Leading Healthy Change in Your Church | Father James Mallon
In today’s episode of the Healthy Christian Leader Show, host Dwight Habermehl sits down with Father James Mallon to discuss the challenges and strategies of leadership in the church. Building on their previous conversation about handling criticism, they focus on proactive steps church leaders can take to lead effectively and minimize unhealthy criticism.
Father Mallon emphasizes the importance of vision and how it must be deeply ingrained in both the leader and the congregation. He shares insights on how to communicate vision clearly, not just through preaching but by creating experiences that allow people to engage with the vision personally. He also addresses the challenges of leading change within a church, stressing that transformation takes time, involves both human and divine effort, and requires managing expectations from the leadership team and congregation.
The conversation highlights the need for consistent and strategic communication, leadership summits, and investing in key leaders to ensure successful implementation of vision. Father Mallon emphasizes that while opposition is inevitable, a well-prepared leadership team and a clear vision can minimize pushback and inspire hope for the future.
Tune in for a rich discussion on spiritual leadership, vision, and the importance of patience and preparation in church transformation.
