In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints podcast, I sit down with Fr. John Nepil to explore the profound spiritual lessons that come from journeying through the wilderness—literally and figuratively. A priest of the Archdiocese of Denver and member of the Companions of Christ, Fr. John shares stories from his 486-mile trek along the Colorado Trail and the reflections that led to his new book, To the Heights and Unto Depths: Letters from the Colorado Trail.We talk about how pilgrimage shapes our understanding of faith, the beauty of silence and solitude, and how adventure in the outdoors can act as a powerful metaphor for the interior life. Fr. John explains why the wilderness is a privileged space for Catholic formation and how community, challenge, and even suffering are vital to encountering Christ in a deeper way.Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, someone feeling spiritually restless, or just curious about the intersection of nature, faith, and discipline, this conversation will inspire you to consider the road less traveled—especially during this Lenten season.Topics Covered:How pilgrimage cultivates hope and detachmentWhy the mountains offer a unique setting for formationThe spiritual importance of silence, stillness, and solitudeNavigating the tension between comfort and sacrificeBuilding authentic community on the journey to holiness
Fr. John Jaddou - 4th Sunday of Lent 2025 by Chaldean Diocese
Fr John Corrigan says the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, leading to repentance and transformation, while the devil condemns, fostering shame and despair. Conviction fosters guilt leading to conversion, while condemnation breeds shame that keeps us trapped in darkness

Sacraments Series - Reconciliation and Lent
Fr John Corrigan says that the Transfiguration reveals the essence of contemplative prayer. The Transfiguration does not change Jesus but instead transfigures the apostles, illuminating their understanding and enabling them to see reality more clearly. Contemplative prayer, likewise, transforms one's perception, allowing us to recognize Christ in all things

In this Sunday's homily, Fr. Hollowell reflects on Jesus' call to forgive and what true Christian forgiveness looks like. Drawing from the wisdom of Dietrich von Hildebrand, he explores the two extremes that can hinder real forgiveness—harboring hatred or simply burying the hurt without addressing it. True reconciliation, especially within our closest relationships, requires not only an inward act of forgiveness but also honest conversation and repentance. Join us as we reflect on Jesus' words: “Forgive, and you will be forgiven” and pray for healing in our relationships.

It is often said that one can find God in nature, but few have explored the theology behind such a common statement. Join us as Fr. John Nepil talks with Andrew Petiprin about the theological lessons and underpinnings of mountain hiking, which he details in his new book To Heights and Unto Depths. This book and the ensuing conversation artfully weave together theological insights and real-world experience. Fr. Nepil and Andrew examine the spiritual benefits of the outdoors, both the joys of reaching the summit and the lows felt during arduous hours hiking. They also discuss the modern crisis of manhood, the responsibility of leadership, and how the works of theologians such as Von Balthasar, Cardinal Ratzinger, and Luigi Giussani can reveal spiritual wisdom found on the trail. For those who love the outdoors or theology, this episode is a must watch!

Today, I have Fr. John Whiteford and Jim Jatras back on the show. We are breaking down and answering critiques that were presented by Pastor Joel Webbon, Pastor J. Chase Davis, and others in a podcast from Right Response Ministries called "Why Young Men Are Flocking To Eastern Orthodoxy" (). Right Response Ministries is a Protestant group, and they have several very good podcast episodes; they're definitely not enemies. We disagree on how they present the Orthodox Church, though, and that's why we wanted to make this response to them.
