  Can you believe I'm seven years old already? I'm old enough now to introduce my dad.

  Ladies and gentlemen, your host, my dad, Angel Santana.

  Two thousand came and the spark was lit. A testimony raw, it wouldn't quit.

  It's mother's voice, a guiding thread.

  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin.

  I want to ask you something very important this morning. When did it become
• 1:02
  uncool to say that you love Jesus? Think about that.
• 1:05
  We have no problem talking about the music we love, the sport teams we love
• 1:10
  and follow, the people we admire.
• 1:12
  We will wear their t-shirts, share their posts, sing their songs.
• 1:16
  But sometimes when it comes to our faith, we get a little quieter.
• 1:20
  And I understand that, believe me.
• 1:22
  Because there have been many times in my own life when I loved Jesus,
• 1:26
  I believed in Jesus, but I wasn't
• 1:28
  always comfortable talking about that relationship with other people.
• 1:32
  Yeah, I remember those days. It was back in my early, late 20s.
• 1:36
  Maybe I didn't know what to say.
• 1:37
  Maybe I was worried about how somebody would respond.
• 1:42
  Maybe I didn't want somebody looking at me differently.
• 1:45
  And as I've gotten older and grown in my faith, I've started realizing,
• 1:49
  why should I be embarrassed about loving Christ? I'm not.
• 1:52
  You see, what's inspired me and what's inspired something brand new inside of
• 1:57
  me that I'm going to share with you at the end of today's episode is something.
• 2:01
  That has been working in my system since I turned 25 years old.
• 2:05
  See, recently I wrote a song.
• 2:07
  I call it, It's Cool to Love Jesus. Yeah, hard to believe this kid from Walden, New York wrote a song.
