End-of-Life University Ep. 538 Helping “Stuck Souls” Cross Over with Father Nathan Castle
Learn about the unusual work of a priest who experiences after-death communication with souls who have become “stuck” in their afterlife journey.
My guest Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest known for his work in campus ministry and his unusual calling of helping souls who have died suddenly to find peace. He discusses his unique work and how he was called to serve others in this way. He discusses the communications he receives in his dreams and how he began working with the souls who connect with him whose afterlives have been interrupted by unfinished business. He is the host of The Joyful Friar Podcast and the author of four books including his most recent: Afterlife: Interrupted Book 3 – Let Me Explain. Learn more at his website:
