In this episode of Made Good, we sit down with Fr. Wayne Sattler, author of And You Will Find Rest, to explore the deep spiritual wisdom of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila.
Fr. Sattler shares insights from his years as a diocesan hermit, breaking down contemplative prayer, the three dimensions of faith, and how God’s creation—including you—is inherently good. He also offers practical guidance on overcoming struggles in prayer, understanding God’s ways, and why purification is not about restriction but about restoring us to the fullness of life.
If you’ve ever felt distant from God, struggled with knowing He made you good, or wondered how to deepen your prayer life, this episode is for you.
✔️ How to experience God as a person in your daily life
✔️ What it means to be made good in God’s image
✔️ Why purification leads to greater joy and freedom
✔️ Practical tips for overcoming dryness and distraction in prayer
✔️ Common miscommunications about how God speaks to us✔️ Best practices for fasting during Lent and throughout the year

As we approach the season of Lent, many women with a history of disordered eating can feel anxious about the idea of fasting. In this brief but insightful conversation with Father Wayne Sattler, we explore how women can approach Lent with a healing mindset—balancing spiritual growth and self-compassion, while navigating the potential triggers fasting can bring.
