Citylight Family Podcast

Psalm 115:1 "Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!"

One of our rhythms as a Family of churches is to share P115 reports. P115 is a set time for each church to share what they are celebrating and for prayer. With our Family of churches requesting more time for this, this season we are dedicating our podcast to P115s.

Each episode will feature one Citylight Family church. We will get to hear who they are, what God is doing through them, stories of people being saved and challenges they are facing. We’ll get to pray for them and praise God for them.

To kick this series off is Chris Hruska, co lead pastor from Citylight Omaha. Chris shares where Citylight Omaha has come from and where they are going and stories of God's faithfulness.

How do we faithfully mentor and raise up qualified pastors and church planters? And what does it look like to discern whether God is calling you to pastoral ministry?

In this episode, Citylight Family pastors and leaders Alex Leyva and Tom Rempel introduce CALLED, a new Church Planter Development Program designed to equip pastors and church planting residents within the Citylight Family.

Alex and Tom share the vision and need behind launching CALLED, along with their own stories of being called to and serving in pastoral ministry.
