Manage episode 446474404 series 2830117
In this episode, Jess sits down with Dr. Jeremy DeWeerdt, a dynamic leader and Senior Pastor of City First Church in Rockford, IL. Jeremy is known for blending faith and culture in innovative ways. Drawing from his popular sermon series "At The Movies," we explore how fear, anxiety, and personal challenges can shape us but don't define us. Jeremy shares wisdom on renewing the mind, replacing negativity with faith, and the concept of living a greater story.
As we navigate a time filled with uncertainty—politically, socially, and economically—Jeremy speaks to the role of faith, the church, and leadership in today’s culture. This episode also delves into leadership lessons he’s learned from years of pastoring a diverse community and how to lead with principles and courage.
Finally, we talk about Gen Z—how Jeremy’s research for his doctorate offers key insights into this generation and what parents and leaders can take from it to guide and support young people today.
