How do leadership decisions today shape the future of a church community? My twin sister Jasmine Star is in the house today! She explores the tension between running a church like an organization while honoring its deeper spiritual purpose by diving deep into church leadership.
Jasmine breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and how leadership accountability shapes a thriving community. We’ll explore:
The balance between structure and faith in church leadership
Why following well is just as important as leading
Essential leadership principles: glorifying God, empowering the team, speaking truth, and holding the line
Key Takeaways ✨ Accountability and celebration fuel leadership growth ✨ Strategic structural changes will shape the future of the church ✨ Recognizing your zone of genius can redefine your impact
Leadership isn’t just about making tough decisions—it’s about building something lasting. Show Jasmine what you are building by tagging @jasminestar and me @biancajuarezofficial.
Love you,

More from We're Going There with Bianca Juarez
What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we wanted? The Church today needs tools for discipleship that go beyond a Sunday experience so that people can stay the course and live out the transformation that comes from staying with God… even when things don’t work out as planned. What does it mean for us to be present to His presence even when the outcomes are disappointing or heartbreaking?
How can we actually love like God calls us to love? The Church today is straining under the weight of division. Politics, theological disagreements, cultural differences, and deeply felt wounds are real threats and real damage is being done. What should happen when people who genuinely love Jesus and faithfully wrestle with Scripture arrive at different conclusions? In this conversation led by Dr. Anita Phillips, we get real about conviction, humility, and the work of remaining tender toward one another. This is an invitation to cultivate a love strong enough to stretch—reaching for each other rather than running as we trust God with it all.
Drop into a deeply human conversation with Dr. Anita Phillips, Noemi Chavez, Bianca Juarez, and Hosanna Wong– four friends and leaders whose lives, expertise, and perspectives are remarkably different, but whose shared center is Jesus and His Church.
Have you found yourself praying fervently and working endlessly, but you're still waiting in the dry season for your breakthrough?
Are you just winging it, hoping no one notices you haven’t actually mastered the art of receiving feedback yet? If you’re tired of the "performative" stuff and ready for real, gut-level growth, this episode is your wake-up call.
