Nathaniel Binversie

Most of us have wounds we've never properly named and grudges we've never properly released. In this episode, Nathaniel walks through two phrases that change everything: "I am sorry for..." and "I forgive you." Not vague apologies, but specific ownership. Not silent resentment, but active release. For those carrying deep hurts from people who never apologised, there&#39...

Do you pick your parish based on the music, the liturgy, or how welcome you felt? Nathaniel challenges the habit of church-shopping and makes a simple, concrete case: canon law already makes you a parishioner of whichever parish covers where you live, whether you've registered or not. Real parish life isn't a Sunday check-in. It's a community you live, breathe, and build with, all week...

Do you relate to Jesus as a distant Lord, or as a spouse? In this episode, Nathaniel opens up the Church's bridal theology, including what it means for men, and explains why every Eucharist is a spousal union with Christ the bridegroom. Drawing on St. Francis Xavier and St. Francis of Assisi, he makes the case that the saints weren't crazy. They were just wildly in love. 🔴 THIS SERIES Nat...

Do you actually have people over, or does your house quietly say "this space is mine"? In this episode, Nathaniel challenges you to look honestly at your home and your car and ask whether they're ready to welcome someone in. Drawing on the idea of Christian stewardship, he makes the case that hospitality is one of the most direct and overlooked ways to lead people to Christ. Inviting...

Do you ever feel like the conversation around sex, even in Catholic circles, stays shallow? Nathaniel digs into what's really going on beneath the surface: why sex is designed as an act of self-giving, what it means for a man to truly give himself to his wife, and why treating sex as something to take from rather than give to does real damage. There's more here than most of us were ever ta...

With so many spiritual practices out there, how do you know which ones are actually worth your time? In this episode, Nathaniel makes the case for one habit above all others: the daily examen. He breaks down its three parts, acknowledging where you won, owning where you failed, and deciding what you will do differently tomorrow, and explains why this one practice can unlock every other habit you a...

Do you ever wonder how much time you actually owe God in a world this full of good things? Sports, work, art, travel, the latest show everyone is talking about. In this episode, Nathaniel reframes the question entirely. Instead of asking how much time we have to give the Lord amid everything else, he shows what changes when we start from relationship with him and let him lead us into the good thin...

Could you sit in silence with God for an hour? In this episode, Nathaniel walks through what a holy hour actually looks like, why it matters, and a simple 5-15-20-15-5 structure to follow when an hour feels overwhelming. If you've wanted to take prayer more seriously but never known where to start, this is a clear place to begin. 🔴 THIS SERIES Nathaniel Binversie | Ep. 13 This is a weekly vid...

Do you ever finish a Catholic video, podcast, or talk and just move straight to the next one? In this episode, Nathaniel gets direct. He shares a phrase Dr Scott Hahn used at Franciscan, "spiritual constipation," and asks the question most of us avoid: are we actually living what we keep taking in? The good stuff only changes you if you stop, sit, and pray. If you have not been giving th...

Why does anxiety keep coming back, even when you pray? In this episode, Nathaniel reflects on the Easter Octave and Christ as Victor, the one who conquered sin, death, and hell itself. He shares a simple litmus test: if you're anxious, you're probably trying to do it alone, ahead of God or apart from him instead of with him. The way back is remembering who you are. A beloved son or daughte...

Are you in control of your words, or are your words in control of you? In this episode, Nathaniel tells the story of confronting a band cursing in church right before Mass, the unexpected twist five months later, and why he is not okay with swearing. He pushes past easy answers and asks a harder question: when we lose control of our tongue, who is actually leading us? A direct invitation to take a...

Do you ever feel like you're losing the fight with pornography, masturbation, or lust? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie steps back from willpower and looks at something deeper. Drawing on his own years-long struggle for chastity, he reflects on why the real secret is becoming more fully Christian: relating to the Father in prayer, living from your identity as a son in the Son, and letting...

Do you ever wonder how much alcohol is too much, or where to draw the line? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie steps back from that question and looks at something deeper. Beginning with the Wedding Feast at Cana, he reflects on what the wine truly represents and what it means that Christ restores it when it runs dry. Alcohol is not the problem, but how we use it matters. Whether through enjoyin...

Do you ever find yourself going back to the same things, hoping they’ll make you happy, but they never quite do? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie reflects on the quiet disappointment many of us experience: the things we chase can satisfy us for a moment, but they don’t last. Again and again, we return to them, only to find ourselves empty. He contrasts this with a different way of living. A li...

Do you ever tell yourself you just need a break… but deep down know you’re avoiding something? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie explores a question many of us don’t ask honestly enough: is laziness actually a sin, or is it just rest? While rest is good and even necessary, laziness is something different. It’s not about doing nothing. It’s about not doing what we know God is asking of us. Drawi...

Do you ever leave Mass thinking about what you got out of it? In this episode, Nathaniel challenges a common mindset and shows how many of us approach the Mass the wrong way. Rather than focusing on what we receive, he explains how the Mass is about what we bring, our lives, our sacrifices, and our offering to God. Drawing on the meaning of the offertory and our call to live out our baptismal prie...

Do you ever feel afraid to go to confession, or tempted to put it off for just a little longer? In this episode, Nathaniel reflects on why the sacrament of reconciliation can feel so difficult to approach and why the enemy works so hard to keep us away from it. Drawing on his own experience of hesitation, guilt, and distraction, he shows how these fears often reveal just how powerful confession tr...

Do you ever feel anxious, distracted, or constantly pulled back to your phone? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie reflects on our relationship with technology and how easily it can begin to master us rather than serve us. Instead of letting our attention, peace, and time be controlled by constant notifications, Nathaniel offers practical steps to reclaim freedom and focus. From simple phone sett...

Does meditation really belong in the Christian life, or does it pull us away from God? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie reflects on the difference between emptying yourself and opening yourself to Someone. While much of the world speaks about detaching, zoning out, or inventing your own identity, Christian meditation is about relationship, about making space to receive who you are from the Fat...

Are you making decisions based on what feels good today, or on who you are called to become? In this first episode, Nathaniel Binversie introduces the “lens of vocation”, a simple but powerful way to see every choice in your life. From college decisions to marriage, finances, friendships, and even how you spend your evenings, he shows how vocation is not just something you discern once, but a path...
