Our Guest: Rev. David Valera

What happens when two Methodist pastors walk into a podcast? A whole lot of wisdom, laughter, and some surprisingly deep thoughts about life, faith, and... defining "home" when you seem to belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time!

Join Damian and Pastor David Valera as they dive into the magic (yes, magic!) of Methodism—where connectionalism is more than just a fancy church word, and community engagement isn't just a buzzword; it's a way of life. They chat about the Christmas Institute (which is NOT a secret Santa society), the struggles of ministry in a multicultural world, and why self-care for pastors is just as important as Sunday morning sermons.

Oh, and spoiler alert: the next generation? They’re pretty awesome, and they just might save the world.

So grab your coffee, get comfy, and tune in for an episode that’s equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply insightful. You won’t want to miss it!
