The Power of Love (Ephesians 3:16-21) // Sunday, October 19, 2025

Scripture Focus: Ephesians 3:16-21

16 I ask that he will strengthen you in your inner selves from the riches of his glory through the Spirit. 17 I ask that Christ will live in your hearts through faith. As a result of having strong roots in love, 18 I ask that you’ll have the power to grasp love’s width and length, height and depth, together with all believers. 19 I ask that you’ll know the love of Christ that is beyond knowledge so that you will be filled entirely with the fullness of God. 20 Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us; 21 glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations, forever and always. Amen.

Carlos Rodriguez is a nonprofit leader and community organizer with over 15 years of experience building relational power to transform systems and renew democracy from the ground up. As Director of Organizing at LA Voice, he works to create a multifaith, multiracial movement that connects with over 70 congregations across Los Angeles to equip everyday people—especially immigrants, working families, and people of faith—to lead campaigns for housing justice, immigrant rights, economic justice and more.

Carlos believes deeply in the power of organizing not just to win policy change, but to reweave the social fabric and invite people back into public life. Drawing on traditions from Alinsky to Ella Baker to liberation theology, he has led teams, trained leaders, and built coalitions that move hearts, shift narratives, and hold institutions accountable.

Carlos holds a master’s in public and Nonprofit Management from NYU and a BA from Loyola Marymount. His work is grounded in love, strategy, and the belief that democracy must be practiced—not just protected.
