How I Actually Met God with Tim Nichols

What happens when someone spends years around faith but hasn’t truly encountered God?

In this episode, we sit down with Tim Nicholls to explore a powerful journey from knowing about God to actually knowing Him. Tim shares the moment that changed everything for him — a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit — and how that experience reshaped his faith, his vocation, and the direction of his life.

Together, we explore questions many Catholics quietly wrestle with. Is one spiritual encounter enough? Why do so many people drift after Confirmation? What does discipleship really mean, and is faith meant to be private or lived openly?

Drawing on decades of experience in ministry, nursing, and formation, Tim challenges the idea that mission is only for priests or religious. He speaks honestly about the vocation of the laity, living faith in ordinary work, and why Confirmation should be understood as a commissioning rather than a graduation.

This conversation is thoughtful, practical, and deeply human. Whether you are discerning your calling, feeling spiritually stuck, or trying to understand how faith fits into everyday life, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and direction.
