In this episode of Made for Christ, Pascal and Alyssa sit down with Tucson small-business owner Adan to hear a powerful story of faith, grief, healing, and purpose.

Adan shares his journey from growing up in the restaurant industry to building a successful catering business that once served 9,500 meals a day across Arizona. But behind the success came burnout, depression, and the unimaginable loss of his five-year-old daughter—just months after he and his family accepted Christ.

In this deeply honest conversation, Adan opens up about wrestling with God through anger and heartbreak, learning to grieve as a husband and father, and finding healing through a personal connection to God’s own experience of loss. He speaks candidly about mental health, cultural expectations around masculinity, the importance of community, and why men must learn to ask for help.

Now stepping into a new season, Adan shares his passion for helping men build healthy businesses that create space for life, faith, and healing—so they’re not forced to choose between grief and responsibility when hardship comes.

This episode is a moving reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, God is present, healing takes time, and no one is meant to walk through pain alone.
