Washing feet, Tina Turner & Authentic - Transformational Leadership in action with Fr. James Mallon.

Who's that Leader in the Mirror? In this episode, we talk about IDD Imagination Deficit Disorder and the confluence of leadership and love as an influence. I truly believe that Fr. James is uniquely an authentic transformational leader and I use these adjectives together very purposefully. We like to call him Fr. Jon Bon Jovi - tune in and you'll find out why! There's soooo many gems in this episode.

So, who is Fr. James Mallon?

Fr. James is the pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and founder of the Divine Renovation ministry.

Fr. James is also the author of the best-selling book Divine Renovation: From A Maintenance to a Missional Parish, an engaging guide for parishes seeking to cultivate vibrant and dynamic faith communities centered on missionary discipleship. In 2016, Fr. James also authored the Divine Renovation Guidebook, a step-by-step manual for transforming a parish. The message of Divine Renovation has resonated in the hearts of tens of thousands of pastors and the laity throughout the world. It has inspired and motivated them to act and seek help in transforming their own faith community.  To answer their needs, the Divine Renovation Ministry was created.

In 2019, Fr. James co-authored the book, Unlocking Your Parish with Ron Huntley an inspiring and practical read on Alpha as a powerful tool for evangelization and discipleship. Fr. James' latest book, Beyond the Parish, released in April 2020 offers a thought-provoking analysis of the challenges the church faces along with the practical tools that will support parish and diocesan leaders in bringing about parish renewal.

Released in the fall of 2022, Thriving Faith, is Fr. James' newest book. This publication was created from a number of homilies that he gave at Our Lady of Guadalupe in its first year. Written for the people in the pews, it shares wonderful reflections and vision for a different way of being Church.

He currently resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In addition to his ministry, Fr. James loves soccer, movies, photography, dogs, everything Apple and good single malt scotch.
