Myth Busting: Clear Path of Discipleship
The Archdiocese’s Big Goal, each parish in the Archdiocese of Omaha will be a missional community, has three characteristics: collaborative leadership, a clear path to discipleship, and a culture of generosity. I believe we can’t talk about these enough.
So today, I have another episode on the clear path to discipleship for you. In many ways, the clear path isn’t a new idea; it’s just a new expression of something that is as old as the Church. Thus, people don’t respond negatively to it, but I have encountered quite a few misconceptions that seem to trip people up. They think the clear path is just the newest buzzword, a quick fix that puts people on an assembly line and cuts all ministries out of a parish.
If you’ve thought these things (or if you know someone else who has), let me mythbust for you!
