Goodfaith

?? Announcement: Our New Research Project with Goodfaith! ?? Hey everyone! We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new research collaboration between Future of Faith and Goodfaith. This partnership brings together our expertise in Sacred Listening research methodology with Goodfaith’s inspiring Family Matters initiative. About the Project Goodfaith is launching their Family Matters initiative, a groundbreaking program designed to empower parents as the protagonists of faith in their families’ lives. Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, this initiative aims to foster deep, meaningful faith experiences within families. ??? Our Role At Future of Faith, we believe in the transformative power of listening. Our Sacred Listening research methodology is at the core of this project. We will walk alongside Goodfaith, listening and learning from the experiences of those engaged in the Family Matters initiative. Through this multi-year research project, we aim to understand the process, outcomes, and impact of the initiative, providing valuable insights to help shape and transform their work. ???? Why This Matters 1. Empowering Families: By focusing on parents as faith leaders, the Family Matters initiative seeks to create lasting spiritual growth within families. This aligns with our mission to support and nurture faith communities through meaningful connections. ???? 2. Informed Insights: Our research will provide Goodfaith with real-time, actionable data, helping them to refine and enhance their program based on the lived experiences of participants. ???? 3. Transformative Impact: Together, we aim to create a model of faith formation that is deeply rooted in listening, learning, and adapting to the needs of families. This project has the potential to make a significant impact on how faith is lived and experienced in family settings. ???? We’re excited to embark on this journey with Goodfaith and look forward to sharing our findings and insights along the way. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and the impact of the Family Matters initiative.
