Christy and Sarah share their thoughts on the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis (July 17-21, 2024). There is still much to process, dig into, and bring to action.

 

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the experience or recordings of the talks if you were not there in person. What has your experience been? In what ways has the Holy Spirit transformed you or your ministry? 

I know we have been MIA for a couple of weeks (months) but you know how ministry and life are... Well, we are just trying to keep our heads above water as we prepare to head to the National Eucharistic Congress next week.

So, here's a random episode we recorded with Christy's friend and colleague Cari Reagan, a Digital Evangelist by trade. She shares her thoughts on the difference between PR and Communications in the church and Digital Evangelization. This is a great way of connecting the two as different yet intersecting. 

Tell us your thoughts in the comments below. And if you see us at the NEC please say HI! We'd love to chat with listeners of the "pod."

Check out our online conversation about church online with Sherry Hayes-Peirce, social media strategist, Digital Engagement Coordinator for American Martyrs Catholic Community in Manhattan Beach, CA, Catholic blogger, and conference presenter. Sarah and Christy discuss with Sherry social medias a place of engagement to share the story of the community and people of God. Listen and share your experience with digital church engagement. How has it aided your experience of faith? How can we do better?

With a few edits for time we journey with Ela Milewska from the Archdiocese of New York and hear her story of call to ministry, management, and how she keep spiritually and mentally healthy through the difficulties. Join Sarah and Christy in this sweet, real, and authentic conversation among friends.

We just wanted to pop in for a fun conversation sharing our favorite moments of Triduum and Easter. What are your favorite moments? Where did God visit you this year? 

We are back next week with another special guest. 

"Know your people" is the first step in effective faith formation. "Start with the End in Mind" is the next... and finally discern how the author views "the human person"  in the learning process. Dr. Tracey Lamont Director and Associate Professor of the Loyola Institute for Ministry opens up synodal listening, learning, relationships, and connecting with those around us in our parish pews and ministries. We'd love to hear your thoughts on what resonated with you in the comments section.

Christy and Sarah are joined by John Roberto, Executive Director of the newly revitalized NCCL to discuss Catechetical leaders, assumptions about learners in our parishes, and the lifetime process of faith formation.  

Join us today for some beautiful chaos with Desi Gould, wife and mother Director of Evangelization, licensed counselor, and collaborator with the Diocese of Cleveland's Office of Marriage and Family Ministry. A fun and insightful conversation interrupted briefly with some technical difficulties. Sarah, Christy, and Desi get back on track chatting about go to resources, challenges, and reminders for ministers to stay healthy and balanced. 

Christy and Sarah are joined by Bob McCarty on today's Catholic Leadership  Network Podcast. We got to NONE of the questions we prepared Bob for but we learned a whole bunch about Vision, the role of Pastoral Leaders, pastoral gifts and orchestrating or animating those gifts within the parish community. WOW!! We had a great time and hope you do to listening to this conversation. We'd love to hear your thoughts on today's discussion with Bob McCarty, Catholic Ministry leader and Author of the new book The Heart of a Disciple, from Paulist Press.
