Why Our Parishes Need Disruptors

It’s not about bringing more people to mass, it’s about bringing more people the love of Christ. Today, Gomer and Dave “Teacher of Teachers” VanVickle explain why our parishes need disruptors in order to grow in evangelization.

“Everything worth having takes effort to keep it going.”

The Parish Box That We Put Ourselves In

We’re asking the wrong questions:

• Maintenance mode for health transformation and not peaks
• We need disruptors - traditionalist entrepreneurs
• Dinosaur Brains

The crisis in Catholicism is far worse than you think:

• 2 out of 15 people do not know or have ever heard of Moses

We do not give children the ability to be saved:

• Start every class with the simple Kerygma
• In the first four weeks of CCD, get everyone on the same page

Practical Takeaways

1. Connect doctrinal points to everyday life
2. Put the cross in every Church teaching
3. Traditional Prayers at the end of class, Charismatic Intercession at the beginning of class
4. Intentionally connect each previous lesson with the day’s topic
