Episode 107: How to Say “No” In Ministry

Saying “no” is an essential part of being a leader in ministry. In this episode, Chris and John share their experience of saying “no” and how to effectively discern what we say “yes” to and what we say “no” to.

Episode 101: Naming and Developing Spiritual Habits in Your Ministry

We often begin developing faith formation opportunities in our parish without thinking through what it is we hope participants will gain from being involved. In this episode, Chris and John start with the end in mind and encourage leaders to discuss the spiritual habits they hope participants will develop in formation programs and use that as the starting point for developing your faith formation curriculum.

In this episode, we reference “Who Is that Teenager,” a resource developed by Chris through Marathon Youth Ministry.
