This month we take the time to express our deep gratitude for the incredible pastors who dedicate their lives to leading, serving and shepherding their congregations.
00:03:26.131 --> 00:03:27.895
Pastors are not just spiritual leaders.
00:03:27.895 --> 00:03:32.688
They're mentors, counselors, prayer warriors and often unsung heroes in our community.
00:03:32.688 --> 00:03:36.401
The work that they do often goes beyond Sunday sermons.
00:03:36.401 --> 00:03:49.050
From visiting the sick and comforting those who are grieving to being a steady presence in times of uncertainty, pastors invest their hearts, time and energy into building the spiritual health of their congregations.
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:54.587
It's a calling that requires sacrifice, faith and unshakable commitment to God's purpose.
00:03:54.587 --> 00:04:04.651
Today we celebrate and thank these spiritual leaders for their relentless service, for their prayers and the countless ways they've impacted the lives of those who they serve.
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.432
If you're listening today, we encourage you to take this time this month to show appreciation to your pastor.
00:04:10.432 --> 00:04:15.846
Whether through a kind word, a prayer or a note of encouragement, it can mean more than you know.
00:04:15.846 --> 00:04:20.891
Thank you to all the pastors who answer the call with love, humility and grace.
00:04:20.891 --> 00:04:25.391
We honor and appreciate you not just this month, but every day of the year.
00:04:25.391 --> 00:04:31.444
To kick things off, I'd like to give a shout out to Pastor Gene and Pastor Gino at Calvary Chapel in Hanford.
00:04:31.444 --> 00:04:36.423
I've only been attending about a year, but I'm moved by their messages and compassion.
00:04:36.423 --> 00:04:42.704
I'd also like to give a special shout out to Pastor Gary Nealon, former pastor of Hanford First Baptist Church.
00:04:42.704 --> 00:04:46.252
He's been a great friend, neighbor and pastor to my family.
00:04:46.252 --> 00:04:47.706
Plus, he's a fan of the show.
00:04:47.706 --> 00:04:51.370
Here's what some of my listeners had to say about their pastors.
00:04:54.002 --> 00:05:11.389
October is Pastor Appreciation Month and here in the Valley we are so lucky to have some great pastors in our community, and not only do they minister at their own churches but they minister community-wide.
00:05:11.389 --> 00:05:39.927
And I just wanted to give a shout-out to those that have affected my life or encouraged me along the way David Dack and Frank Hodel, chris Correa and Marcus Ellis and my own pastor, ricky Hemi, who has just done a great thing in bringing great teaching and leadership to South Valley.
00:05:39.927 --> 00:05:59.382
Great teaching and leadership to South Valley for Peter Anderson over at First Baptist Hanford for his great teaching and leadership at his church.
00:05:59.382 --> 00:06:00.244
Thank you all for all you do.
00:06:00.244 --> 00:06:05.634

00:06:46.244 --> 00:06:48.930
Peter Anderson in Hanford, hanford First Baptist.
00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:53.547
He's come in a few years ago and really helped shape a lot of what's gone on over there.
00:06:53.547 --> 00:07:03.194
Marcus Veles went to high school with him, just seeing him develop and just return to a great father, a great pastor, just such an amazing man.

It was another week and another blowout win for Hanford High, as they took down Tulare Western 42-7 on Thursday.
00:07:48.759 --> 00:08:07.514
