In this week’s episode of Making It Personal with Bishop William Joensen, Bishop Joensen and Jeanne Thill sit down with Jim Jansen, parish leader, speaker, and author of A Clear Path. Drawing on years of experience in parish renewal and campus ministry, Jim shares insights on how parishes can move beyond activity overload and focus on what truly forms disciples.
In this conversation, they discuss:
The evolving mission of the Church and the renewed call to make missionary disciples
The impact of Jim’s work in the Archdiocese of Omaha and the leadership of Archbishop McGovern
How personal encounter with Christ led Jim into ministry
The relationship between conversion, prayer, parish culture, and mission
Why programs alone don’t form disciples—and how simplifying parish life actually produces greater fruit
The challenging but necessary process of discerning what to keep, prune, or refocus in parish ministry
Encouragement for parishes of all sizes: every community can begin the journey
Jim also shares resources available through his book and website, including tools to help leaders build a parish culture centered on evangelization, discipleship, and intentional mission.
