A parish renewal leader explains how the Church can thrive in today’s world by focusing on mission, empowering leadership teams, and returning to a Gospel-centered vision of holiness, community, and evangelization.

Episode Notes

Tim Glemkowski, Executive Director of Amazing Parish, joins the show to discuss his new white paper Rebuild My Church—a call to rediscover the Church’s mission in a changing world.

Drawing inspiration from Saint Francis of Assisi, Tim explains why true renewal isn’t about programs, but about holiness, leadership, and a return to the Gospel. He shares key insights from working with over 1,100 pastors, including the urgent need for strong parish leadership teams, the role of the laity in mission, and how parishes can overcome burnout and cultural challenges.

As the Church navigates a post-Christian—and possibly post-secular—society, this conversation offers hope and clarity on how parishes can become vibrant centers of discipleship and transformation.
