In sixteenth-century Mexico, a fearless young woman strives to uncover the secrets her mother kept as the last Aztec empress in a sweeping historical epic by the author of Daughter of Fire. Tenochtitlan, 1551. Thirty years after the Spanish Conquest destroyed everything she loved, the last Aztec empress has passed and left behind a pristine yet tenuous legacy for her children. As her last will and testament is read out, her daughter Isabel suspects that another account of her mother's life may exist, hidden away, chapter by chapter, in the Valley of Mexico. Following each clue, Isabel is determined to find out who her mother really was and to discover the secrets she buried in order to survive. Joined by her siblings and a handsome young cook named Juan, Isabel embarks on a perilous journey to piece together the past―a journey that will force the party to brave the brutal viceroyal court, face fearsome legends in mystical chinampas, and trek through desert, fire, and snow. As Isabel's feelings for Juan grow, she confronts everything she thought she knew about her Spanish father, her empress mother, and herself. Facing everything from the tunnels of ancient pyramids to the summit of an active volcano, Isabel will meet every challenge to fulfill an epic quest for the truth. #1 On Amazon! get your copy!

Turning Tragedy into Transformation with Patricia Muirhead is a truly inspirational episode of the Business Awards Show. When Patricia lost her daughter Ashdon to suicide in 2014, she made a decision that would change hundreds of young lives — she channelled her grief into action. Consequently, she became founder and CEO of the Ashdon Jazz Academy, a South London charity supporting young women aged 11–21 with their mental health and personal development. Patricia shares the deeply personal story behind the charity's founding, and how her background as an assistant headteacher shaped her belief that schools alone can't meet young people's emotional needs. She walks us through the programmes the Academy delivers — from one-to-one mentoring and weekly "Girls Night" drop-ins, to school workshops covering everything from journaling and meditation to entrepreneurship and life skills. We also hear about the funding realities of running a grassroots charity. She explains why corporate partnerships could be a game-changer, and reveals her big dream: a dedicated Academy hub that's truly a safe space for the young women they serve. Patricia also reflects on winning the Gold Award for Charity Champion at the 2025 Best Business Women Awards. Essentially, it proved what third-party recognition really means when you're doing important, often invisible work. It also gives her a fantastic platform to be Charity of the Year at this Year's Awards Gala Evening. If you'd like to donate, volunteer as a mentor, or explore a corporate partnership with the Ashdon Jazz Academy, details are in the links below.   About Patricia Patricia Muirhead is an author, speaker, and transformational mentor dedicated to empowering women to rise beyond adversity and step confidently into their purpose.

Patricia also provides dedicated support for parents grieving the loss of a child. Having experienced profound personal loss herself, she offers compassionate mentoring to help bereaved parents process grief, rediscover strength, and find hope beyond devastating adversity.

VALLEY ON THE BIG 550 2 23 by

Hard times are no respecter of persons, we all experience these, and like my friend, Sarah Freymuth points out, there are no instructions for times like these and no platitudes or forced positivity will bring us the peace we crave. Sarah is the author of All the Hard Things: 50 Days Through the Valley and is offering truth to help reinforce our faith in God's intimate goodness. She writes:“When we stare into a cavern of grief from the loss of a beloved one, or a medical diagnosis with a wicked track history, we're faced with a faith that either holds up or unfolds, collapses or expands. It can get muddy when the platitudes we've held don't seem to hold up under the sheer force of what's threatening to knock us down.”Sarah Freymuth is the content and storytelling manager for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and she writes for numerous platforms, including Proverbs 31 Ministries, YouVersion, (in)Courage, and She Reads Truth. Sarah loves unearthing God's goodness in places that don't feel good, with a heart especially for faith and mental health. She enjoys a simple Wisconsin life by Lake Michigan with her husband, Eric, and Beaglier pup, Alfie Hitchcock.

When he moved back into his mother's house, he expected inconvenience — not history.The neighborhood sat in a quiet valley below a mountain pass, built over land that had been farmed, replanted, and developed for generations. Nothing about the subdivision suggested unfinished business. But the house had a pattern — a voice in the dark, a figure drifting down the stairs, violent crashes in rooms where nothing had fallen.For years, it was easier to believe the disturbances were random. Until he began looking at the land itself.What he found didn't explain everything — but it changed the way the house felt. The activity no longer seemed personal. It felt rooted.

People's impression of cowboys is largely due to Hollywood. Actors like John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Clint Eastwood cemented the image of the rugged, handsome, White cowboys throughout their films. While it made for good movies, it's not entirely accurate to how the West looked at the time. There's plenty of history on vaqueros, or Mexican cowboys, in the West, but one demographic left their prints on Arizona history with their stories vastly untold: Black cowboys This week on Valley 101, we answer the question: Were there Black cowboys in Arizona?  ⁠Submit your question⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ about Phoenix!

