About the Podcast

Holy Desires
Where Catholic husbands grow in intimacy, inside and outside the bedroom.
Hey, I'm Nathan. Each week, I grab a coffee and we talk about what it really means to love your wife well—especially in the bedroom.

There aren't many places where Catholic men can have honest conversations about sex. This is one of them. We'll tackle the hard stuff: the struggles, the frustrations, the questions you don't know who to ask. Let's ditch the shame and awkwardness and have authentic discussions about intimacy, desire, and becoming the husband and lover your wife deserves, inside and outside the bedroom.

Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let's begin!
