The Journey Church family is grieving after the loss of Pastor Joshua R. Rene, known for his dedication to his family, church, and faith.
Members gathered Sunday for a heartfelt worship service themed around finding faith during life’s valleys.
Lead Pastor Scott Baugh expressed how much Rene meant to the congregation, especially highlighting his friendship and joyful spirit.
“It just doesn’t feel real,”
Baugh said in the video.
“I don’t know what to say. For so many of you, he was Pastor Josh, and he was an amazing pastor.”
“But to me, he was just Josh. He was a friend, as close as a brother to me for 10 years.”
The church took time to honor Rene’s legacy and to pray for his family, lifting up the values of love and service he modeled.

Baugh said through tears during the worship service.
“The one thing about Josh was that he was always joyful, always had faith.”
“One of the most amazing things that has struck me through this whole thing is to see the outpouring on social media and phone calls.”
The accident occurred when Rene’s motorcycle was struck by a vehicle, leading to his tragic passing at the scene.
“As a church community we are heartbroken over the loss of our beloved Pastor Josh,”
the church stated.
“Please pray with us for the Rene family.”
One message of comfort shared online reflected biblical hope:
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I shall set you over much; enter the joy of your Lord.'”
As we pray for his family, let us hold fast to the promise that faith, family, and God’s love will carry us through every valley.

- Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the slain supreme leader, to lead amid war with Israel and America.
- The secretive cleric, tied to Revolutionary Guard crackdowns, may push nuclear weapons and harden oppression.
- President Trump condemns the hereditary rule, vowing U.S. influence to protect allies like biblical Israel.
Iran has installed Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei as its new supreme leader following his father’s death in the escalating Middle East conflict.
This dynastic shift defies the 1979 Revolution’s anti-monarchy roots, drawing criticism yet support from hardliners amid missile barrages on Israel and Gulf states.
The 56-year-old, never in elected office, commands military, judiciary, and nuclear policy in a regime rooted in Shiite clerical control.
His ties to Basij forces during the 2009 Green Movement suppression signal deeper repression, as experts warn of revenge against Israel, America, and Iranian society.
U.S. strikes damaged nuclear sites, but Iran retains near-weapons-grade uranium under his authority, heightening biblical threats to God’s chosen land.
Israel views him as a target; Hezbollah and Revolutionary Guard back him as regional chaos displaces thousands and claims lives across borders.
Christian patriots must rally behind leaders defending freedom, echoing Psalm 122:6 to pray for Jerusalem’s peace against tyrannical foes.
Stand firm for faith, family, and our allies—support policies prioritizing Judeo-Christian values and strong defense.

They discussed expanded ship services echoing biblical compassion.
“Prime Minister Marape expressed strong enthusiasm for this vision.”
“He reaffirmed his long-standing support for ship-based services that bring healthcare, training, and development directly to coastal and riverine communities.”

- Pete Hegseth affirms U.S. troops protected by Almighty God’s providence against Iran.
- Soldiers urged to embrace faith facing religious fanatics’ nuclear Armageddon quest.
- Chaplain corps revived to fortify warriors’ connection to God.
Secretary Pete Hegseth boldly declared the Iran conflict carries a religious dimension, vital for our patriotic defenders.
He pivots from jihadist zealots to Christian reliance on divine strength.
“Obviously, we’re fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon; but from my perspective, obviously I’m a man of faith who encourages our troops to lean into their faith, rely on God. There’s no atheists in foxholes. Your mortality is right on front of you.”
“I remember prayer, for me, on combat missions, how important that was.”
Faith anchors President Trump and steels service members beyond worldly self-esteem platitudes.
“They need a connection with their almighty God in these moments, and I’m proud of how our troops are conducting themselves, and I pray for them every day.”
Shia Twelver eschatology fuels Iran’s Mahdi-driven nuclear pursuits, invoked by figures like Ahmadinejad.
Unfounded complaints from Military Religious Freedom Foundation allege forced eschatology briefings, including claims of Trump as anointed for Armageddon.
Hegseth once expressed hope for Temple Mount restoration, possible by God’s miracle despite historic skepticism from church fathers like Jerome.
Sen. Lindsey Graham rightly labels it a religious war against terrorists targeting Christians and Jews.
In CREC circles, postmillennial views prevail per pastor Douglas Wilson.
