S4 Ep. 91 // Jabin Chavez on Things We Need To Get Back To As Leaders

I’m joined for this conversation by Pastor Jabin Chavez. If you’ve been in the church world for very long, I’m sure you’re familiar with him, but for years Jabin has been serving churches all over the country. He is probably best known as a worship pastor and gifted communicator. Still, my favorite thing about Jabin, as I’ve gotten to know him over the years, is his heart for the local church. He’s also served as a youth and young adult pastor, an intern director, creative director, and even as a janitor! Anything he can do to serve, he’s all in. In 2018, he and his wife Shanen took on a new challenge… they launched City Light Church in Las Vegas, Nevada. It has been a thriving young church, but they haven’t been immune to the challenges that 2020 brought all of us. I loved getting to talk through some of those with him, but there are specific values that we shouldn’t let slip away and things that we need to fight for. In saying that, our big question this week is, “In our desire to move church forward, what are the things that we need to get back to?” Some of the other questions that we cover in our conversation are: What are your thoughts on people leaving? What can people do that would be meaningful and valuable in holding their pastor’s arms up? What are some values that are important for our churches today? What is your biggest prayer for the local church today? I love any opportunity that I get to sit down with a lead pastor and hear things from their perspective, so I pray that this gives you some insight into a pastor’s mind in this season and helps remind you of some of the foundational pieces we need as leaders. Run strong for the Kingdom, Brandon After the episode: Are there areas in your life that you’ve maybe let slip a little and you need to get back to? How is your prayer life right now? Are you praying for your teams? Your pastors? Your church? SUBSCRIBE COMMENT LIKE & SHARE We want you in our tribe!
