We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Pablo Groves. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Pablo below.

Hi Pablo, thanks for joining us today. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

Cuts for Christ began years ago by providing free haircuts to the homeless in Downtown Austin, Texas. As a licensed Cosmetologist, it began to be more than that. Sharing the Gospel in my own shop to those that came in for a haircut was how it all began. Many relationships formed, scriptures discussed, and souls saved to Jesus Christ, right in my own SHOP! This soon expanded to Outreaches and Events. After attending my first Revival filled with Christian Hip-Hop Worship, preaching, testimonies, and an altar call. It was at that moment I had an idea to start bringing Cuts For Christ out. By bringing my Ministry to Outreaches and Events, I was able to cut hair for free once again to those in need and continue to share the Gospel to even more people. In 3 years, I have been able to Minister out of my chair at over 40 Outreaches/Events. 5 of those I had the blessing of planning and putting together from beginning to end. It has truly been a blessing. I have also since been Licensed to the Gospel. Cuts For Christ has grown, and I am now able to bring out other stylists, barbers, students, and even my own son to cut hair. I was called to do Ministry at a very young age, and I am finally using my gifts, not only cutting hair, but Preaching God’s word and leading multiple people to Christ. This is where my non-profit began, PSJ Christ’s Xtreme Harvest Ministries. To be a “People Sharing Jesus” in the most Xtreme areas and communities. Making people feel and look good with a variety of ways to meet physical needs. The goal is to change communities, watch people give their hearts to Christ and giving them life. What better way to bring Cuts For Christ underneath all of that! PSJ Christ’s Xtreme Harvest Ministries is now serving inner-city as well as traveling locally, state-wide, and nation-wide to pursue His purpose in casting the net for lost souls. My family and I not only travel and serve at other Outreaches/Events, we have had many opportunities to plan and put together our own in poverty stricken areas, schools, and a Juvenile facility. The day of each service, it is a day filled with free haircuts, free food, sharing the Gospel, worship music with many genres, and ending with prayer, preaching, and an altar call. All to meet needs physically and spiritually. Most of these Outreaches/Events are open to the public and are widely advertised through social media and paper flyers. In the past 3 years, I have had many opportunities to preach leading 70+ people to Christ. PSJ Christ’s Xtreme Harvest has recently partnered with IH-35 Corridor Missions. Taking on the Team Leader role with IH-35 Corridor, we are able to expand the vision and open it up even more to those that would like to utilize their own special gifts to serve. This is just the beginning and proof of how amazing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is, and the fruit that can be produced when following in obedience while using your God given gifts. I cannot wait to see what Jesus Christ has in store for the future of PSJ Christ’s Xtreme Harvest Ministries and all the other Ministries that come with it. A small idea, a heart tug from Jesus, lots of prayer, a calling to the Ministry at a young age, obedience to God’s word and voice, many tears, lots of hard work, and much much more has given me an opportunity to begin my own Ministry. The main goal is to PREACH the GOSPEL and WIN SOULS to CHRIST!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I was called to the Ministry at a very young age. With many stumbling blocks, trials, and rejection, I have finally found my place where God has planned for me to be. I am a Preacher first and foremost. I share the Gospel everywhere I go, not just Outreaches and Events. I want nothing more than to win as many souls to Christ as possible. I started cutting hair and sharing Jesus right in my stylist chair, now I have been to several places to Preach the word of God. I also do Preaching 101’s on my personal Facebook page, and I have been doing that for over 8 years. I have been through it all. I went to school for Ministry, dropped out, I have gone through addiction, I have been arrested, and all the things. But, Jesus Christ pulled me through and out of it all. I can relate to many people and their struggles, which makes me a person that is easy to talk to. I am always open to talk about the Bible, answer questions, and help in any way that I can as I am very easy to get ahold of/find.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

The fruit that has been produced from my Ministry PSJ Christ’s Xtreme Harvest/Cuts For Christ has definitely shown resilience through all of the rejection, stress, and tears. The enemy has and continues to throw roadblocks, but staying strong in the Word of God and being obedient to what he has called of me, only makes me stronger each and every time.

There was a time that I was planning an Event at a Juvenile Center and there were a lot of rules and paperwork. Less than a week away from putting on this amazing event, I got an email that each and every person had to fill out a form for a background check. We had no problem getting the background checks for each and every person that was volunteering. Whether they were prayer warriors, Christian Hip-Hop artists, Preachers, or DJ’s everyone had to have a check before going to the event. Everyone was on pins and needles because not all of us had a clean background. Many of us had a not so great background and were sure that we would not be able to get in through the doors to Minister to these young kids. Many of us had a pretty rough life that was SAVED by the grace of Jesus Christ, and that’s what made it more special to be able to Minister to these kids that were clearly going down the wrong path. With many prayers for this specific Event and many prayers from Ministers that have always wanted to reach the younger crowd in the system, we were ALL able to get through the doors winning 12 souls to CHRIST!!

How did you build your audience on social media?

Building an audience on Social Media has never been a goal. I use Social Media as a tool!! I post nothing but scripture and resources to BUILD THE KINGDOM of JESUS CHRIST! My social media is full of my Preaching 101’s, Praise Reports from Outreaches/Events, Scripture from the Bible, and any and all things that will help lead people to Christ as well as sharpen their minds with the WORD of GOD. Those that follow me on any of my social medias get absolutely nothing but JESUS! “ROAR”
