The origins of the Saint John Institute date back to 2003 when Eagle Eye Ministries held its first retreat. Today, SJI is a thriving leadership institute providing much desired instruction to families, businesses, young adults and entrepreneurs. In so many ways we live in a broken world and we need to raise up leaders who can rise to the challenge to bring virtue and hope to those who want to live an excellent, deep and meaningful life. Through Eagle Eye Ministries, we Inspire. Through the Saint John Leadership Institute, we Equip. Through the Saint John Leadership Network, we Engage.

What We Do
Father Nathan has delivered over 200 episodes of the Dare Great Things for Christ™ podcast. During the COVID19 crisis, he realized that there was an urgent need to hear words of hope and truth through a digital presence, and the idea of the Dare Great Things™ content site was born in order to face the growing darkness. Fully launching in 2023, Dare Great Things™ will offer a wealth of free content, but will also go deeper and offer courses to inspire you and hold you accountable for becoming a saint.
It’s not easy to live in a world where fear is motivating people to stay back and not lead. We were not meant to live this way. The Saint John Leadership Network (SJLN) is a community of leaders who dare to say no to fear–in their families, their businesses and in their communities. We are people who say yes to success and dare to lead our people there no matter what. Through spiritual coaching, master classes, retreats and more, you will experience the joy of living life as a virtuous leader equipped to help those who depend upon you to navigate the ever-changing waters we face today.

Young Catholics thirst for a deep encounter with Jesus Christ and authentic friendship. Eagle Eye ministries was born from a need to answer that cry of young adults for deep and meaningful formation. Since 2003 we have responded by providing retreats and expeditions in 8 states and an engaging media outreach. Under the formation of the Brothers of the Community of Saint John, Eagle Eye has encouraged over 50 vocations to religious life and a steady stream of young faithful families.
