Tune in this afternoon at 4 on Siouxland Catholic Radio 88.1 FM as Jon gives you three things to fix that: Decide Out Loud. Name the Owner. Set the Date. One clear decision. One person responsible. One firm deadline. Write it down before anyone leaves. And if you think structure doesn't belong in volunteer ministry — Jon addresses that too. Vagueness doesn't protect your volunteers.

Travis Crotty Why Your Parish Isn’t Producing Vocations w/ Fr. Travis Crotty Most parishes say they want more vocations. But few are building the kind of culture where vocations can actually grow. In this episode, Jon sits down with Fr. Travis Crotty, Vocations Director for the Diocese of Sioux City, to unpack what’s really behind the decline in vocations and what parish leaders can do about it.

They explore why the “vocations crisis” didn’t start today, what healthy vocation-producing parishes have in common, and why programs and posters aren’t the solution.

The conversation gets practical. At the center of it all is one simple truth: vocations don’t come from strategies. They come from a lived, visible, joyful faith.

If you want more vocations, you don’t start with recruitment. You start with culture.

Key Takeaways

Vocations grow where faith is lived, not just taught

The real vocation gap began 30 years ago, not today

Exposure to priestly life makes discernment possible

Families create the seedbed through sacramental living and witness

A personal invitation is one of the most effective catalysts

Notable Quotes 

“Everybody wants somebody else’s son or grandson to be a priest.”

“A life lived in relationship with Jesus and his Church is better than a life lived without him.”

Ministry like this is exhausting – parishioners don’t know where to go and leaders feel like they can’t lead. Using Matthew 9:36 (“like sheep without a shepherd”), the episode calls leaders to move from reacting to shepherding.

The practical path forward is simple: diagnose what hijacks your week, identify what must be protected, then pick one “stop-doing” move (stop, condense, or delegate) and replace it with scheduled margin for people, prayer, or planning.


Key takeaways

  • Survival mode is predictable: urgent needs dominate, meetings get heavy, important decisions don’t get made, and discipleship gets pushed down the road.
  • Survival mode isn’t just busy. It’s disorienting, leaving leaders reactive instead of shepherding.
  • “Predictable urgency can be redesigned” when you add guards and boundaries instead of reacting to everything.
  • If you can’t name your top priority in one sentence and your conversations are only logistics, you’re likely stuck in survival mode.
  • One small boundary won’t break the parish, but it can break the survival loop.

In this episode, Jon and Thai unpack why renewed energy isn’t the solution. Clear priorities are.

Drawing from Matthew 9:36, they explore how compassion without direction leaves people disoriented — like sheep without a shepherd. Leadership clarity isn’t a buzzword; it’s an act of charity.

This episode walks through a simple but demanding framework:

  • Discern what God is doing in your heart.
  • Decide what actually matters most right now.
  • Shepherd your people clearly and consistently toward it.

They also break down practical meeting rhythms that reduce chaos, increase accountability, and move teams from data-dumping to decision-making.

If your parish feels busy but unfocused, this conversation offers a concrete path forward.
