Hosted by Elizabeth Talbot and guest speaker Pastor Manuel Arteaga, this series will be the accompaniment to Talbot’s newest book “Storms and Deserts“. They will revisit biblical stories of actual fierce tempests and scorching wildernesses that developed into stories of emotional and spiritual turmoil for those who went through them.

Patrick Hernan Talbot, Elizabeth’s husband of twenty-five years, passed away on December 5, 2025 after many years of battling a rare neurological disease called PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). Patrick died in peace and with the full assurance of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Patrick was a passionate preacher of the grace of God and a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. He had a Master’s degree in Religion and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy. He also authored several books as he devoted himself to spreading the good news of eternal life through the perfect life, death and resurrection of Jesus on our behalf. His legacy on the theological topic of “Justification by Faith” is known throughout the world and God has used his preaching, teaching and writing to bring many to know the gospel.
Patrick will be greatly missed and we long for the Second Coming of Jesus when he will rise from the dead to eternal life by the grace of God, to live forever without pain, suffering, disease or death due the sacrifice of our Lord on our behalf.
We invite all of you to the celebration of his life to be held on January 31, 2026 at the Yucaipa Valley Spanish SDA church. The address is 12504 Fourth St., Yucaipa, CA 92399. This will be a bilingual (English & Spanish) memorial service. We hope to see you there.

“Storms and Deserts” is the newest book by Elizabeth Talbot. It revisits biblical stories of actual fierce tempests and scorching wildernesses that developed into stories of emotional and spiritual turmoil for those who went through them. And yet in the midst of those crises, God revealed Himself to His children in unprecedented ways. We all struggle with major questions and pain. This is why our souls yearn for a better world without suffering, promised for those who accept Jesus as their Savior (see Revelation 21:4). But until then, while we still face the storms and conflicts of life here and now, God comes to us with compassion and grace. He reveals Himself to us in true and real ways, ministering to our souls and healing our wounds with a love and care that surpass our understanding, little by little changing our image of who He is.
