Armando


My name is Armando, a husband and father living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, born in Detroit. I’ve been saved for about 8 years. Though I grew up in church, I didn’t have a real relationship with God until He met me in the midst of anxiety. Through that process, the Lord delivered me from alcohol, drug use, and gang life. Since then, God has completely transformed my life. I now share the gospel with teens and host a podcast to spread His Word. God has been faithful and always will be. He’s placed a calling on my life to mentor youth, serve in my community, and preach the truth of the gospel. I believe the best is yet to come.

Javier Malave

Hi, I’m Javier Malave—a husband, father, creative, and follower of Christ. Married to my amazing wife Daisy for over 30 years, we've raised two incredible kids, Michele and Sam, in our lifelong home of New York City. I surrendered my life to Jesus at 17, growing up in a Pentecostal home where faith was a lifeline. Surviving Guillain-Barré Syndrome was a turning point, where God met me powerfully.


My podcast journey began with The Intellectual Sasquatch, exploring deep questions and faith. That led to The Faith Compass, a podcast focused on biblical teaching, and The Faithful Geek, blending faith and fandom. Now, The Compass Chronicles brings it all together—faith, pop culture, and real life.


I’ve also written devotionals, created music through Crossroads Collective Studios, and advocate for integrating faith with mental health.
