Episode Synopsis

On Padre Pio’s feast we explore how God “chisels” saints—and how Catholic educators share in that work. From Padre Pio’s image of souls as stones for an eternal dwelling to the Church’s reminder that “the teacher does not write on inanimate material, but on the very spirits of human beings,” this episode calls us to encourage, challenge, and form students toward holiness. Jonathan shares a personal story of a teacher’s tough love that changed his trajectory—and offers practical ways to partner with God in the daily grind: naming higher standards, having hard conversations, and rooting it all in prayer and the Sacraments.CTA: Subscribe, share with a colleague, and find more at JonathanDoyle.co and @jdoylespeaks.Find out about booking Jonathan to come and speak at your school or eventhttps://jonathandoyle.co/Book a coaching call with me right now - For Principal's and Leaders in Catholic Educationhttps://jonathandoyle.co/Come and join Jonathan for his daily Youtube videos:https://www.youtube.com/@onecatholicteacher/videosFind Jonathan on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jdoylespeaks/
