Library director Phil Salvador and producer Robin Kunimune take you through the process of preserving a collection of over 10,000 digital files from our GamePro CD collection. Phil discusses how he tackles physical and philosophical dilemmas such as balancing users' needs to access original files of hi-res game art while also viewing quick, easy thumbnails researchers can actually open; dealing with broken or obsolete 90's files types like old PSD/EPS files; automating bulk processing for as much data as we're able; and balancing thorough, but concise, metadata for topics ranging from undersea wreckage salvage to hyper-specific local gaming slang. Phil and Robin also provide a sneak peak into the VGHF's upcoming monster of a project, the Game Informer collection, and how this meager 10k file collection is really just a warm-up.Mentioned in the Show: GamePro Press CD CollectionYou can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

In a culture built around convenience, preference, and personal fulfillment, it's easy to bring a consumer mindset into our faith. We often evaluate church the same way we evaluate restaurants, products, and entertainment: Did I enjoy it? Did it meet my needs? Was I fed? But Scripture presents a radically different vision of the church—not as a product to consume, but as a family where God forms us into the image of Christ. This message challenges us to move beyond comfort and preference and embrace the kind of commitment, sacrifice, and perseverance that produce genuine spiritual maturity.Scripture:2 timothy 4:3-5James 1:2-41 Corinthians 12Hebrews 5:12-14Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

Have you ever had a dream of ministering to someone, somewhere, and it was so vivid that you felt like you were really there? Well, maybe you were!When the Holy Spirit asked Bruce Allen years ago, “Can a man be translated by faith,” they embarked on a journey together that changed his life forever and led to the founding of The School of the Supernatural—Translation by Faith. Since then, Bruce and Reshma have taught these schools of the supernatural all over the world. They encourage Believers to grow in their relationship with Jesus, in their discernment, and in their knowledge of the Word of God first. Then they equip and activate so Believers can co-operate with the Holy Spirit in supernatural ways with a Scriptural foundation to accomplish the purposes of God in these last days. They join the Busses to share deep insight, fresh revelation, and lots of testimonies of experiences they've had with God, as well as similar testimonies from many other people!This naturally supernatural life is available to you too! Global Outpouring will be hosting The School of the Supernatural—Translation by Faith, September 7-12, 2026. Join us to be equipped and activated to freely and confidently move with the Holy Spirit in whatever way He leads, knowing you have a firm Scriptural foundation to operate from.

Modern Christianity doesn't usually reject God — it often reshapes Him. In this opening week of Golden Calves, we look at Israel's worship of the golden calf and ask a hard question: have we done the same? When worship becomes centered on our feelings, experiences, and spiritual highs, we can mistake emotional atmosphere for genuine surrender. This message challenges us to move beyond chasing encounters with God and toward the long, hidden, ordinary path of obedience that actually forms us into Christ's image.Scripture:Exodus 24:1-3Exodus 32:1-35Amos 5:18-27Matthew 6:5-13Matthew 5:23-24Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

We need the fire of God now more than ever!As we gear up for this Convention (starts this week: May 21-24), we are preparing our hearts for Pentecost and to receive what God has planned for us.In the first Pentecost on Mount Sinai and in Acts 2 on the Temple Mount, the Spirit of God showed up as fire! Actually, all throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as an all-consuming fire. The Busses share a powerful sermon Sharon preached last year that will help you understand what the fire of God is all about and why you need to be baptized in it in these last days. Now is the time to invite the Father to send the fire, burn up anything that's not of Him, and set you ablaze so you can help Him set the world on fire with the light of His life.

Ephesians 6 reminds us that spiritual warfare isn't just about external attacks—it's a battle for our minds, our hope, and our confidence in God's salvation. Paul describes salvation as a helmet because hope protects us from despair, fear, temptation, and the lies of the enemy. In a world obsessed with control and consumed by anxiety, the Gospel offers something deeper: safety in Christ that frees us to surrender fully to Him. The enemy wants believers distracted, fearful, and spiritually asleep, but hope in Jesus keeps us steady and alert. When you truly believe eternity is secure, the temporary pleasures and fears of this world begin to lose their grip.Scripture:Ephesians 6:10-201 Thessalonians 4:13-5:8Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org
Pathfinder Church | May 10, 2026 | AJ MasticLoyalty is important. It's what binds groups together. But too much loyalty can lead us to tolerate or excuse immoral behavior from our in-group, while magnifying the flaws of outsiders. At its most extreme, loyalty creates cults. On the other hand, too little loyalty prevents us from forming bonds of safety and trust. It can lead to individualism and self-centeredness.

