Making Disciples Today: Blog

Real talk with real disciples who are living and working in the trenches of parish renewal and transformation.

No sugarcoating. No silver bullets. No pie in the sky theoretical concepts that feel impossible to translate into real parish life.

We share stories, talk about what works and what doesn't, and bring on some amazing guests. Come on and join us!

Here's the official description:

"We know that transforming parishes means changing culture—and that cultural change is hard! That’s why we’re “on the air.” Each week Deacon Keith Strohm and co-hosts Rachel Espinoza and Kristin Bird explore different facets of parish renewal. Breaking open their own experience working “in the trenches” at the parish and diocesan level, and discussing with their many guests the principles, strategies, programs, and processes that make an actual difference in parish life, your podcast hosts provide practical, real-world advice you can use."

If you are passionate about parish renewal, evangelization, mission, and discipleship, and you are looking for concrete, practical advice and discussion, then tune in.
