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?
