Growing the Pastor-Associate Relationship - Fr. Sammie & Fr. Declan | Ep. 96 | Ron Huntley Leadership Podcast

As a pastor, how is your relationship with your associate? As an associate, how is your relationship with your pastor? As a bishop, what are your expectations and hope for the pastor/associate relationship?

To put it another way: How do you build a church together while juggling two unique leadership styles?

By opening the conversation and exploring the 'how' behind a healthy pastor/associate relationship, we can grow in our own relationships and maximize the potential of our churches. Heath, growth, and impact are possible if we are intentional!

On this episode, we dive deep into the relationship between a Pastor & an Associate. Fr. Sammie Maletta, a pastor of 20-plus years, and Fr. Declan McNicholas, an associate pastor, collaborate in exceptional ways to bring about organizational health & empower other leaders in their parish for impact. They joined me this week to share about their experience of learning to lead alongside one another!

This podcast could be a great conversation starter with your own Pastor/Associate.

Highlighting the importance of embracing two unique perspectives, learning to respect one another's input, and maintaining a common vision of what they hope to accomplish, this episode will leave you encouraged & empowered as you grow your own relationships with the leaders around you.
