Guest Speaker – Ashley Goldsmith
Topic: Success the Jesus Way

As human beings living in this world, we can fall into the trap of the American hustle culture that defines our success in life by metrics of influence, accomplishments, and the perception of people.

But how does Jesus define success?

If He is God over my entire life, what implications does that have for the way I conduct myself in every area of life? Join us to set the stage for a successful 2025 The Jesus Way!

CBWC Fresno Luncheon - Busyness and Rest with Dorina Lazo Gilmore
2025-02-18 11:45 - 13:00 | Pardini’s Catering, 2257 W. Shaw, Fresno, CA, 93711, United States
When people ask how we are doing, a common response is ?busy.?
We wear our busyness like a badge of honor. Somehow we have convinced ourselves that rest is wasteful and there?s no time for it. God gives us rest as a regular invitation into His Presence. This message is designed to encourage weary mamas, stressed-out leaders, and people from all walks of life who want to explore different types of rest. Time: Doors Open 11:30

Life is full of crossroads?decisions that shape our businesses, homes, relationships, and careers. But what if the key to true success isn?t in striving to control the outcome, but in surrendering to where God is leading?

In this talk, we?ll explore how faith isn?t just a Sunday practice, but the guiding force that brings clarity to our direction. When we trust God?s plan, even when the path feels uncertain, we will always arrive exactly where He wants us to be?full of purpose, peace, and sacred alignment.

Let?s step boldly into His plan and watch Him unfold something greater than we ever imagined!

Join Our Fall Hebrews Bible Study - October 2nd – November 13th
2025-10-02 07:00 - 20:00 | CA
Starting Thursday, October 2nd – November 13th, we will gather each week to study the Book of Hebrews together. The study will be held via Zoom. This will be a 7-week journey of encouragement, learning, and prayer.
■ Time: Thursdays, 7:00–8:00 AM
■ Focus: The Book of Hebrews
Study Format:
– Week 1: Meet & Greet + Chapter 1
– Weeks 2–7: Covering two chapters per week
– Each week, 3 study questions will be provided to guide our conversation through an inductive approach:
1. What does it say?
2. What does it mean?
3. What does it mean to me? (application)
We will also set aside time each week to pray for one another.
■ Why Hebrews?
The Book of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus is greater than angels, Moses, and the old covenant priests—He is the ultimate High Priest who gave Himself as the perfect sacrifice once for all. It calls us to hold fast to hope, trust God by faith, and confidently draw near to Him because of Christ’s finished work on the cross.
We’d love for you to join us in this 7-week study as we grow in understanding and in faith together.

Title: Forgiving Forward
We Are Most Like Jesus When We Forgive Like Jesus
Speaker: Carole Blomgren, Forgiving Forward Coach
Bio: At seven, Carole Blomgren accepted Jesus, beginning a lifelong faith journey. Despite childhood struggles, her desire to know Christ deepened. In 2000, Dr. Bruce Wilkinson’s teachings, the film Amazing Grace, and scriptures like Isaiah 61 inspired her toward healing and purpose. Married 30 years with three children, she felt unfulfilled. In April 2011, she attended a Pregnancy Care Center banquet where Dr. Wilkinson was speaking, hoping to share her burden. Despite a large crowd, she got a moment with him. His words “you have unforgiveness” changed her life. He connected her with Dr. Bruce and Toni Hebel, who became mentors and friends, inviting her to serve as a national Forgiveness Coach and prayer team member.

Redeemed and Restored – Women Rising in Christ
Speaker: Three Person Panel

Vikki Luna, Lighthouse Recovery Program Founder
Lana Foote, Breaking Free Revival Center Pastor
Gerry Brenneman, Evangel Home Interim Executive Director

DESCRIPTION: You know, we all need a helping hand sometimes. And Scripture reminds us why:
“For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”— Galatians 5:14
Sometimes our neighbors just need to be reminded that with Jesus, there’s always hope. We’re so blessed in our community to have ministries that live out that truth—offering prayer, encouragement, and a loving hand to those walking through difficult seasons.
We get to hear from Pastor Lana Foote, Gerre Brenneman, and Vikki Luna, who lead Breaking Free Revival Center, Evangel Home, and Lighthouse Recovery Center. Each of these women and their ministries are doing incredible work to bring healing, freedom, and new life through Christ. We have been honored to have these three ministries represented at our luncheons for the last 12months. This had been possible due to generous sponsors in our community. Come listen and learn how your organization could qualify to receive a scholarship, or consider sponsoring someone yourself.