Pathfinder Church | May 3, 2026 | Dion GarrettMany of us draw a sense of confidence from looking good. We shop for the right clothes and cosmetics, we perfect our poses and posts, and we collect things of beauty around us. When does it cross a line and become vanity?

Sunday Service (4/19/26) // Revelation 16:1-9 (ESV) // The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath // 16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments.6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink.It is what they deserve!”7 And I heard the altar saying,“Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.Footnotesa. Revelation 16:5 Greek angel of the watersb.

Did you know that we are all born with a sin-factory inside of us? The Bible calls it our “flesh nature.” It's the part in us that makes us want to do all the things we shouldn't and not do all the things we should, and we struggle against it daily. But here's the good news: with the Holy Spirit inside of you, you can overcome your flesh nature!Join the Busses as they share their personal stories of how the Holy Spirit is working in them lately to overcome their flesh. They also look into the Scripture for biblical insights and share practical ways to work with the Holy Spirit as He works in you to tame your flesh so you can walk in victory! And the more you overcome the flesh and walk in the fruit of the Spirit, the more like Jesus you become.

Sunday Service (4/12/26) // Revelation 15:1-8 (ESV) // The Seven Angels with Seven Plagues // 15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,“Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty!Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations![a]4 Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name?For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you,for your righteous acts have been revealed.”5 After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent[b] of witness in heaven was opened, 6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests. 7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever, 8 and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.Footnotesa.

Alanna Taylor is a visionary leader and strategic architect who has spent three decades transforming bold ideas into fundable realities. With a staggering 60% plus grant win rate and over a million dollars raised annually for her clients, she is a nationally respected expert in program design, funding, and sustainable growth for mission-driven organizations. As the founder of Granted Success, Inc., Alanna specializes in grant writing, fractional executive director services, and her signature Grant-Ready Elevation Audit—a powerful diagnostic tool that evaluates a nonprofit's win-ability across internal operations, messaging, digital footprint, and fundraising strategy. Her work is deeply rooted in empowering Black women executive directors and the Black-centered nonprofit organizations they lead. Takeaways:Founders, Stop Making Yourself the Executive Director: Alanna reveals a critical pattern in the nonprofit space—Black women founders who position themselves as the executive director are inadvertently creating their own boss through the board. Her advice: position yourself as the board chair, build a strong and diverse board, and consider launching a consulting business alongside your mission. If you can create a nonprofit, you can create a business.Win Rate Is About Discipline, Not Just Writing: A 60% plus win rate does not come from fancy proposals—it comes from the discipline to say no. Alanna carefully evaluates every RFP, reviews the terms and conditions at the end that most people skip, and declines clients whose programs do not align with a funder's priority areas. Funders now want quantitative outcomes, not wordy narratives, and Alanna delivers exactly that.Sustainability Means Multiple Revenue Streams: Grants alone will not sustain a nonprofit. Alanna pushes her clients to create fee-for-service offerings, technical assistance programs, merchandise, published books, and private donor bases. Unlike restricted grant funding, these revenue streams give organizations the unrestricted capital they need to truly grow and thrive on their own terms. Sound Bytes:“My because is really meeting the needs of Black women who are in the nonprofit space.” “You're allowed to make money as a nonprofit. You are allowed to generate revenue. You are allowed to create a service and charge for it.” “Look, I'm a great writer, but I am not Jesus. I cannot make this work.” Connect & Discover Alanna:LinkedIn: @alannataylorWebsite: grantedsuccess.orgWebsite: grantreadynow.comEmail: ataylor@grantedsuccess.org

Historian Alex Smith (author and host of They Create Worlds) joins us to challenge the prevailing "Genesis does what Nintendon't" narrative. While Sega's bravado captured the American imagination, the reality behind the ledger was far more precarious. We dissect how aggressive price wars and a strengthening Japanese yen turned market-share victories into hollow financial gains, creating a "leaky bucket" that even Sonic couldn't outrun.Our conversation traverses the internal friction between Sega of America and Sega of Japan, the fragmented rollout of the 32X and Saturn, and the precise moment when ambition collided with fiscal reality. It's a deep dive into the corporate motivations and economic pressures that dictated the rise and decline of a hardware titan.You can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.See more from Alex Smith:Website: theycreateworlds.comBlog: videogamehistorian.wordpress.comPodcast: podcast.theycreateworlds.comBook: https://www.routledge.com/They-Create-Worlds-The-Story-of-the-People-and-Companies-That-Shaped-the/Smith/p/book/9781138389908Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg
