I’ve got a program this is going to change hearts and transform lives! It builds relationships, causes conversions, and could be a real blessing to your parish, BUT there’s a catch… Program’s aren’t silver bullets, and they can’t survive in a vacuum. A program that works has: a goal for success a target audience that isn’t defined by age or state of life a support system of ongoing relationships disciples who are working together to shift parish culture All this may seem like a lot, but today’s episode provides some easy first steps for fostering good programs that flourish. (Note: No actual program is being promoted in this episode. We simply hope to impart some wisdom around using programs in a way that they will truly thrive at your parish.)
