Why I Love Jabin Chavez
Pastor Jabin has been blogging about his conference speakers this year and why he loves them. I thought it would be appropriate for someone to write about him. I met Pastor Jabin over 5 years ago in New York and I can honestly say that my life is better because Jabin is my friend.
Why I love Jabin Chavez:
1. He is loyal: I have never heard one negative word about anyone come out of his or his wife’s (Shanen) mouth. You don’t know how many youth pastors cry about how their pastor is holding them back and if they only had a leader like so in so and they don’t get paid enough. As a pastor it has blessed me to see his unwavering support and love for his pastors Benny and Wendy Perez.
2. He is full of joy: He reminds me of my mom Theresa. I laugh harder when I’m around him. I want to be funnier because of him. My kids want to be around him and Shanen when they come to town. No better sign of Joy than when children want to spend time with you. Some guys can preach and some guys you want to play golf with, take your families on vacation with… he’s both.
3. He makes God bigger: When I hear him preach or when I spend time talking to him, God’s ability, God’s faithfulness, God’s love for me seems bigger than I thought it was.
Thank you Jabin for your friendship! You are loved…


Robbie,
I really enjoyed this post. I thought your insights were very balanced, biblical, heartfelt, and objective. It is very sobering to hear all of those social media statistics. I believe reinforcing and deepening marital intimacy needs to be at the forefront of our thoughts and decision making. Like you pointed out, when you take a step back and think of this life & all that really matters in it, nothing is more important than our relationship with our spouse. The oneness that covenant marriage provides is a beautiful thing that’s truly a gift worth the ultimate investment. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
