The Walk

Last week was a blur. Between TV interviews, an online course, rainy bike rides to Mass, and hosting a Star Wars convention, I found myself teetering between total exhaustion and surprising moments of grace.

In this episode of The Walk, I share:

• What it was like to interview three radically different guests for TV in one day—especially one who claimed God told her she’d die at 62 if she didn’t stop drinking.

• Why being a priest at a fantasy convention might be the most “Jesus-like” thing I do.

• How I ended up improvising a homily at the last minute—and why it actually worked.

• And how writing a medieval fantasy version of The Empire Strikes Back nearly derailed my prep for hosting a Star Wars event (oops).

Looking back, I realize how much my ministry has changed. I used to think being a priest meant preaching and teaching. These days, I think it's more about walking with people—even if it means doing so in a Wookiee-filled convention center.

I’m still figuring things out. But one thing I’ve learned: trust opens doors. To conversations. To faith. To joy.

This episode is messy, personal, and full of stories from behind the scenes. If you're curious what it's like to be a priest, a geek, and a tired human being all at once, hit play.
