No gimmicks. No forced hot topics. Just a local church Young Adults Pastor who loves Jesus, God's Word, and people.
Welcome to Heart Check Podcast! I'm Pastor Los, and my calling is to disciple the next generation to know Jesus, love Jesus, and follow Jesus. Through biblical, Spirit-filled, vulnerable, and practical teaching, we'll let God's Word—through the power of the Holy Spirit—check our hearts so that together we can fall more in love with the God who created us, loves us, and has purpose for us.
Heart Check is a place to belong, be known, and become more like Jesus.
Bible Study with Pastor Los | Jesus Feeds Five Thousand | The Gospel of John (6:1-15)
What do you do when you look at your circumstances and realize, “I don’t have enough”?
In John 6:1–15, Jesus feeds more than 5,000 people with just five barley loaves and two fish. But this miracle is about so much more than Jesus providing food—it’s about learning to trust who Jesus is when what we have feels completely insufficient.
Philip looked at the crowd and saw what they couldn’t do. Andrew looked at five loaves and two fish and saw what they didn’t have. But Jesus already knew what He was going to do.
Maybe you’ve been saying, “I can’t.” “We don’t have enough.” “There’s no way this can work.”
And maybe Jesus is reminding you today: You can’t—but He can.
In this episode, we talk about trusting Jesus as our provider, learning to see beyond our temporary circumstances, being spiritually filled by Christ—the Bread of Life—and remembering that nothing is wasted in God’s hands. Your pain, your brokenness, your failures, your struggles, and even the things you wish you could take back can be surrendered to Jesus. He can take what looks insignificant and use it for His glory.
Jesus doesn’t just give us enough to survive. He fills us, and His goodness overflows.
So wherever you are today, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Bring Him what you have—even if it feels like five loaves and two fish—and trust Him with what only He can do.
Are you looking at what you can’t do—or are you trusting in what Jesus can do?
Welcome to the Heart Check community—a place to belong, be known, and become more like Jesus.

Bible Study with Pastor Los | The Gospel of John (5:31-47)
What if you can know the Bible… and still not know God?
In John 5:31–47, Jesus confronts religious leaders who searched the Scriptures, studied God’s Word, and knew the text—but completely missed the Person the Scriptures were pointing to: Jesus.
In this episode, Pastor Los unpacks the three witnesses Jesus gives to testify about who He is: John the Baptist, Jesus’ own teachings and miracles, and God the Father Himself. But Jesus takes it even deeper when He says, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!”
This is a heart check for all of us.
Are we coming to God’s Word with a humble heart that is willing to be changed and transformed? Or are we searching Scripture simply to prove our opinions, defend our positions, or find arguments for what we already believe?
Because there’s a difference between knowing the Word of God and knowing the God of the Word.
In this episode, Pastor Los challenges us to stop simply searching the Scriptures—and allow the Scriptures to search us.
Are you reading God’s Word to know Him—or just to support what you already believe?
My prayer is that we would come to Scripture with humble hearts, allowing God’s Word to correct us, convict us, transform us, and make us more like Jesus.
Let’s search the Word so we can know the God of the Word.

Maybe Desperation Isn’t Your Problem—What You’re Reaching For Is | Mark 5
Are you desperate for Jesus—or are you just around Him?
In Mark 5, we meet a woman who had been suffering for 12 years. She had spent everything she had searching for healing, but nothing worked. Then she heard about Jesus. In the middle of a crowd, she fought her way through just to touch His robe, believing that if she could only reach Jesus, everything could change.
But there’s a deeper question in this story: Are we actually reaching for Jesus, or are we just part of the crowd?
In this episode, Pastor Los shares a vulnerable part of his own story of walking through deep grief, desperation, and loss—and realizing that in his pain, he was reaching for things that could never give him what only Jesus could.
Sometimes desperation isn't the worst place to be. Sometimes it's the place where we finally realize how badly we need Jesus.
Maybe you've been holding onto bitterness, grief, sin, control, temporary pleasures, or something else that's keeping you from reaching for Him. Maybe you've been around Jesus for a long time, but you've never truly surrendered to Him.
This is your heart check:
Are you a spectator of Jesus, or are you reaching for Jesus?
Because the robe didn't heal the woman. Her faith in the One wearing the robe did.
If you're hurting, searching, or feeling desperate right now, press play and listen to this episode all the way through. Let this message challenge you to identify what you've been reaching for instead of Jesus—and take a moment to surrender it to Him.
Then share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that Jesus is still worth reaching for. You never know who might be walking through a season of desperation and needs to hear this message today.
