What does it look like to say “yes” to God, again and again? In this inspiring God at Work episode, Pastor Brian sits down with Gabbie, Pathway's High School and Young Adult Director. From her first mission trip at age five to serving full-time in Mexico, Gabbie's story is a powerful reminder that following Jesus often means stepping out in faith—one obedient “yes” at a time. Hear how God used her years on the mission field to prepare her for ministry here at Pathway Church, what it really means to move from secondhand faith to a personal relationship with Jesus, and why she's passionate about helping students and young adults discover their calling to serve, lead, and live on mission. If you've ever wondered how to recognize God's voice or trust His plan when the path ahead is unclear, this episode will encourage and challenge you.

What if the biggest blessings in life aren't found in success, but in simple obedience? Jonathan and Etta Gibson know firsthand what it means to trust God one step at a time. From their early days meeting at a Christian sports camp to leading thousands of students each summer at Real Life Ministries in Vero Beach, their story is all about saying “yes” when God calls, even when the plan doesn't make sense. In this episode, Pastor Brian sits down with the Gibsons to talk about faith, family, and the incredible ways God is moving through Real Life's camps and retreats. You'll hear how over 700 students made decisions for Christ this summer, how obedience opened doors they never expected, and why the blessing is always in the obedience. If you need a reminder that God's timing is perfect and His plans are better, this conversation will inspire and encourage you.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. This week, I'm joined by the legendary Calvin Rodgers. His playing has helped define modern gospel drumming through his work with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and John P. Kee. And speaking of John P. Kee—Calvin's performance on "Rain On Us" has come up again and again in other drummers' Big Fat Fives. I had to ask him about it, and his story doesn't disappoint. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, we got to hear from Pastor David as he reminded us that raising people up in faith is more than helping them stay afloat at the surface. Using the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4, he showed how raising others up today means doing it with intentionality, accountability, patience, humility, and a willingness to go deeper ourselves. That's where the snorkel vs scuba picture comes in. Snorkeling gives you a glimpse, but scuba takes you down into the depths, and you can't do it alone. Just like scuba divers rely on a shared source of breath, we're meant to rely on God's Spirit and bring others alongside us as we go deeper with Him. Take some time this week to pray and ask God who He's calling you to raise up and walk deeper with in faith.|| ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone is welcome to learn about a relationship with God, whether you're curious or confident in your faith.|| GET CONNECTED || Here at Beach, we are most passionate about seeing people come into a relationship with Jesus!

You don't need a pulpit to preach, just a heart that's willing.

If you've ever wondered how to share your faith in everyday life, this episode will equip and encourage you. Let this be your reminder: the church isn't a building, it's you.

Today's Headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly told President Trump that his name appeared multiple times in a “truckload of documents” related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Wall Street Journal. The news broke just after a Florida judge denied the DOJ's request to unseal Epstein's 2005 grand jury transcripts, citing legal limitations. Meanwhile, Roy Black—the attorney behind Epstein's infamous 2007 plea deal—has died, likely taking key secrets with him. ICE is under scrutiny for detaining Zia, a former Afghan interpreter who legally moved to the U.S. after working with American forces. He was seized during a green card appointment despite being approved for protection. In AI news, OpenAI is seeking $40 billion in funding, Anthropic is eyeing controversial Gulf investments, and Elon Musk's xAI wants $12 billion more for data centers—raising questions about the costs of AI ambition.

We are continuing my Pride Month Feature on the show with first time guest Stephanie Williams, who also happens to live in my now home state of North Carolina. RAISE UP! I never pass up a chance to get in a Petey Pablo reference. I'm excited to finally get a chance to pick Stephanie's brain about some of the influences behind her smash comic hit Nubia and the Amazons and how writing in Themyscira is a unique pocket to be able to explore queer narratives at DC. It was recently announced that she will be returning there with Warriors And A Wee Wonder launching in July on DC GO! Also covered in the episode is some fantastic conversation about her book Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse: A Visual Encyclopedia including a dream opportunity to meet the Peacemaker himself, John Cena, and her fantasy project of developing Justice League Antarctica. Hey, the book includes King Shark so you know I want to talk about it. Stephanie's website Stephanie's newsletter As mentioned in the show, check out the Bitches On Comics podcast. Warriors And A Wee Wonder From the publisher In Warriors and a Wee Wonder by writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia & the Amazons) with art by Jane Pica, Emily Pearson, and Dominic Bustamante, what happens when an island of powerful, immortal Amazons is tasked with…raising a baby?! In this charming slice-of-life comedy, fierce warriors find themselves tactically outmaneuvered by a tiny princess (a.k.a. the future Wonder Woman, Diana) whose emerging magical abilities cause delightful chaos. With meddling Olympian gods watching from above and little Diana causing havoc below, the Amazons devise their greatest battle strategy yet: the Wee Wonder Warriors rotation system. Because on Themyscira, it truly takes an island to raise a child!

A @Christadelphians Video: SummaryThis presentation explores the significance of Melchizedek and his connection to the Psalms, particularly Psalm 110, which is extensively referenced in the New Testament. It delves into the historical context of the priesthood during the time of Eli and the rise of King David, highlighting the importance of the Tabernacle and the establishment of Zion as the dwelling place of God. The presentation also discusses the typological role of David as a precursor to the Messiah, the faithful priest who would build a sure house and walk before the anointed forever.Highlights

Matthew 5:17-2617 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teachers others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgement.' 22But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!' Will be liable to the hell of fire. 23So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. Sermon Questions:1. What are some areas in your life where you've established 'little laws' to help you know you're 'doing good?'2. How does God's requirement of holiness - perfect obedience to a perfect law - strike your heart?3. What are your tactics to 'deal' with your anger?4. Where is Jesus' righteousness striking tension with sin in your heart? Bring it to Jesus - repent, believe!5. Who has 'something against you?' Go, be reconciled to them.
