Introduction to The Saint Foundry
What's the Saint Foundry, Whether (and why) you should care, and what to expect
PODCAST
The following write-up is structured from the podcast. If you listen to the audio, you don’t need to read this.
Welcome to the Saint Foundry
God bless you, my brethren. I’ve been working quietly on something for a while now, and it’s finally time to share it with you. It’s called The Saint Foundry—a new apostolate dedicated to helping ordinary Catholics grow in holiness, right where they are.
I’m not launching this because I think I’m some great saint. Far from it. Like you, I stumble, fail, get lost, and then find the path again. If I’m an “expert” in anything, it’s in trying—trying hard, failing, and trying again; finding the path, losing it and finding it again with a little more clarity. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from those struggles, and I’ve built a treasury of knowledge and experience that I want to share with you, to help you along your path.
Why the Saint Foundry?
We’re living in an age when God is raising up many saints. History shows us these moments before, and I believe we’re in one now. Holiness isn’t reserved for stained-glass windows or marble statues—it’s about becoming what God envisioned you to be. That’s what sainthood really is.
The Saint Foundry is here to provide guidance for saints-in-the-making at every stage:
Beginners – just stepping onto the path, unsure where to start, but with a strong desire to begin.
Intermediate – those with some experience in the spiritual life, looking to go deeper.
Advanced – those who are already strong in the faith and practice, but may have stagnated and want to break through to the next level.
What You Can Expect
Most of the content will be written, but it may evolve to include audio or video over time. Here are some of the first things I plan to offer:
What does it really mean to be a saint? (And why that includes you, believe it or not!)
Theology, philosophy, rhetoric, but designed for practical understanding and application to your life—coaching, not mere education.
Practical coaching on prayer and Christian meditation
Building a disciplined prayer regimen (you can’t get holy without one!)
Empowering you to know the Truth, to Live the Truth, so that you can BECOME the truth.
Learning how to discern truth from falsehood.
That last one is crucial. I’m convinced one of the devil’s main strategies today is disorientation—making lies look like truth so that even faithful Catholics are effectively disempowered and pushed off the path to holiness. Saints don’t get derailed only by sin; they get derailed when they can’t tell what’s true, and can’t decide how to be aligned with it. I want to give you the tools to see clearly, so you don’t fall into that trap.
Why Subscribe
If you want to be part of this, subscribe here on Substack. That way, you won’t miss anything—no algorithms deciding whether you get to see the content that might help you become the saint God made you to be. It’s not about numbers for me. But no one is coached, trained, or led by being disengaged. You have to go to the classroom; you have to go to the field; you have to go to “boot camp”. Social media isn’t going to fulfill that. The content here will always be open to everyone, but if you want to really be a part of it, hit that subscribe button so you don’t miss anything.
Final Word
Every human being is a saint in the making. But some of you are called to stand out a little more. You may not become a canonized saint, but you are called to be saints nevertheless—to shine brighter, to lead the way, to bring a flood of the light of Christ into the dark of this modern world. The Saint Foundry is here to help you take those next steps.
So—welcome to the Saint Foundry. God bless you. I’ll see you again soon.
Exciting!
Looking forward to it! 👍🙏
