AUDE CHRISTO MAGNA

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.

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.
