Why This Podcast
This podcast was born out of reflection.
After nearly four decades of work, raising a family, and now watching my grandchildren grow, I realized something important. The lessons God teaches us are not meant to stay with us. They are meant to be shared. Only for a Season is where real life meets real faith. Honest conversations about the moments that shape us, the challenges we face, and the seasons we walk through.

The Heart behind the Podcast
Hi, I’m Mel Cruzado. I’m a husband to Ruth, father to Jennifer and Michele, and proud grandfather to Katelynne, Ava, Jacob, Lia, and Melany. After nearly 38 years with GE Healthcare, I retired and began reflecting on the many seasons of life I’ve walked through. Some were filled with laughter and celebration. Others brought challenge, loss, and growth. Through every season, I’ve seen God’s faithful hand at work. Only for a Season is my way of sharing the lessons, mistakes, memories, and wisdom God has given me along the way. It’s also a living legacy for my grandchildren, so they can hear my voice and return to these conversations long after Ruth and I are gone. Every story has purpose. Every season matters.
Who is this Podcast For
Only for a Season speaks to men in every stage of life. Young men. Husbands. Fathers. Grandfathers. It’s also for the women who pray for them and the families walking through life’s changing seasons together. This podcast is for anyone who needs a reminder that God is still present, even in the quiet seasons.
The heart of this podcast is rooted in Ecclesiastes 3:1.
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
Life changes. Families grow. Children leave home. Grandchildren are born. Some seasons bring joy. Others bring grief. But every season has meaning when we walk through it with faith.
