BE DISCIPLES. MAKE DISCIPLES. | Fr. Sammie Maletta on Parish Renewal, Leadership & the Holy Spirit

What does it actually take to renew a parish?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with our very own pastor, Fr. Sammie Maletta of St. John the Evangelist Parish, to discuss his new book: https://www.lorrainecross.media/shop/p/bedisciplesmakedisciples
“Be Disciples. Make Disciples.”

Together, we unpack the 8 leadership principles behind parish renewal and transformation, and the incredible story of how St. John became a thriving, mission-driven Catholic parish.

But this conversation goes deeper than strategy.

We talk honestly about:
🔥 Following the promptings of the Holy Spirit
🔥 Resistance to change inside the Church
🔥 The fear of stepping into mission
🔥 Why discipleship must move beyond comfort
🔥 What it means to truly evangelize today
🔥 How parish renewal starts with personal conversion

Fr. Sammie shares real stories, practical wisdom, and spiritual insight into what happens when a parish stops settling for maintenance mode and starts embracing mission.
