Let the Friar Fall

Let the Friar Fall

Sep 29, 2020

In this episode, you learn that Bob knows a lot about movies, Fr. Dave knows a lot about politics, and neither of them know anything about chess. Fr. Dave and Bob discuss the Amy Coney Barrett nomination, high school football, inspirational words from St. Therese of Lisieux, and how Franciscans celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi.

About “They That Hope”

Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, and Dr. Bob Rice are friends who see humor and hope in a crazy world. Whether they are talking about sports, movies, politics, the Catholic Church, or their own lives, Fr. Dave and Bob try to find Christ in all things, even in the messiness of today’s culture. “They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Come be refreshed and renewed! Brought to you by Franciscan University of Steubenville.
