The Need for Holy Curiosity with Dr. Gregory Bottaro
Gotta Be Saints
In this episode of Gotta Be Saints, Brendan sits down with Dr. Greg Bottaro to discuss the importance of holy curiosity and what it means to truly listen well. In a culture marked by division, assumptions, quick judgments, and constant noise, Dr. Greg explains why authentic listening is essential for healthy relationships, meaningful conversations, healing, and Christian witness.
Drawing from Catholic psychology, Scripture, marriage, friendships, and the example of Christ Himself, this conversation explores how curiosity opens the door to understanding another person’s heart without compromising truth. Dr. Greg also shares insights from his own vocational journey, the influence of Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and how accompaniment rooted in empathy and attentiveness can transform relationships.
Together, Brendan and Dr. Greg discuss conflict, communication in marriage, emotional wounds, social media culture, and the deep human desire to be truly seen and understood. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen intentionally, and rediscover the power of presence in a distracted world.
