Associate Priest Mentoring: An Honest Perspective - Fr. Sammie Maletta #80
Monday Jul 04, 2022
Monday Jul 04, 2022
Fr. Sammie Maletta would be the first to admit he wasn't the best mentor in his first chance to form a new priest. Since that first experience, he's learned a lot about leadership & how to raise others up, and he's doing everything he can to set the next young priest up for success.
Whether you're an associate priest, pastor, leading a ministry, or in any position overseeing people's development, this episode will be packed full of value for you. Hear practical insights on how to approach a leader-associate relationship with humility, grace, and with a common goal of building the greater mission.
The relationship between the leader and their associate affects every aspect of a ministry or organization. It affects the health of the people you minister to, and is an essential forming season for the younger leader - it can often have a serious impact on whether or not they survive the long haul in ministry.
This conversation with Fr. Sammie was so inspiring, and gives me so much joy & expectancy for the Church in this season!

Finding Purpose After a Dream Dies - Tim Dumas #79
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Monday Jun 27, 2022
How do you find new purpose after a dream dies? Tim Dumas experienced exactly that - twice!
From a young age, Tim’s passion & focus was football: first dreaming of being a football player, then a football coach. After a series of life-changing events, he found himself questioning those dreams, and didn’t know what was next.
After receiving coaching himself as a business man, he discovered a new dream - one that would allow him to learn to help others! A similar pattern often occurs in parish renewal as people learn & begin to see positive results, they often discover a desire to help others do the same.
Tim’s story is truly an inspiring one, and our conversation was so much fun!
