Hosted by Pastor Ivan G. Estrada Jr.

Pastor Ivan G. Estrada Jr. is a loving husband to Ashley Roman-Estrada and a devoted father to Zion Estrada. He serves as an associate pastor at Una Iglesia Para La Ciudad in New Haven, CT, where he is known for his Christ-centered, culturally relevant, and practical teaching style. As an itinerant speaker, mentor to young men and youth leaders, and author of Men Follow Models, Pastor Ivan equips and encourages believers to live faithful and faith-filled lives with biblical depth and everyday application.


He is also the founder of DUDE, a movement committed to building strong, whole men of God through authentic community, bold faith, and intentional mentorship. With a passion for discipling the next generation, Ivan launched DUDE to confront cultural norms and call men into deeper purpose and Christlike maturity. His heart beats for the discipleship and empowerment of men. Through DUDE, he is raising up a brotherhood designed to help dudes look more like Jesus.
