Dr. Scott Elmer invites parish leaders to slow down, pray together, and let God set the agenda for evangelization. Rather than making great plans and asking God to bless them, he lays out a practical, prayerful framework for group discernment—learning to listen, naming what God is already doing, and discovering a parish’s unique mission through its patron saint, community charisms, pastor’s gifts, and the people who are still missing.
