## Episode 6 of the Relentless Hope Podcast

The Relentless Hope Podcast, hosted by Steve Gatena, founder of PRAY.COM shares vulnerable testimonies from the world's most passionate Christian leaders who overcame extreme trials through God's faithfulness.

In this episode, Pastor Diego Mesa teaches us about overcoming our insecurities and low-self-esteem by returning to God. We learn how Pastor Diego spent a lifetime feeling insecure, and how he struggled with feelings of rejection, taking things personally, and being competitive. As he shares, it took getting diagnosed with stage-four kidney cancer for him to listen to what God had to say about becoming healthier. This meant undergoing a complete lifestyle change, and detoxifying his thoughts, beliefs, habits, diet, work, and exercise.
