Have you ever felt completely broken?
Like everything was falling apart at once?
I have.
In 2017 I lost my radio programming job to a format change. I went back to DJing full time. Then Covid hit and I lost most of my gigs. Starting over at 50 years old. Worrying about how to support my family.
Then my mother passed away.
My doctor told me I was type 2 diabetic with high blood pressure. He put me on the same medications. The same dosages. As my mom.
That was my wake up call.
That was when I fully surrendered to God. Not just in words. In everything. Daily prayer. Sunday mass. Trusting Him with what I couldn't control.
Through that foundation — I found the discipline to change my diet. Exercise consistently. Take care of my body.
I lost 45 pounds. Today I am off one of my medications.
Faith didn't cure me. But faith gave me the strength to do what I needed to do to heal.
This past June I visited Montserrat in Barcelona — where St. Ignatius of Loyola surrendered his sword to God. I lit a candle there on my mother's birthday. And I felt her presence.
This song is my way of honoring God. For every setback He turned into a setup. For every moment I thought I was done — and He wasn't finished with me yet.
If you're going through something right now — surrender isn't weakness. It's the most active thing I've ever done.
I Surrender — Riddler, Madalina Cretu — out August 7th on all streaming platforms.
