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.

Guests:

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

Kyle Washut — President of Wyoming Catholic College, with a background in Eastern Christian thought

Host:

Fr. Nathan Symeon — Byzantine Catholic priest and podcast host
