125. Stop wasting time: How to have meetings that matter

Written By Jon Konz

Parish meetings often feel like they go in circles—lots of talking, little action, and even less fruit. In this episode, Jon and Thai unpack why so many meetings feel pointless and how to fix them by anchoring every conversation in mission, goals, and accountability.

You’ll learn how to move your meetings from maintenance to momentum, where clarity replaces confusion, and every conversation moves your parish closer to making more disciples.

TAKEAWAYS

  • Start every meeting with prayer and a reminder of your parish mission.

  • Establish a clear rhythm for identifying and pursuing mission-oriented goals.

  • Build accountability by reviewing next steps and progress at each meeting.

  • Change happens through small, consistent actions—not big overhauls.

  • Renewal begins when your meetings move from maintenance to mission.
