Ever feel like the world is falling apart—and you have no idea where to start?
This week, Melody Workman reminds us that real change doesn’t come from having all the answers; it comes from showing up with compassion and a willingness to act.
Jesus didn’t shame people into change. He saw them—confused, hurting, overlooked—and had compassion. That’s the kind of person we’re invited to be.
The mission isn’t somewhere “out there.” It’s here. It’s now. And it might just start with you.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—but something still feels off? Like you’re surviving, but not really living?
In this week’s message, Pastor Fredo Ramos shares powerful stories of people who were desperate for change—and the surprising ways they found it. Through heartbreak, skepticism, and pain, we often build walls to protect ourselves… but what if those walls are actually blocking us from something deeper?
This isn’t a sermon about having it all together. It’s about what happens when we finally stop pretending and get real with our need. Whether you’re feeling stuck, skeptical, or just tired of going through the motions—this one’s for you.

What if the biggest thing holding you back is your attachment to the old way of doing things? This week, Vivi Diaz brings a timely message about how meaningful growth often starts with change—and why that change can be so hard. Whether you're stepping into a new season, stuck in old habits, or just trying to figure out what’s next, this message will challenge you to reflect, release, and move forward.
Join us for a conversation about what it looks like to actually make room for something new—and why that might be exactly what you’ve been needing.
Welcome to Episode 15 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses and centers you during your time of facing fear with the strength of God.
What if the chaos in your life wasn’t punishment—but a turning point?
In this message, Pastor Adam Workman shares a story about a group of friends caught in an unexpected storm, and what happened next might surprise you. Whether you’re dealing with frustration, fear, or just trying to keep it together when life feels like too much, this talk will challenge how you see your struggles—and where you turn when things go sideways.
If you’ve ever asked questions like:
Why is this happening to me?
Am I being punished?
Can I actually trust that things will be okay?

Welcome to Episode 14 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you as you take some time to let go of the things weighing you down and embrace the freedom in Christ.
We all face pain—whether it’s loss, illness, anxiety, or feeling completely alone. The real question is: What do we turn to when we’re suffering?
In today’s message, Pastor Will Yih opens up about how even the deepest pain doesn’t have to lead to isolation. Through a story of someone cast out from society and met with radical compassion, we’re reminded that healing often begins not with answers—but with presence, courage, and taking that first step toward something (or someone) greater than the pain.
Whether you’ve been wrestling with grief, burnout, or just trying to make sense of life, this is a message that meets you where you are.

Welcome to Episode 13 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you as you take some time to converse with God who loves and listens to us.
What does it mean to be wise in today’s world? In this thought-provoking talk, Pastor Alfredo Ramos unpacks a timeless principle: we all build our lives on something—but not everything holds up when life gets tough. From the outside, things might look strong, but the real test comes in the storms we face.
This message isn’t about rules—it’s about resilience. It’s about asking deeper questions: Where are you investing your energy? What’s driving your decisions? And how can you build something that actually lasts?

What if the right path in life isn’t the obvious one? In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown explores how the choices we make—what we follow, who we trust, and how we define truth—can quietly shape our future in ways we don’t always see coming. If you've ever felt torn between what’s popular and what’s meaningful, or wondered how to recognize real wisdom in a noisy world, this talk is for you.

Welcome to Episode 11 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you on what it looks like to practice thankfulness, even in the hard times.
Life is full of hard choices, confusing relationships, and spiritual questions — and we don’t have to navigate any of it alone.

Whether you’re facing a big decision, dealing with a difficult person, or just unsure of what God is doing in your life, this message will encourage you to seek wisdom that’s not just smart — but spirit-filled.

Welcome to Episode 10 of Coram Deo, which is Latin for 'before God' or 'in the presence of God'. We hope this blesses you and centers you on what it looks like to put down judgment and embrace grace.
Most people confuse being critical with being wise. In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown breaks down the difference between sharp thinking and harsh judgment. Using everyday examples, he offers tools to help you understand yourself more honestly, evaluate situations more clearly, and approach people with grace—even when they’re difficult.
If you want to be a person who sees the truth without becoming cynical, who offers feedback that helps rather than hurts—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
Learn the mindset that leads to better choices and stronger human connection.

In today’s reflection, Pastor Fredo meditates on Psalm 150, the final psalm that exhorts all of creation to praise God with everything they have. The psalmist declares that God is worthy of all praise, and we are called to worship Him with every instrument and with all our being. Reflect on the ways you can offer praise to God and join Pastor Fredo in prayer, giving God the highest praise for His greatness.
