The Joyful Friar Podcast explores the soulful, the meaningful, and the mystical in three different ways. First, Afterlife, Interrupted stories, in which someone who died suddenly and traumatically seeks my help and the help of my prayer partners. Second, Compassionate Responses, to readers’ and listeners’ questions and concerns that arise from those stories. And third, Spiritual Practices, influenced by the Catholic Christian tradition I’ve been shaped by that reveal how goodness is at work throughout the universe and within each of us. Each episode reveals insights about living in the present with faith and joyful hope. Be inspired to more fully receive, magnify, and share love. www.nathan-castle.com

My Favorite Podcast

I love my Catholic faith and all things spiritual and mystical. Fr Nathan so beautifully and compassionately shares his experiences with souls, telling their stories and finding opportunities to learn in each one. I am so grateful that Fr Nathan is sharing his unique work with the world. This is my very favorite podcast!

Sick and Tired of You ,

I love this podcast! I highly recommend it to everyone. Extremely interesting!

This podcast is wonderful. I have had my own odd experiences, though different from Father Nathan’s. It’s remarkable how creative our creator is. This podcast is comforting and helps to make sense of my own experiences. Thank you Father Nathan!
