In this episode of Made Good, we sit down with Fr. Wayne Sattler, author of And You Will Find Rest, to explore the deep spiritual wisdom of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila.

Fr. Sattler shares insights from his years as a diocesan hermit, breaking down contemplative prayer, the three dimensions of faith, and how God’s creation—including you—is inherently good. He also offers practical guidance on overcoming struggles in prayer, understanding God’s ways, and why purification is not about restriction but about restoring us to the fullness of life.

If you’ve ever felt distant from God, struggled with knowing He made you good, or wondered how to deepen your prayer life, this episode is for you.
