I’m a Jesus Lover, Wife, Mom, TraumaTherapist, Author, Speaker & Prophetic Trainer

My passion is simply helping others find wholeness, healing & hope so they can be all that God created them to be.

Leaders who are Spiritually, Emotionally, And Mentally Healthy Will Reproduce Relational And Professional Health In Ministry, Family, And Organizations.

If you’ve been in leadership long, you’ve encountered insecure or micro-managing-styled leaders. We have all had painful encounters, whether it was a parent, pastor or a teacher; when someone in authority speaks a negative word to you, about you or over you, it hits at the core of our identity. It plants seeds of doubt about our abilities, qualifications, talents, and sense of belonging. I’m here because God wants to remove the residue of insecurity, fear, and doubt those painful words created. Many are unaware of the significance of the impact of these experiences. However, true growth cannot occur until we confront and transform our own beliefs. While charisma can carry you for a time, it’s only a matter of time before burnout sets mining, imposter syndrome, and the need to self-medicate will set in.

Realizing your full potential and staying truly awake requires reconciling your past and fully embracing your present reality before charting a course forward. This empowers you to confidently approach the future, ensuring robust relationships and a clear vision amid a complex and ever-changing landscape.”

What others have to say about Charla
Joseph Newton said, “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.” Charla is a bridge builder. I’ve watched her build many, rebuild some and do everything to keep one from crumbling. Her interpersonal skills build a huge trust with people around her. Her skills empower others to rise up and her confidence and ability to lead is very apparent. Charla is dedicated, being goal oriented; she “does whatever it takes for as long as it takes.”
Jess Langley
Charla has been encouraging, challenging & teaching women to look past what the naked eye can see; uncovering and unleashing beauty that has been held captive to long!
She is a safe harbor for people to hurt & heal in a real, Spirit-filled environment.
She has simple ways of communicating value, worth and identity to the women.
Her passion is to see women set free from past trauma, rejection, shame and depression & bring refreshing and change to their hearts.

Charla and I have worked together leading women in small group ministry and prophetic ministry. Charla is a leader of leaders, pastoring women by calling greatness out of them, serving them, and most importantly loving them. I have seen Charla serve her leaders as well as those she is leading; to me this is one of the greatest way to identify the best kind of leader. Charla is skilled in motivating others, gathering high quality leaders in a way that they feel cared for and purposeful in their tasks. It is also a given that when you are with Charla that you will also have fun and walk away encouraged. Charla is smart and teachable; these are some of my favorite qualities in leaders.
Stephanie Kelsey, Associate Pastor, Gateway Church
I have known Charla Janecka for seven years and can attest to her leadership and ministry skills and capacity. Charla encourages people, looks, sees, and then draws the gifts out of them that they didn’t even know they had. She has a prophetic gift and uses it to lift others up around her. She is a gifted communicator who can give a biblically sound message that is easy to follow and relevant to any audience.
She is nurturing, aware, and sensitive to how others around her are feeling. She is not afraid to go deep with people and help pull them out of a rough place. She is a champion for those who need a champion. She is a risk-taker and a trailblazer. When the Lord shows her something, she has the faith to see it come about. I have witnessed and partnered with Charla in ministering in various venues, events, and mission trips.
Samantha Golden, Associate Campus Pastor at Gateway Church
Charla is gifted in the prophetic and is a natural encourager. She hears the Lord quickly and clearly and can deliver an accurate word in the moment. Her easygoing, extroverted nature and ability to win others over make her a natural as an emcee, event host, or leader. She makes others feel at ease and brings her warmth to every room she enters. She is a gifted leader and makes it easy for others to follow her. She is discerning and careful to make the right move, however, once that is determined, she is bold and decisive in moving forward.
I have known Charla for several years at Gateway church. Charla is a great communicator and has a heart for ministry. She has shown an excellent ability to hear God and to express in the prophetic. Her discernment is refined and she has a great capacity to love and encourage others. She has a submitted heart and is obedient to
authority, which has allowed her to be recognized as an influential woman who can lead others. Her spirit is contagious and it allows people to feel safe and able to be themselves in her presence. She is a great leader because of her servant’s heart.
Mallory Bassham, Associate Senior Pastor at Gateway Church
Charla is an amazing leader & minister to others. She knows how to partner with the Holy Spirit and as a result she becomes an activator for His greatness in others. She genuinely cares about the heart of His people and takes that role very seriously. Charla knows how to speak life & loves to see others walking in freedom. I believe her leadership has caused collateral healing in the fabric of Gateway church’s families & I have been honored to see God work through her. This is an awesome woman of God & I would serve along side her in any season.
Deana Morgan
Charla Janecka is a strong and graceful leader who knows how to capture the attention of others. She looks to identify the potential in others and help them develop their strengths while allowing them to further discover the gifts and talents that God has placed within them to a greater degree. Her motivational skills propel others to examine their current spiritual condition without condemnation. Charla has been a wonderful example of a strong, godly leader whose desire is to raise up others to seek God more passionately.
Kavita Tolliver
Charla demonstrates Christ-like leadership by her heart to serve others. She is compassionate, and articulate and seems to pour out herself from the places where God has filled her, healed her, and delivered her. She ministers from a place of authenticity and genuine care. She is strong but gracious in her leadership style. Charla exhibits a true desire to train and equip others to walk in their God-given destinies. 
Denisa Mohr, MFLPC
I have been under the leadership of Charla Janecka this year in the women’s ministry at Gateway Church North Fort Worth campus. As a leader she enables those under her and equips them for leadership. She is very encouraging and supportive to our team who lead the Rescued series on this campus.
“Her heart is very attuned to the Father’s voice as she speaks his words of love and encouragement to others in the group as He directs. She has a deep desire to see others walk in the full potential of all God created them to do and is a blessing to all who come in contact with her. She would be a beautiful asset to any ministry or team.
