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.

New Season Episode 3: Behind the Scenes

11/20/2025

November Update: Behind-the-scenes work is underway to clarify systems, introduce new tools, and establish new staff values. Matt continues learning Parkview’s systems and getting to know the staff and their roles. The pastoral staff held an offsite on 11/20 to identify priorities for the next 12–24 months—focusing on what matters most in this season. In November, we held two unique worship services (11/2, 11/9) by changing the chair setup and the overall Sunday morning format. This offered a glimpse of the flexibility—and hopefully creativity—to come. We will never change just for change’s sake, but these were strong examples of a vision and value leading us to try something new. Podcast Episode 3 has been recorded. January will launch a new series on leading faithfully through transition and stepping into new seasons—relevant both for Parkview and for anyone starting something new in the new year.
