S1E3: Listening Before Leading
Accompany Podcast
What happens when parishes restructure and in some sense fall apart? This episode focuses on how to slow down and truly listen? Antony from Good Shepherd shares how his community transformed ministry meetings into moments of discernment. This episode reminds us that accompaniment begins not with programming, but with presence, patience, and prayer. Guest: Antony Ta (Good Shepherd Parish)
