LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Father Nathan Caswell, an Evangelical convert to Catholicism with an incredible conversion story to share.

Father Nathan was raised Charismatic Evangelical, converted to Catholicism with his family on an Indigenous Reservation in Northern Canada, and spent the next several years wandering and soul-searching in the Canadian wilderness while he shrugged off religion – before ultimately becoming the Prodigal Son and returning home to his family, his faith, and eventually a vocation in the Catholic priesthood.

It’s an incredible story featuring mushroom hunting, treehouse living, and the discovery of God in the power of the ocean.
