don't worry, there have a heart traps. And my plan is to capture the woodchuck
• 2:24
  and send him back into the wilderness 40 miles away from my home.
• 2:28
  So when I went out, I got one.
• 2:30
  Then I got not one, not two, but three have hard traps.
• 2:35
  And now I'm thinking, all right, now they're serious. We're serious here.
• 2:40
  And I'm strategizing and I'm playing chess. I don't even like chess, but I'm playing chess.
• 2:45
  And what do I, what do I bait with? Hmm.
• 2:50
  Raspberries. Because I figured if you're going to go out, you might as well
• 2:55
  go out with something good.
• 2:57
  Well, here's where it gets weird. I haven't seen him now for a couple days.
• 3:02
  Raspberries are still in the trap.
• 3:04
  Nothing. No movement.
• 3:06
  No peekaboo. No attitude.
• 3:10
  Now I'm starting to wonder. I'm thinking. He knows.
• 3:14
  The woodchuck knows. Because now, things are happening at night.
• 3:18
  My motion detectors are going off. Random noises.
• 3:23
  I'm laying there like, what is going on? At one point, I could have sworn somebody
• 3:29
  knocked up my front door, okay? I mean, I go outside, nobody's there.
• 3:33
  I'm just standing there like, nah, this couldn't be the woodchuck, right?
• 3:37
  Is the witcher playing games with me, guys? Because now, it's not just about the holes.
• 3:44
  It now feels like it's psychological warfare.
• 3:47
  And as funny as this is, there's something real here, too.
• 3:51
  You know, I got to tie this into a faith story, right? To understanding that,
• 3:55
  you know, Half-Faith is a podcast about faith.
• 3:57
  So how do I tie this all in? Well, because sometimes in life, things go quiet.
• 4:01
  Not because the problem is gone, but because something is shifting.
• 4:06
  And in those moments, it's easy to overthink.
• 4:09
  It's easy to let your mind run. But that's where faith comes in, trusting God.
• 4:15
  And even when things don't make sense, even when it feels like something is
• 4:21
  happening behind the scenes, that's when your faith should kick in.
• 4:25
  So let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for being with us even in the moments of uncertainty.
• 4:31
  When we don't understand what's happening and when things feel a little out
• 4:35
  of control, give us peace, patience, and clarity and help us to trust you no
• 4:41
  matter what we're facing.
• 4:42
  In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
• 4:45
  So now, right now, there's no new update.
• 4:49
  The traps are set, the yard is quiet, and the woodchuck is nowhere to be seen.
• 4:54
  But I will say this, if anything happens, we're breaking in immediately.
• 5:00
  But for now, we're going to pause the Woodchuck story just for a moment.
• 5:05
  Because this Friday, tomorrow, is a very important day for me and my family.
• 5:09
  My father, Angel Santana Sr., is going to have surgery.
• 5:14
  It's going to have a pacemaker installed. And I just want to take a moment to ask for your prayers.
• 5:20
  The war of Angel and the Woodchuck will continue, will be continued.
• 5:25
  But tomorrow, we'll have a prayer version of Half Faith Let It Begin.
• 5:31
  And at any point in time, if the Woodchuck decides to show his face.
• 5:36
  I guarantee you, Psychological Warfare Part 5 will continue.
• 5:42
  You because we're not even close to resolving this.
• 5:46
  Maybe he'll sit down and have a chat with me. I don't know. Well,
• 5:49
  God bless you. God be with you and never forget. Have faith.
• 5:55
  Let it begin. I wonder if he will do a sit down with me. How do I get a message to a woodchuck?
