The Total Living Network is excited to launch its first Spanish-speaking ministry series HABLEMOS (Let’s Talk) in association with Shando Valdez, who will also be the show host. HABLEMOS is a weekly, half-hour Spanish television program that tackles current issues of the day from a biblical perspective. Shando will bring on weekly guests to break down and analyze the issues our culture is facing, examining what the Bible has to say about each topic. They’ll wrap with practical applications as to how viewers may navigate these issues.

HABLEMOS will launch on TLN on August 1, 2020 and thereafter be available on Saturdays @ 9:30pm.
