Episode #74--"The Inefficient Innovator"--1 on 1 Conversation with Jason Shanks
Season 7 Episode 74
In this podcast, Christina sits down with Jason Shanks, President of the OSV Institute for Catholic Innovation and OSV Innovation Talk speaker to discuss his talk "The Inefficient Innovator" and the state of ministry and discipleship, especially within the Church.
Jason brings a wealth of background and experience to his role as President of OSV Institute, overseeing the annual OSV Challenge and OSV Talks, both launched to ignite creativity and entrepreneurship in the Catholic Church. His vision for renewal through innovation is unparalleled and stems from his conviction that the Church is evergreen from generation to generation and must be re-presented fresh and anew to today’s modern world.
Our conversation covered many topics, including Jason's own life-threatening battle with COVID, the work of the OSV Institute for Catholic Innovation and the crisis of innovation within the Church that prompted the "pivot" of the OSV Institute to focus upon innovation by sponsoring the OSV Innovation Challenge and launch the Innovation Talk series, fear, urgency of the mission to share the Good News, and how we all need to be about seeking to live out our life of faith "new in ardor, expression and method."
The OSV Institute is dedicated to inspiring and encouraging innovative and effective Church-related programs and activities helping Catholics fulfill their calling to discipleship, strengthen their relationship with Christ, deepen their commitment to the Church, and contribute to its growth and vitality in the world, so it was indeed a deep pleasure to be able to have this conversation with Jason to help further a mission very similar to the Say Yes mission to inspire, encourage and accompany every person to SAY YES to holiness and become saints God created us to be while embracing purpose, peace and abundance in daily life.
This is a conversation that really set my heart on fire with a desire to keep seeking and challenging myself to become a better disciple and leader, so I hope that you, too, are inspired and encouraged to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to truly foster innovation in your own life of discipleship as well as the vineyard of our Lord.
