235: The Devil’s Voice was LOUD | Rex Andagan

Today’s episode lands right where so many of us are hurting and hustling: juggling the pressure to perform, battling hidden anxiety or burnout, and feeling stuck. If you’ve ever forced a smile while your soul screamed for help, stared down a final deadline wondering if God even sees you, or felt the weight of spiritual attacks on your life—this conversation is your lifeline.
I’m sitting down with Rex Andagan—my unflappable team lead and the producer who literally keeps the Spirit-Centered Business podcast on the air—to unpack how he went from a guy known only for his grin to someone who stared down three near-death moments and found rescue through God’s bigger plan for his life. You’ll discover:
How a single on-air prayer over your tech can become your first line of defense against spiritual interference
Why owning your vulnerability unlocks the community and compassion you’ve been craving
The secret to turning every edit, every project hiccup, and every client curveball into an invitation for God to speak through your work
Beyond the life-and-death drama, this conversation peels back the layers on what it means to truly hand over your work, your worries, and your prayers to God. You’ll discover why Rex credits prayers as his greatest payment, how his behind-the-scenes editing doubles as a spiritual discipline, and why surrounding yourself with people of faith is your best defense when the darkness comes calling.
If you’re ready to break free from isolation, have the courage to speak up when you’re in pain, and embrace a trust so deep it turns burnout into breakthrough, you can’t miss Rex’s story—and the tough-won wisdom he’s brought back from the brink. Buckle up: this episode might just rewrite your relationship with faith, fear, and the Creator of the universe.
BIO:
Rex Andagan serves as the team lead and producer for Spirit-Centered Business, and The Nth Degree podcasts. He is also the team lead for Build It Business Services, and _____________________ With a background in web development, video editing, and technical project management, he treats each edit, every tech setup, and all production hurdles as opportunities for prayer, believing that God often speaks through the details of our work.
Rex is devoted to his wife, Maria, and their two sons—both born against overwhelming medical odds after faithful prayers. That family miracle underscores his conviction that vulnerability, authentic community, and radical surrender to God’s timing are the best measures of lasting impact.
Whether he’s fine-tuning audio levels at 3 AM in the Philippines or leading the Build It Business Services team to support Bralynn’s clients, Rex lives out the motto that our toughest crises can become our greatest testimonies when we let faith lead our work.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Even the happiest faces can hide a storm—Rex never thought to ask for help because everyone knew him as “the guy who always makes people smile,” so his pain stayed invisible.
True freedom isn’t about collecting religious badges—even jumping from Catholicism to Buddhism to Islam and back left Rex empty. He only came into peace when he came into a relationship with the true Lord Jesus.
Expect miracles in unlikely places. A casual swipe on a dating app led Rex to Maria—and against medical odds, to two healthy sons—illustrating that divine timelines defy human logic.
Prayer is your creative compass. Treat editing, brainstorming, and every routine task as invitations for God to speak through your craft.
Radical surrender breeds curiosity. Handing every worry, client, and deadline to God turned Rex’s anxiety into playful wonder and unlocked unexpected opportunities.
Transparency shatters stigma. Sharing his darkest moments empowered Rex to break the power of secrecy and invite collective healing.
Inner renewal precedes breakthrough. True business success springs from personal transformation—heal your soul first, and the marketplace follows.
Sometimes God’s “no” is really a “not yet”—Rex only discovered Maria’s spine condition after they’d already fallen in love, and he’s convinced that knowing her story was the divine reason he didn’t go through with ending his life.
Faith doesn’t cancel out effort—it amplifies it—when doctors said babies weren’t in the cards, Rex and Maria prayed and trusted God with the details, and two healthy sons later, those “impossible” diagnoses read like miracle headlines.
Letting go unlocks creativity and peace—once Rex handed every client, every project, and every outcome over to God, anxiety about losing gigs transformed into curiosity for new doors.
Editing Spirit-Centered Business and The Nth Degree podcasts isn’t just cutting audio—it has become a spiritual discipline. Rex listens to every guest’s story, prays through their words, and even gets goosebumps mid-edit, turning the back-end work into front-row seats of God’s teaching.
“Prayer checks” can outvalue bank checks. Spiritual support can fuel your team even more than a paycheck.
Delegate the tech so you can stay in your lane—Build It Business Services (led by Rex) handles websites, courses, video edits, and social media, fueled by prayer and purpose, so you can focus on what only you can do.
You never have to battle darkness solo—whether it’s a pastor, a priest, a friend, or even a stranger online, reaching out and sharing your struggle can shatter isolation and remind you that someone’s ready to listen.
Your survival isn’t just for you—choosing to stay alive gives love back to those who care about you and positions you to become the lifeline someone else desperately needs.
