This week the BeatiDudes welcome Kyle Hatfield. He’s a husband, girl-dad of five, former Pines Catholic Camp director, and the Director of Engagement at the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI). Between insane stories at the Tiny Table, Kyle shares a joy-filled journey from conversion and camp ministry to coaching pastors and bishops.

Kyle breaks down how CLI helps parishes move from vision to implementation. The "Tuesday-afternoon" stuff like prioritizing mission, delegating well, and caring for clergy with ongoing formation and wellness.

Highlights
• From The Pines to CLI: camp director during the pandemic to accompanying dioceses, pastors, and bishops
• Vision → Action: practical coaching so parishes actually live their mission
• Parish as “all souls within your boundaries”: an apostolic lens for leadership
• Marriage & family: 10 years, five daughters, and vocation over occupation
• The legendary 16-count slow clap and a rapid-fire joke round
If you care about parish life that truly evangelizes, this episode delivers practical wisdom wrapped in fraternity and fun. Kyle’s story shows how saying “yes” to God at camp, at home, and in leadership, turns big church dreams into real, local renewal.
