Through simple tools like virtual coffee chats, informal staff conversations, and even meal delivery ministry, he created space to hear what was truly in people’s hearts.Fr. Peter unpacks how listening first, not controlling, helps uncover where God is already at work in the community. He reflects on Jesus’ model of asking questions and walking at “three miles an hour,” reminding us that leadership requires presence, humility, and patience.This episode is a guide for anyone in ministry who wants to lead with intention, not reaction.💬 What’s one way you can lead with listening this week?#MagnifiedMinistries #CatholicLeadership #ManagersVsLeaders #ParishRenewal #FaithInAction #FrPeterWojcik #CatholicPodcast #RelationalMinistry
