For those navigating the joys and challenges of co-leading with a partner or pursuing ministry alongside your family, you don’t want to miss this episode! We’re thrilled to talk with The Rev. Jeanette Salguero as she shares her inspiring calling as a wife, mother, pastor, and advocate.

Growing up in a ministerial family, Jeanette felt a deep calling to serve. This calling extends to her family as she co-leads The Gathering Place, a vibrant multicultural church in Orlando, Florida, with her husband and serves alongside her sons. She also passionately advocates on behalf of Latino communities in the U.S., focusing on issues such as immigration, education, and health, through her work with The National Latino Evangelical Coalition.

As she holds many roles, Jeanette emphasizes the importance of prayer, teamwork, and accountability. She and her husband strive to keep their family a priority while doing ministry. She beautifully describes their partnership: “Co-leading a church is a tango. It’s a dance, a beautiful dance. Sometimes we are in sync, and sometimes we step on each other's toes… It’s not easy work, but we have an abundance of grace and love for each other.”

Listen to learn how integrating faith, family, and community support into your ministry can not only enhance your leadership but also deepen your impact.
