Nothing Left: Love Him Ever More

On air, he is DJ Bolero. Warm, steady, and always present.Off air, there were seasons Bryan Calzado could barely get out of bed. Seasons of anxiety and depression that nobody saw, until music found him, or more accurately, until he let it find him again.As a broadcaster, songwriter, choir conductor, and mentor to the Junior Parish Choir at the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice in Quezon City, Bryan has built a life around helping others discover and offer their gifts. But behind that calling is a deeply honest story about what it means to offer something to God when you're not sure you have anything left to give.In this episode of JoshFriends, Bryan reflects on Day 7 of Love Him Ever More by Fr. Joe Laramie, SJ, a nine-day personal retreat built on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola and the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the heart of his reflection is a single question from the book:"What are some of the gifts in your life? Which of these gifts is easiest for you to offer to the Lord?"Woven through his story is the life of St. Anthony of Padua, whose feast day falls this Thursday, June 13, the patron of lost things, and a saint who only found his true calling by surrendering his own plans entirely.For choir members, composers, music ministers, and anyone who has ever wondered if their broken, imperfect offering is still worth giving, this episode is for you.Because what is lost can be found. And the mission begins not someday. It begins now.📚 Love Him Ever More by Fr. Joe Laramie, SJ is available through JesCom Exclusives at jescom.ph/josh.📖 Begin your nine-day retreat today. All you need is an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to show up.

Ang Ngiti at ang Bigat: Inay

You can't always tell what someone is carrying just by looking at their smile.May Cu is known by those around her as warm, bubbly, and always smiling. As a Medical Assistant, she spends her days caring for others. As a mother of three, she gives everything she has to her children.But in the middle of all that giving, she carries one of the heaviest kinds of grief. Over a short period of time, several members of her family were lost to acts of violence in her home province. And the fear hasn't ended — because those responsible have never been brought to justice.Still, she shows up. She keeps smiling. Because three children are counting on her, and that is not something she can set down.In this episode of JoshFriends, May speaks honestly about grief, fear, and the kind of strength that doesn't always look like strength. And woven through her reflection is Inay by Fr. Arnel Aquino, SJ — a song not just for moments of worship, but for the quiet nights when you need to be reminded that you are held, that you are loved, and that you are not alone.This May, in the month of Mary, we reflect on what it means to be a mother. And what it means to need one.- Stream Inay by Fr. Arnel Aquino, SJ on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major DSPs.- Bring it to your choir and community — music sheet available at jescom.ph/josh under JesCom Exclusives.- Explore more books, music, and resources at jescom.ph/josh.

Navigating Without a Map: Stella Maris

There's a difference between being in the spotlight and being the reason the spotlight exists.In this episode of JoshFriends, we sit with Margarita Claudette Bautista Galura — Executive Director of COSMIC Philippines, Corporate Secretary of the Philippine Madrigal Singers Music Inc. and the Andrea O. Veneracion Sing Philippines Foundation, former performing member of the Philippine Madrigal Singers, and one of the quiet, steady forces behind some of the country's most respected musical communities.She reflects on a life spent navigating — concert tours across three continents, years of administrative leadership, and the ongoing work of sustaining choral and musical communities that shape generations of Filipino artists and faith communities.Woven through her reflection is Stella Maris by Bukas Palad Music Ministry — a song for those who serve through music, and need a fixed point when the waters get rough.This May, the month of Mary, we're reminded that the most enduring kind of leadership doesn't always stand at the front. Sometimes it holds everything together from behind — steady, faithful, and quietly lit by something that doesn't fade.Whether you're a choir member, a worship musician, a music director, or simply someone who shows up Sunday after Sunday to help the community sing — this episode is your reflection for the month.🎵 Stream Stella Maris by Bukas Palad on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major DSPs.📄 Bring it to your choir — song sheet available at jescom.ph/josh under JesCom Exclusives.📚 Looking for reads this season?
