- 8-week virtual cohort
- Begins February 2026
- Fully virtual | Live, facilitated sessions
- $225 per participant
Why This Cohort Exists
Many ministry leaders agree that relationships matter—but struggle with questions like:
-
Where do we actually start?
-
How do we move beyond programs without losing momentum?
-
How do we lead discipleship in a way that is sustainable and aligned with our mission?
The MYM SPRINT: Relational Discipleship Kickstart exists to create space for clarity, discernment, and practical direction—without pressure to have everything figured out
What You'll Walk Away With
Participants in this cohort don’t just gain ideas. They leave with:
-
Greater clarity about what relational discipleship looks like in their context
-
Increased confidence in how they lead and communicate a discipleship vision
-
Practical next steps they can realistically implement
-
A stronger sense of alignment between mission, leadership, and daily ministry decisions
Success isn’t measured by completing content—it’s measured by clarity, confidence, and forward movement.
Who This Cohort Is Designed For
This cohort is a good fit if you are:
-
A youth minister, parish leader, or pastoral associate
-
A director or coordinator of faith formation, evangelization, or young adult ministry
-
A priest, deacon, or pastoral leader supporting discipleship-focused renewal
-
A leader who feels stuck between vision and implementation
-
Someone seeking direction—not another abstract framework
This cohort may not be the right fit if you’re looking for a plug-and-play program or a quick fix.
How the Cohort Works
-
8 live, 60-minute virtual sessions
-
Facilitated discussion in a small-group setting
-
Guided reflection and applied exercises between sessions
-
