A New Season Episode 6: Teaching Teams and Theme Parks

3/12/2026
Welcome back to A New Season! In this episode, Josh and Andy kick things off with laughter, diving into favorite movies and recent adventures—like Andy's family trip to Disney World, where meticulous planning and some clever line-hopping tips take center stage. From there, the conversation transitions to bigger topics happening at Parkview, celebrating a recent blowout success with their Renew project and the incredible generosity within the church community. But at the heart of this episode, Josh and Andy pull back the curtain on what makes Parkview tick by digging into too-often-overlooked church “distinctives”—what sets their church apart from others in the neighborhood. They break down the unique “teaching team” approach, explaining why having a variety of voices preaching is intentional, strategic, and core to Parkview’s culture. You’ll also hear some insights into the direction of upcoming sermons, a fascinating AI analysis of Andy’s preaching themes, and a peek behind the scenes at planning their pastoral retreat. Whether you’re here for stories, strategy, or spiritual insights, this episode gives you a genuine look at the heart and humor that define Parkview’s leadership during a time of transition. Grab your favorite zero-calorie drink, settle in, and enjoy this candid conversation about community, vision, and what’s next for Parkview!

A New Season Episode 4: Behind the Scenes with CJ & Jake

1/8/2026
On today’s episode of "A New Season," we sat down with Parkview’s own Christina (CJ) and Jake, hosted by Josh, for an inside look at the stories and heart behind the leaders guiding the church through transition. Christina (CJ) shared her journey from studying theater and music to pastoral ministry, and gave us an authentic glimpse into her passion for connecting people both to community and to God. Jake recounted his path from business ambitions to discovering his calling in student ministry, including his experiences in Chicago and his commitment to showing up for students well beyond Sunday mornings. The episode highlighted the excitement—and reality—of change at Parkview, from new roles and organizational updates to deeper values like hospitality and connection. Both Christina (CJ) and Jake talked about the ways their personal lives overlap with ministry, and how they’re looking forward to upcoming efforts like student retreats and Team World Vision runs. Plus, we learned about their favorite Christmas movies (with some debate over what counts!), quirky family facts, and the behind-the-scenes work that often goes unnoticed but is crucial for helping people feel at home. If you’re curious about what goes into leading a vibrant, evolving church—especially during seasons of change—you’ll get a refreshing, personal perspective in this episode.