From “In the Beginning” to Amen // Strategies of the Enemy (Exodus) There are Five Strategies I Want to Look at: (I'm sure there are others too) 1. DiscouragementDiscouraged by CircumstancesExodus 6:9 (NLT)“So Moses told the people of Israel what the LORD had said, but they refused to listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery.” Discouraged by the EnemyExodus 13:17-18 (NLT)“When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” Discouraged by One AnotherNumbers 32:7-9 (NIV)“Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them? This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land. After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them.” Antidote: Encourage and Build UpHebrews 3:13 (ESV)"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today,' so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)"...Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”       2. DistractionAntidote: Stay FocusedHebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.” 3. Disruption/DivisionAntidote: Walk in Unity1 Corinthians 1:10 (NIV)“I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.” Philippians 2:2 (NIV)“Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” Colossians 3:13-14 (NV)“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” 4. DeceptionAntidote: Hold Fast to TruthJohn 8:32 (NIV)“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 17:17 (NIV)“Jesus said, ‘Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth'.” Psalm 51:6 (ESV)“Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” 5. DestructionAntidote: Choose LifeProverbs 14:2 (NIV)“There is a way that seems right to man, but the end of it is destruction.” Acts 2:21 (NLT)“But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 2 Samuel 22:2 (ESV)“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer."

What do you do when the giant in front of you feels impossible to defeat? On Family Sunday at Family Church, we gathered kids and adults together to revisit one of the most powerful stories in Scripture — David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17. Through a fun and unforgettable live illustration, we were reminded that: Giants don't disappear just because we ignore them. You can't fight spiritual battles with worldly methods. Preparation happens in private before victory happens in public. Sometimes God removes the giant… and sometimes He gives you strength to face it. Parents, kids, families — this message is for all of us. Whether your giant is fear, anxiety, finances, marriage struggles, parenting challenges, or something no one else sees, the battle belongs to the Lord. We are called to fight in the name of Jesus — not in our own strength. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs strength to face their giant today. #FamilyChurch #DavidAndGoliath #FacingGiants #ChildlikeFaith #faithinaction 00:00 – Family Sunday Introduction 01:00 – Why Jesus Welcomes Children 02:00 – Setting Up the Story of David & Goliath 03:00 – The 40-Day Standoff 04:00 – David Arrives on the Scene 05:00 – Saul's Armor Doesn't Fit  07:30 – Five Smooth Stones 08:30 – Meet Goliath (Live Illustration) 11:00 – David's Bold Declaration 13:00 – The Battle in the Valley 14:30 – What Giants Look Like Today 15:30 – You Can't Fight Like the World 17:30 – Preparation in Private 19:30 – Pray From the Heart 20:00 – Family Prayer Time 21:00 – Sometimes God Removes the Giant 22:00 – Closing Prayer

Sermon for February 15, 2026

Sermon Series: Tune In and Hear GodSunday morning sermon with Pastor Gary Clouse from Valley Community Church in El Monte, CA.Note: This message is available in both audio and video formats on our website. Notes are also available in PDF format.

David was anointed king in 1 Samuel 16, but his calling wasn't activated in a palace—it was released in a valley. In 1 Samuel 17, what began as an ordinary errand led David to the Valley of Elah, where facing Goliath became the defining moment that launched him into God's purpose for his life. So often, we try to avoid the valleys—the uncomfortable seasons, difficult obedience, and challenging moments—yet those very places may be where God intends to release what He has already placed inside us. In this message, we explore how avoiding the valley can delay our calling, and how stepping into it may be the key to walking fully in God's purpose today.

In a world obsessed with self-discovery, many people cycle through different phases trying to figure out who they really are. The answer isn't found in fashion trends or self-help mantras, but in understanding one fundamental question: Who is your shepherd? Christianity isn't just a part of us—it IS us, as we are made in the image of God. When we truly make the Lord our shepherd, as described in Psalm 23, we surrender control and receive His complete provision, soul restoration, and guidance through life's valleys. This requires dying to ourselves daily and trusting God's leadership in every area of our lives. Our true identity is found not in worldly pursuits, but in Christ, who has carved our authentic name on a white stone that represents who we were created to be before any lies or trauma touched our lives.Prayers from sermon | The Path to Green Pastures:·       The Lord Is My Shepherd…Declaration #1: The Lord is MY Shepherd. I give him all control and authority over my life. Forgive me for trying to take the lead when I should be following. Amen·       I Have All That I Need – He let's me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams…Declaration #2: God, I thank you that your word says that you will supply all of my need according to your riches in glory. I have all that I need in Your care. Since you have been faithful to a thousand generations and because you are the same yesterday, today, and forever I can trust that you will be faithful to me and will never leave me or forsake me. Amen·       He Restores My Soul/Leads in Paths of Righteousness…Declaration #3: God, I pray You restore my soul. Give me rest that only You can give. Lead me in pursuit of being more like You. I want more of You in my life.·       Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death I will fear no evil. Your rod and staff comfort me…Declaration #4: God, I know I am your child. I need You in my valley moments. I know these times will shape me. I know this is not meaningless. I trust You, even when I don't understand it. I know that I can't be separated from Your love. Amen·       You Anoint My Head with Oil, My Cup Overflows, Surely Goodness & Mercy Shall Follow Me, I Shall Dwell in the House of the Lord Forever…Declaration #5: Dear Jesus. Forgive me of my sins. Come into my life and help me follow You. I believe that you died, and you were raised from the dead. I surrender myself to you. Lead me now, and into eternity. Amen.

