Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Devan addressed the issue of compartmentalizing faith, a common tendency to separate our spiritual lives from our daily activities. Using Acts 6:1-7 as a foundation, he examined how the early church appointed Stephen and others to serve in practical roles while remaining deeply connected to their faith. The message highlighted the importance of character over career, urging us to integrate our faith into every aspect of life, from work to personal relationships. We were challenged to transition from being mere "believers" to true "disciples" of Jesus, allowing our faith to influence our decisions and actions throughout the week, not just on Sundays. The sermon called us to live an integrated, mission-driven life, following the example of Stephen, who demonstrated that our spiritual life should animate everything we do.
