How the Heck Did We Get Here? Episode 100 Gotta Be Saints

    • Christianity

On episode one hundred of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I was interviewed by my good friend, Natalie Khalil.

Biography:

My name is Brendan Gotta and I am the creator of Gotta Be Saints.

I’m 29 years old, from a family of 10 (seven siblings) and am currently residing in the Charlotte, NC, with my wife, Meredith. I work for Trinity Road LLC. as the Manager of Corporate Communications and Evangelization. 
I'm an avid golfer, a lover of pizza, and have yet to find a place that isn't drivable. I’m one of the most extroverted people you’ll ever come across, and nothing brings me more joy than meeting new friends or connecting with old ones.

I’m always singing, making jokes and taking life only as seriously as I need to. I’d like to believe that I’m always looking for the good in others, and when possible, helping them to see it too.

My favorite saints are St. Peter, St. Louis Marie de Montfort, St. Peter Julian Eymard, St. Faustina, St. Francis of Assisi and Blessed Stanley Rother. I love the Blessed Virgin Mary a lot and my favorite Marian title is Mother.

I think personal prayer is essential to living out one's vocation, along with frequent reception of holy communion and regular confession. I think God wants to make us saints and we just need to accept the graces put before us.

And I think that’s it.

God bless you and know of my prayers!
