4. Where to Start: Tell Ministry Coach What You’re Struggling With

The best way to begin using M2GO is not by browsing resources, but by telling Ministry Coach what you’re struggling with right now. From there, it will guide you to the right tools, kits, or next steps.

M2GO includes a wide range of training kits, videos, and downloadable tools. While you’re welcome to browse the library, many leaders find the most value by starting with Ministry Coach.

Ministry Coach is designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re overwhelmed, stuck, planning ahead, or trying to respond to a specific challenge in your ministry.

Instead of asking, “Where should I start?”
We recommend starting with: “Here’s what I’m dealing with.”


Start with Your Real Challenge

When you open Ministry Coach, begin by naming what feels hardest right now. You don’t need the right language or a polished plan—just describe the situation honestly.

Examples:

  • “My volunteers are burned out and disengaged.”

  • “I need help training new catechists, and I don’t know where to start.”

  • “We’re struggling with Confirmation, and parents are frustrated.”

  • “I feel overwhelmed and behind, and I need clarity.”

  • “I have 45 minutes with my team and no plan.”

Ministry Coach will respond by:

  • Recommending specific M2GO training kits or videos

  • Suggesting discussion questions or activities

  • Helping you adapt resources for your age group or setting

  • Pointing you toward coaching, cohorts, or next steps if appropriate


Why This Approach Works

Ministry leaders are busy, and challenges rarely arrive in neat categories. Ministry Coach is designed to reduce decision fatigue by helping you move from problem → resource → action.

Rather than guessing which kit might help, you can:

  • Name the challenge

  • Receive a short list of relevant resources

  • Decide what fits your time, team, and season

This approach also allows M2GO to grow with you—especially as micro-courses and new formats are added over time.


You Can Still Browse When You Want To

Starting with Ministry Coach doesn’t replace browsing the Resource Hub. It simply gives you a clearer starting point.

Once you’ve used a few recommended kits or videos, many leaders begin to:

  • Save favorites

  • Build seasonal rhythms

  • Combine kits into longer formation plans

But the first step is clarity—not consumption.


Helpful Tip

If you’re unsure how to phrase your challenge, start with one sentence:

“The thing I’m most worried about right now is…”

That’s more than enough for Ministry Coach to begin helping.
