As a team, we listen and respond to the needs of parish leaders by developing resources and tools, sharing best practices, offering workshops, and coaching leaders one-on-one and in cohorts to help them create a culture of evangelization in their parishes. The goal is to create Christ-centered, loving Catholic communities of faith where people are welcomed, seen, heard, known, and encouraged in the ups and downs of their life all while growing in relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. I host a monthly radio show/ podcast/ YouTube show, On the Way, dedicated to sharing ideas and resources to help people think in new ways about sharing our faith. I help write, resource, and edit our office newsletter by the same name, On the Way. Everything we do in life is "on the way" to somewhere else. And Jesus did just about everything "on the way" to the next town. We seek to help keep people growing and moving forward in their journey of faith. Show less
