Magnified Ministries Podcast

Welcome to the first episode of Magnified: A Ministry Leadership Podcast, hosted by Fr. Peter Wojcik and Marco Oropeza! 🎙In this premiere episode, we explore one of the most urgent questions facing Church leaders today:Are we ministering in a post-Christian world… or a pre-Christian one?Join us as we dive into startling data from Pew, Barna, and Gallup that reveal a cultural shift many parishes aren’t prepared for—and why understanding this change is key to effective renewal. Fr. Peter and Marco share personal stories, theological insights, and practical strategies that every parish leader can start using now to reimagine how we present the Gospel to a generation starting from zero .Learn more about St. Clement Parish:https://www.clement.org📲 Download the St. Clement App for parish news, events, and resources:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/st-clement-chicago/id1551980820 Mentioned in this episode: Evangelii Gaudium by Pope Francishttps://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium.html Barna Group: State of the Churchhttps://www.barna.com/research/state-of-the-church-2020/ Gallup U.S. Church Membership Report https://news.gallup.com/poll/341963/church-membership-falls-below-majority-first-time.aspx Pew Research: The Future of Religion in Americahttps://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/12/14/modeling-the-future-of-religion-in-america/ Recommended Reading: Autopsy of a Deceased Church by Thom S.
