Stop Wasting Time - October 21, 2025

Parish meetings can feel like they go in circles—lots of talking, little action, and even less fruit. In this episode, Jon and Thai unpack why so many meetings feel pointless and how to fix them by anchoring every conversation in mission, goals, and accountability.

You’ll learn how to move your meetings from maintenance to momentum, where clarity replaces confusion, and every conversation moves your parish closer to making more disciples.

TAKEAWAYS

• Establish a clear rhythm for identifying and pursuing mission-oriented goals.

• Build accountability by reviewing next steps and progress at each meeting.

• Change happens through small, consistent actions—not big overhauls.
