04 Dec 2025

Description

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Father David Vard, a Kildare native and one of Ireland’s youngest priests, who graduated seminary at just 25. Father David speaks openly about his journey to the priesthood, emphasizing the importance of faith and God in navigating life and expressing a willingness to embrace his beliefs, regardless of external judgment. With rare candour, Father David opens up about the loneliness he sometimes feels, the vow of celibacy and addresses criticism head-on, including being willing to be judged or ridiculed for his convictions. This is a conversation about spirituality as a personal journey, about growth through belief, and about the gift.LinksMy new thriller How It Falls Apart out now 🧨Dark Finds Podcast IG 👀 Patreon 🙌🏼Dark Finds IG 💀Dark Finds YouTube Channel 🎬 Dark Finds Book 📖 TakeawaysDavid believes in a God who loves and cares for us.He feels that God is evident in creation and our lives.Faith provides guidance that individuals cannot achieve alone.David is open to criticism regarding his beliefs.He values personal connection with the divine.Belief in God can lead to personal growth and understanding.David's faith shapes his worldview and decisions.He encourages others to embrace their beliefs.Criticism of faith should not deter personal convictions.Spirituality is a personal journey that varies for everyone.Keywordsfaith, divine guidance, belief, spirituality, personal growth, God, creation, love, criticism, self-discovery, Christian, Catholic.
