Why Programs Don’t Work

I’ve got a program this is going to change hearts and transform lives! It builds relationships, causes conversions, and could be a real blessing to your parish, BUT there’s a catch…

Program’s aren’t silver bullets, and they can’t survive in a vacuum.

A program that works has:

• a goal for success
• a target audience that isn’t defined by age or state of life
• a support system of ongoing relationships
• disciples who are working together to shift parish culture

All this may seem like a lot, but today’s episode provides some easy first steps for fostering good programs that flourish.

(Note: No actual program is being promoted in this episode. We simply hope to impart some wisdom around using programs in a way that they will truly thrive at your parish.)
