037: From Battlefield to Altar: Father Thomas Marble’s Journey of Healing, Faith, and Radical Hospitality

Only a small fraction of military veterans become priests, and fewer still find their calling in an independent Catholic tradition like the Celtic Christian Church. In this inspiring episode of Your Radical Truth, host Margaret Mary O’Connor welcomes Father Thomas Marble, a combat medic turned priest, healer, and author.

Father Thomas shares how a life of constant relocation, 22 years in the military, and a deep yearning for spiritual truth led him to Celtic Christianity. He opens up about his experiences in Bosnia, his training in psychiatric nursing and chaplaincy, and how divine guidance pointed him toward a more inclusive, healing-centered form of faith.

Discover how his novel The Mission blends fantasy with Celtic wisdom, why radical hospitality is central to his ministry, and how his current studies in herbalism are helping him prepare for a new chapter of holistic healing.

Tune in for a moving conversation about service, sacred calling, women priests, and the power of spiritual authenticity.
