Father Stephen Gadberry

Got to meet the Pope a number of times, a bunch of cardinals and bishops from all over the world and stuff. So, like, I know a lot of people in power. And I've never met anyone that's, like,

Yeah, so I did it twice, 2018, 2020. I didn't make it through the first round. They just invited me on. I was like, well, sure, why not? I didn't know what the hell I was doing, but... Just, I gave it a shot. It was fun. One of them was in Dallas. The other one was in St. Louis. You know, cool thing about that. Like you mentioned the Instagram page earlier.

I don't put a lot of ministry stuff on there. It's not like I'm hiding the priesthood. It's actually like quite the opposite. I don't put a lot of pastoral ministry out there because the souls of the people that I'm with are sacred. Like people, your soul is sacred, John. Like mine is. Like the human soul is a sacred thing. God dwells within that.

And whenever I'm privileged to have an encounter with a soul in my church, a sheep of my flock, I take that seriously. And so like, I don't put that stuff on social media. Like I'll share some stuff every now and then, like some school stuff, I'll share some things with the school, other things in ministry, but it's not a lot because that's such a sacred thing.

I share a lot of my own personal life. I don't hesitate to share my soul with people. So the neat thing with the Ninja Warrior, I did that. I got a lot of pushback from people, a whole bunch of pushback. From who? Priests, some other priests. Why? Also some of the people in the church as well. Because it wasn't a holy thing.

You should be doing holy stuff like praying or studying or stuff like this. You shouldn't be wasting your time going on TV and doing the Ninja Warrior thing. But you know what was really cool about it was to bring it back full circle. Like this connected the Vatican II stuff. We gotta be in the world, but not of it. We have to go out and preach the gospel boldly.