When I was a new VP of Marketing I got a painful lesson of who my PR (Public Relations) agency actually worked for. Later I realized that it was true for all of my external vendors. And much later I realized what I really should have been asking them to do. The lessons still apply even though AI Agents will upend all of this and PR will end up being one of the many businesses that will no longer exist in its current form. Here's why.

In Beverly Hills, Amanda thinks Dorit outsourced her financial well being to a man and she opens up to Erika about her “cult” which proves to be underwhelming. Dorit, Rachel and Kyle are having a Hot Girl Summer in the Hamptons. Denise sits down with Erika and Sutton as they share their stories. We appreciated both Erika and Denise being vulnerable. In The Valley, MJ hosts a twilight showing that comes with slo-Mo, arguments and a failed reconciliation. Come judge with us!

It's been a busy week on Bravo, and Dylan is back for another Friday episode recapping all the action. We kick things off with the new about The Valley's upcoming third season, and how we're feeling about Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent joining the cast. Then, the biggest story of the week is Kyle and Amanda's cursed visit to Apology Dune on Summer House, and it seems like their marriage has truly reached its end point. After that, Dylan turns his focus to part one of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, featuring Wendy's post-arrest footage, and a hilarious James Earl Jones moment. Later in the episode, Dylan gets into Erika and Kyle's Amanda rehab project on RHOBH, and the Southern Charm cast's trip to Mexico. We finish things off with a recap of this week's Traitors episode, and some predictions for next week's finale. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lara and Carey go forth into a DOOZY of a penultimate Vanderpump Rules season twelve recap, but first they have a big laundry list to get through. They react to the brand new trailer for season three of The Valley, and give their verdict on whether or not it looks like a flop. Plus, the official reason for Brandi Glanville's face parasite is REVEALED.They also discuss “Love Story: JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette,” Sarah Pidgeon's star power, Naomi Watts's rindom turn as Jackie O, and how it stacks up to “The Crown.” Then, a lengthy dive into Netflix's new and often shocking “America's Next Top Model” commences, featuring The Shell formerly known as Tyra Banks, Shandi, Dani, Keenyah, Miss J, and more.On VPR, the countdown to Pride continues, as Venus prepares his magnum opus of hosting the fabled SUR Pride brunch; Natalie prepares to rehearse for a live Pride performance of her song “Passenger.” Angelica returns from Houston with new boobs and a new man but begins to misfire over Shayne's renewed interest in Natalie. Natalie and Jason have a production-arranged date at a harrowing paint zone in DTLA. Chris begins to get cold feet over committing to Audrey. Marcus confides in Venus about Kim's conscious uncoupling with birth control, Natalie chooses not to pursue things further with Shayne or Jason. Finally, Audrey's big comedy debut arrives, as she rindomly decides to standup. Her roast of her colleagues veers into the “too far” zone, though, when she drills into Angelica's chaos and “emotional homelessness.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How do we model the way God brings each of us into His family? How can we faithfully support families who choose to grow their families through fostering or adoption?For Pastor Andrew Hopper, adopting a child with special needs has opened his eyes to a deeper understanding of what it means for each of us to be adopted into the family of God. Through navigating complex medical needs, the pain often associated with adoption, and the work of shaping a church culture that actively supports adoptive and foster families, Andrew has seen firsthand how God reveals the gospel through adoption and foster care. In his book Chosen: Building Your Family the Way God Builds His, he offers a practical and compelling framework for how churches can become places of genuine care and support for families who foster or adopt.In this conversation, Davey and Andrew explore what it looks like to give our children what they truly need—even when it doesn't align with our expectations, the unique challenges of parenting a child with medical needs, and how the church can learn to be “rope holders”: people who provide meaningful, practical support to those walking the road of adoption and foster care.If your family has been built through adoption or fostering, or if you want to learn how to better care for a family that has, this episode offers practical insight into embracing adoption and foster care as acts of faith, mission, and ministry.
