  • Finding Joy with Guest: Dr. Bruce Greyson
    2025/09/02

    This encore episode of The Joyful Friar shares last year's episode of Dr. Bruce Greyson in honor of the conclusion of the IANDS Conference, which he co-founded.

    Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry.

    Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama’s compound in Dharamsala, India. He has earned awards for his medical research and was elected a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the highest honor bestowed by that organization.

    He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

    Dr. Greyson is the author of "After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond." The book challenges our everyday ideas about our minds and our brains and offers key insights on how we can begin to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

  • Finding Joy with Guests: Karen Saliba and Kim Sharp
    2025/07/22

    Fr. Nathan is accompanied by therapist and prayer partners Karen Saliba and Kim Sharp as they discuss practical steps for finding joy in difficult times.

    Karen Saliba, PsyD, MFT, is a psychoanalyst, working with couples and individuals who want to live in healthy harmony with one another, their families, and their communities. She believes that we can be healed from our Earthly life hurts by engaging in dynamic and compassionate relationships.

    As a prayer partner with Father Nathan, she has learned so much about love, spirituality and how we are never alone. Her husband and two daughters support her endeavors to inspire hope for those in this life and afterwards. Her relationship to athletics and pickleball is also very close to her mind, body, and soul. https://www.karensalibatherapy.com

    Kim Sharp, LMFT, DTM, is a psychotherapist working in San Pedro, California. She loves helping people connect with the deepest part of themselves, which can promote joy, peace, and relief in their lives. Functioning from a mind-body-spirit perspective, she has witnessed how when we do our own inner work, it can lead to a deeply meaningful and fun life!

    Working as a prayer partner with Father Nathan, Kimberly is continually reminded of how benevolent and loving the “other side” is, and has been amazed at the creative ingenuity that is employed by heavenly helpers to support souls on their journey in the afterlife.

    When Kim isn’t working with clients or assisting Father Nathan, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, working out, dancing, sailing, and singing. She also enjoys volunteering in various capacities with Toastmasters International and in her home parish of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in San Pedro, California. You can find more about her work at https://www.kimberlysharpmft.com.
