Searchers of the Lost: orthodox-catholic podcast
Welcome to the Searchers of the Lost podcast! Search for the Lord with us in this orthodox catholic podcast
Join us every two weeks for new episodes.
As a searcher, I am convinced that there are so many fellow searchers out there who desire to dig deeper and search harder for the Lord (Matt.7:7), even as our mother did when Jesus was busy about the Father's buisness in the temple. My journey has been long, difficult, blessed, traversing various Protestant denominations, Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and I am positive it has not ended. Thus, this podcast is Christian, catholic, and orthodox, and everyone who loves these things should feel at home here. This priest and those I bring onto this podcast love Jesus and His Church, and our hope is to invite others into charitable and intelligent dialogue and debate, that one day we "may all be one" (John 17:21).
Remember when commenting: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”
― St. Augustine

What does it mean to be a theologian—not just academically, but spiritually? In this episode of the Searchers of the Lost Podcast, Fr. Nathan Symeon is joined by Fr. Joel Barstad and Kyle Washut for a deep and thoughtful conversation on the heart of theology.
Together, they explore how theology is more than just intellectual study—it’s the pursuit of the living God. Drawing from the rich tradition of the Eastern Church, the guests reflect on the role of prayer, suffering, asceticism, and the Church’s life in shaping a true theologian.
Whether you’re a student of theology or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of the faith, this conversation offers timeless wisdom rooted in the patristic tradition.

Fr. Joel Barstad — Byzantine Catholic priest and seasoned professor of theology
