On this week’s episode, join Brian as he talks to Fr. Nathan Cromly, the founder and president of Eagle Eye Ministries. Fr. Nathan talks about how World Youth Day helped shape his vocation at an early age and how God called him to become a shepherd for the people. This early encounter with his faith led Fr. Nathan to create a ministry that helps young people find their way back to the faith and discover a deeper relationship with God through an adapted religious life program and excursions. Fr. Nathan’s mission of mentoring the youth comes from his desire to help them live a vibrant Catholic life in the modern age.
