How do experiences from different generations influence leadership styles in the church?

Friends, in this bonus interview by Amy Ayala, I get the privilege to have a conversation with someone who is not only a wonderful teacher and preacher, but also my father, Pastor Pancho Juarez. My dad has had a very unique journey as an immigrant and a pastor in the United States. He has gone through many challenges and triumphs while leading a church in East Los Angeles, The Ark Montebello.

We discuss the importance of cultural identity, and also reflect on the sacrifices made in ministry. One of the highlights of our conversation is when we get to discuss the generational legacy of faith and resilience that my dad has modeled as the leader in our family. We also touch on the impact that our shared experiences have had on our leadership styles and community-building efforts.

Our goal is to encourage future generations of leaders, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds, to embrace their unique stories and continue their calling with tenacity and faith.

Key Topics:

The unique journey of immigrant pastors in the U.S.
Challenges and triumphs of church leadership
The importance of cultural identity in ministry
Generational legacy of faith and resilience
Impact of experiences on leadership styles
Encouragement for future generations of leaders

Friends, we want you to embrace your unique story and continue your calling with unwavering faith and resilience. Let us know where you’re at on your remarkable journey of faith by tagging Pastor Pancho @thearkmontebello and me @biancaolthoff.

Love you,

B
