Pastor Mike Jurek brings Core Value #5 into focus: The church must raise up and release the next generation of pastors and leaders. The need for workers is as great as ever, and Jesus is still calling people to step forward. Our responsibility is to create opportunities, champion those who answer the call, and avoid becoming voices that discourage or wound emerging leaders. Every believer should remain ready and willing to go where God sends.
Pastor Mike emphasizes that ministry is rewarding but often difficult. Jesus prepared His followers for spiritual opposition, urging them to stand firm in the armor of God. Meanwhile, those who are not called to vocational ministry must avoid the “wolf” behaviors that damage leaders — biting, criticizing, or tearing down. Instead, we are invited to lift others up and take our own next step in discipleship, discovering the abundant life Jesus promised to those who run their race with Him.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
