Javier called us about Brooke. They matched on Hinge and decided on brunch in Pleasanton. Javier said they shared pancakes, swapped stories about college, and even went for a walk afterward to keep the conversation going. He thought Brooke was easy to talk to and genuinely seemed interested in him. But she never responded after.

Whatever we are going through and however painful it may be, we are not alone.

We have gratitude for the gift of Mary and her openness that made the way for Christ to come into the world.

We are called to love each other and connect in a deeper way with Christ.

Preaching, says Heath Hardesty, should do more than explain a passage of Scripture - it should take listeners on a journey that awakens thirst and points them to the living water of Christ. In this session, recorded at Valley Community Church in Pleasanton, California, Hardesty unpacks how the “arc” and the “through-line” of expository preaching bring sermons into harmony with the larger story of redemption.Drawing from John 7:37–39, he demonstrates how faithful exposition stirs a Spirit-given sense of need and satisfies the soul's ache in the gospel. The teaching weaves together theology, cultural insight, and pastoral wisdom, offering a vision of preaching that is unified, Spirit-led, and Christ-centred.About Heath HardestyHeath Hardesty serves as Lead Pastor of Valley Community Church in Pleasanton, CA, and is a founder of Inklings Coffee & Tea in the heart of downtown Pleasanton. He grew up in a blue-collar home and was a plumber's apprentice in Colorado before becoming a pastor on the edge of Silicon Valley, where he, his wife, and their four children now reside. Heath holds degrees in literature, leadership, biblical studies, and theology from the University of Colorado Boulder and Western Seminary in Portland.His forthcoming book, All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World (with a foreword by Jon Tyson), will be released October 14, 2025.Pre-Order Heath's Book Here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/776336/all-things-together-by-heath-hardesty/For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

Imagine what our community would be like if we were a community of radical encouragement.

Our guest is a regular visitor with us on various biblical matters. He's Bible teacher and pastor Joe Jacowitz. He's the president of First Love Ministries, and the pastor of Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, CA. Our topic is a term that's widely used by Christians but a foreign concept to the secular hearer and even some church-goers. It's the term, “Born Again.”

Hope has two "daughters", Anger and Courage. Anger at how things are and courage to see to it they will not remain that way.

Even in times of tragedy and sorrow, God is present.

God can do in us what we cannot do in ourselves.

What kind of impact are we leaving behind after each of the encounters we have?

BABYLON A.D. is excited to release the title track and the first single and video from their new album WHEN THE WORLD STOPS. The new album will be released on CD September 1st via Kivel Records. The digital release of the album follows a month later.Derek Davis, Babylon A.D. lead singer had this to say about the first single, "“When The World Stops” is an apocalyptic love story about two young lovers facing the end of the world. The lyrics are very visual so a listener can really follow the story and the video we have just released conveys the imagery beautifully. I love writing lyrics that have a message and a theme, sort of like a mini movie, and this track I believe really captures the visual I was trying to capture. This song is a nice hard hitting up-tempo kick ass tune. A 100 percent Babylon A.D. track that I'm sure our the fans will love."  Pre-Order the Album: https://www.kivelrecords.com/wordpress/  Listen to the First Single: https://smarturl.it/whentheworldstops  Watch the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlyu7PSfu1w  Presave the new album on Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/0ma4NMKMqxFsCiu5tOUsjOBABYLON A.D.Derek Davis - Vox - Guitar - KeyboardsRon Freschi - Guitar - B VoxJohn Mathews - GuitarDylan Soto - Drums - Acoustic Guitar on “The Damage Is Done”Craig Pepe - Bass - B VoxSpecial guest: Julie Pacheco - Piano on “Love Is Cruel”  Track Listing:When The World Stops 3:25Come On Let's Roll 4:36Don't Ask Qustions 5:22Love Is Cruel 6:49Toxic Baby 4:16I Don't Beleive In You 5:15Power Of Music 4:21Torn 3:33The Damage Is Done 4:43Oh Suki 4:01Sadness Madness 5:11  Produced, Mixed, Engineered by Derek Davis @ The BADMOFO's Recording Studio, Pleasanton, CA.Drums recorded by: Brad Barth @ Audio Voyage Livermore CA.  ALL SONGS WRITTEN BY: Derek Davis, Ron Freschi, John Mathews, Dylan Soto, Craig Pepe. © Perfect Pen Publishing, Matrix Media, Jonestown Pub ASCAP.  Management: Malla Entertainment  Released by Kivel Records/Apocalypse Records  Very limited pre-order bundles are available directly from Kivel Records at  https://www.kivelrecords.com/wordpress/ .  Basic Pre-Order $18.00 (shipping included)Comes with the following• 1 CD • 1  Sticker• 1  Button   Babylon A.D. is excited to bring the WHEN THE WORLD STOPS tour to Europe this September.2025 Babylon A.D.

Fr. G shares his homily for the Feast of St. Pius X, Pope

Our God makes all things - even us who are sinners, new

True peace isn't found in having a perfect life. It's found in taking our imperfect lives and putting them into the hands of God.

What keeps you from that next step of becoming a better and more amazing disciple of Jesus Christ?

When our political thinking does not align with the gospel, we must challenge our political thinking.

We ask our Blessed Mother to intercede for us because one day all things will be made new.

There comes a time to transcend from being righteous to being kind.

Holiness is not easy to find and it takes a certain amount of humility to move in that direction.

Whatever it is we are facing, do not be afraid and be brave and steadfast.

It all begins with God's love and out of that love, God will provide.

Are you the person who chooses love, truth, and mercy?

We must actively discipline ourselves to remember that the Lord is God.

Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.

The Jesus who shines so brilliantly on the mountaintop is the same Jesus who walks besides no matter how dark the valley gets.

When things go bad, do you look to Jesus?

No matter t how unequipped we feel, we bring what little we have not from our abundance but from our need and Jesus takes it from there.
