The Rebuilt Parish Podcast (Rebuilt Parish)

Growing a healthy parish requires more than we can do alone. If we try and take all the burden on ourselves, we will burn out. In this episode we will look at a story from the life of Moses and the wisdom it gives for delegating to others.

GK Chesterton said, “Rome was not loved because it was great. It was great because it was love.” For any parish to thrive, it needs leaders who love the parish and sacrifice to make it better. In this episode we will look at what it means practically to love our parish.

The goal is to deepen their faith and create a sense of community. Liz and Marianne emphasize the importance of sharing faith from the heart, inviting others to share their stories, listening with an open heart and mind, and extending invitations to others. 

The Faith Cafe has helped create a more cohesive parish and has brought people back to the Church. The Faith Cafe is a program that encourages parishioners to gather and share their faith in an informal and welcoming environment. The key principles of the Faith Cafe include creating a safe space for sharing, focusing on personal experiences rather than trying to convert others, and listening with an open heart and mind. 

Practical tips for sharing faith include sharing the joy of one's relationship with God, being open to questions and exploration, and creating a sense of security and belonging. 

Common obstacles to sharing faith include fear of saying the wrong thing and fear of what others will think. Overcoming these obstacles involves sharing one's story and experiences in a joyful and non-threatening way. 

The impact of the Faith Cafe has been seen in increased Mass attendance and a sense of community and discipleship among participants. The success of the program is attributed to the combination of hospitality, engaging content, and small group discussions.

Summary

Fr. Gregory  Reichlen shares his experience of coaching with Rebuilt and the transformation it brought to his parish. The parish, located in the eastern Pocono Mountains, had a multicultural and multilingual community but struggled to engage with the culture, especially the next generation.

They focused on prayerful preparation, casting a vision, and involving volunteers in the planning and execution of liturgies. They also emphasized the importance of music, meaningful homilies, and active participation. Fr. Greg encourages parish leaders to start somewhere and take one step towards parish renewal.

Growing a healthy parish rests on three simple, but not easy strategies that any parish can employ. In this episode we will look at the core strategies that have driven the transformation of our parish and offer some action

The weekend represents the greatest opportunity to make an impact on people. It is the best opportunity to reach the Lost and get people on the discipleship path. In this podcast we will look at the three things you absolutely need to get right in order to create a great weekend experience.

The Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ. To fulfill this mission we must have a clear strategy for how we will help the people in our pews grow into fully devoted followers of Christ. In this episode we will look at how to shape a clear discipleship path for your parish. 

In this episode, we look at why the message or homily is so important in the life of your parish. We will also offer six best practices for making sure the message is powerful and effective in your parish. These are six practices that any parish can employ anywhere.

In this month’s podcast, Tom and Kelly continue their discussion on the importance of the message. They offer insights on how to plan messages for a year and how to make a message series happen in your parish.

In this episode, Tom and Kelly look at five reasons volunteer ministers are crucial for creating a culture of hospitality and a great weekend experience.

Creating a culture of hospitality means we need to create layers of welcoming. In this episode, we discuss the key ministries for hospitality and what they do. 

Tom and Kelly share lessons we are learning about taking hospitality to the next level including feeling over function and WOW-1.

Our parish (Church of the Nativity) benefitted tremendously from attending church conferences and learning from people in the trenches. In this episode we will look at how to leverage conferences to grow as a parish

Life often comes down to a few defining moments that can set the course and direction of our whole life. Throughout the Scriptures, God uses key moments to get people on board his mission and purpose in the world. In this episode we will look at key ways to leverage moments in the weekend experience and on their spiritual journey.

Mission work or outreach to people outside our parish reminds us that the Church is to make an impact on the world.

They want to be part of a church that is changing and transforming the world. In this episode, we will look at the basics of our missions program and give some practical steps for getting started in you parish.
