Summary
A storm wakes the house, cereal crunches in the background, and a little boy points at a picture of a combine harvester — that’s the scene as Angel Santana gathers his family to pray for Ariel’s first day back at school. Through small chaotic moments, he weaves a heartfelt blessing for students, teachers, bus drivers, and school staff around the world. Listen as memory and faith meet: a father’s recollection of childhood separation, the relief of parents reclaiming quiet, and a gentle invitation to share your own first-day stories for a chance to win a Have Faith, Let It Begin pen. This episode is a warm, intimate call to keep children safe, supported, and ready to learn.
