Jabin Chavez brings humor, heart, and deep wisdom to this episode as he joins Levi and Jennie Lusko for a conversation about life, ministry, and the unexpected twists of following God’s call. From growing up in New Mexico to planting a thriving church in the heat of Las Vegas, Jabin opens up about his personal journey of faith, the challenges of portable church life, and the miracles that paved the way. He shares the story of how God spoke to him about moving to Vegas, his experiences juggling worship leading and preaching, and how his new book was born out of a powerful sermon series.
Along the way, the three discuss hilarious late-night pastor hangouts, the beauty of family and tradition, and why cold plunges and saunas are non-negotiables. Packed with practical insights for leaders, laugh-out-loud moments, and heartfelt reflections, this episode will inspire you to embrace the hills and valleys of your own journey.
