is Your Guide to Transforming Your Parish While Deepening Its Spiritual Mission
Before we outlined the "Management as Mission Framework" - many pastors were struggling to balance their spiritual duties with parish administration. They were on the verge of burnout and we've been able to help them not only save their vocation but thrive both as a priest and in their parish.
Some pastors had given up and were just living by the status quo, while others were working 60-80 hour weeks,
juggling administrative tasks at all hours of the day (including their day off)
and that made them realize they had a job they never signed up for when they answered God's call to the priesthood.
This led us to question the conventional mindsets... And eventually, to develop a comprehensive framework that breaks down the complexities of parish leadership into manageable, mission-aligned components.
This framework, along with our management tools, allows pastors to free themselves from the chains of "running a parish office" and refocus on their true calling.
After MANY years of research, collaboration with successful parish leaders, and refining our approach, we've finally written out this framework that turns parishes into mission-driven communities that thrive both spiritually and operationally.
And right now, because you're here, you have the opportunity to access this entire framework by ordering a $29.00 book called "Management as Mission".
During the Covid-19 crisis, we realized every pastor was struggling with how to respond appropriately. We quickly started a weekly online crisis management training session and within a few weeks had priests from 5 different continents participating.
This lasted several months and we then helped them adapt and respond with innovate solutions to the lock-down situation where most people were not able to go to Mass in person.

Here's How I Went From
To Under 20 Hours Per Week
By Ignoring The Common Wisdom, Breaking All The Rules, And Turning The Online Business Model Upside Down
We've taken centuries of wisdom from the Catholic Church and the most effective business practices of modern companies and nonprofits and provided a framework that bridges the gaps. Every other parish "model" fits within this framework, so no matter what conference or coach you like, you'll see quickly how it fits into the whole.

Re: Looking to ransform your parish? (this is for you)
Surprised to see a $27.00 price tag on one of these?
I thought you might be...
Would it surprise you even more to learn that we have been running thriving parishes and coaching other pastors for the past 15 years with the information this 293-page book reveals?
Skeptical?
You should be.
After all, you can't believe everything you read on the internet...
But first, read this disclaimer:
We have the benefit of combined experience in parish leadership and management consulting, helping produce transformative results for over 437 parishes.
The average person who buys any "how to" information gets little to no results. I'm using these references for example purposes only.
Your results will vary and depend on many factors... including but not limited to your background, experience, and work ethic.
If you're not willing to accept that, please DO NOT GET THIS BOOK.
(start Reading within 2 minutes)
And yes, it took us time and energy (more than 20 hours a week) to get everything set up, configured and going...
...But once up and running - pastors are able to oversee their whole parish operation with very little administrative time on their part.
With that said...
Let me jump right in and show you:
The same Management as Mission Framework that pastors from all over the world are now using to free themselves from day-to-day operations, turn their parishes into centers of discipleship, and start growing their communities faster than ever...
While delegating 90% of their workload...
And this is something completely different, because...
This is NOT about chasing leads.
This is NOT about social media followers.
This is NOT about Facebook Ads hacks.
This is NOT about sales calls.
This is NOT about more meetings.
This is NOT about proposals.
Like I said, This is something completely different and it has the power to change everything for your parish leadership, and I know that's true...
Because it changed everything for me.
Like trying to balance budgets all the time to keep the parish afloat...
Spending COUNTLESS hours on meetings that could've been an email...
Struggling with staff management and volunteer coordination...
Feeling overwhelmed by facility maintenance issues...
Fundraising efforts that felt disconnected from our spiritual mission...
Or sending elaborate reports that seemed to miss the point of our true calling...
Instead We Focus On The So-Called 'Foundational' Stuff That Produces 80% Of Your Parish's Impact
And It Allowed Me To Create A Thriving Parish, Where I Focus On Pastoral Care And Enjoy My Ministry To The Fullest Without Feeling Guilty
There's a saying you might have heard:
serve to live. Don't live to serve.
So with that in mind...
Here's what my parish leadership looked like before (and If you've ever led a parish, then I'm sure you can relate)...
Your parish faces a new administrative challenge (or someone brings a pressing operational issue)
You need to address it immediately, so you book a meeting after some back-and-forth to figure out scheduling
You agree to summarize what was discussed and "get back to them with a solution" no later than 2 days after
You spend HOURS researching and planning, realizing you never discussed resources, and this solution will most likely come as a shock due to the time or budget required
You present the solution
Your team or parish council is, indeed, shocked at the requirements
You get pushback or silence
You follow up with stakeholders
Repeat step 7 & 8 indefinitely
Realize that every single step you just went through could've been easily avoided, if you were able to delegate certain areas of your parish and focus on the pastoral duties you're GREAT at...
Now, this not only sucked, but kept me stuck for years - forcing me to spend less than 20% of my time on true pastoral care while working myself to exhaustion.
I thought it was maybe not for me after all.
I mean, I could be at a smaller parish with fewer responsibilities...
But before I gave up and requested a transfer...
I wanted to try something.
Something that - if it worked...
It would change everything.
But it did take us years to "figure out" and finally perfect it to the point where my current parish, and those of many other pastors we've worked with, almost runs on auto-pilot (with me focused on just the highest impact pastoral activities that I deem necessary)...
...And generates a thriving, mission-driven community while I work as little as 10 hours per week on administrative tasks (sometimes, even less than that).
But before you do.
I'd like to introduce myself and tell you about how all this came to be.
My name is John Oberg, and I'm joined by my co-author, Kristian Jaloway.
You may not have heard our names before.
Or maybe, you have.
We're passionate about helping pastors transform their parishes into centers of discipleship and effective management. We've helped hundreds parishes in dozens of different dioceses to generate a compound of immeasurable spiritual growth by simply realigning their focus areas...
...And optimizing the essential elements they needed to get right before they could thrive
We have loving families.
We have incredible communities.
We have more than enough time to focus on what truly matters in ministry, all while ensuring our parishes run smoothly and effectively.
We're blessed.
And now, thanks to our Management as Mission Framework...
...We've been able to help countless pastors rediscover their joy in ministry, enjoy life, and live out their vocation in ways they never thought possible.
What exactly am I getting with this offer?
The 'Management as Mission' special offer is, indeed, special. We wanted to make it so good that you'd feel compelled to order it if having a thriving parish that gives you freedom to focus on pastoral care is of any interest to you
Do you offer more in-depth help?
Yes. We offer on-line training, an in-person workshop, roundtables for pastors and Church leaders, Executive Coaching, and full Pastoral Planning.
Who is this for?
This is for Catholic pastors and their teams who are looking to implement things in their current parishes where they can delegate, streamline, and step away from administrative work with simple systems that allow them to free 20-45+ hours per week while they transform their parishes into centers of discipleship.
What is 'Management as Mission'?
'Management as Mission' is a physical book and a systematic approach to transforming parish leadership. It is not a fad that comes and goes. It is not helping you to become an administrator or business manager. 'Management as Mission' is about creating a thriving parish that can serve its community for decades, it will give you not just freedom and fulfillment, but you'll also have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on your community.
How is this different than all the other stuff out there?
Generally, all the other stuff out there teaches pastors how to get more donations, create more programs, or work harder in hopes of, maybe, improving their parish. Anyone can do that once or twice, but then they run into problems when they realize that they were taught a "one-off" tactic that makes the advisor look good because they get a cool screenshot testimonial, but the pastor is stuck as a struggling leader, trapped inside their own parish while their personal life and spiritual well-being suffers.
