This is a special episode of 'Feeding Fathers' recorded at the #SEEK26 Catholic conference in Columbus, Ohio in front of a live audience, and it’s a really honest one. We got to talk about something a lot of people experience but don’t always know how to put into words: spiritual dryness and feeling far from God. We share real stories about doubt, discouragement, and what it actually looks like to keep showing up when your faith feels hard or empty. We talk about the role of community, why daily prayer still matters even when it feels pointless, and how to keep going through seasons of desolation. If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, or disconnected in your spiritual life, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Christopher Somo, Fr.
