The Letter “P”
Greetings everybody! A shout-out to all the wonderful people I met in Hilton Head last weekend. It was a joy to share the Gospel with you.
Here is this week’s episode:
Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about new records set in basketball, a home run in spring training, personal vocation, Super Tuesday, the sad situation in Haiti, what happened with Church Militant, and the capital sin of pride.
Next week I’m heading to San Pedro Island, Belize with about a dozen Franciscan students for a mission trip. We will be spending our days sharing the faith with children and teens in both the public and Catholic schools, and also doing events at the parish on the island. Please pray for us!
Because of that, we won’t be recording a podcast next week. I’m sure I’ll have lots of stories to share when we do our next episode, which will be available Wednesday, March 20th.
Attack on The George!
In this episode…
Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob risk their lives to bring you this episode! They talk about hockey, women in basketball, the NBA All-Star Game, the importance of leisure, and the sin of sloth (or acedia).Â
Enjoy!
Flowers and Ashes
In this week’s episode…
Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about the Super Bowl (which they hadn’t seen yet), the Baseball Hall of Fame, answer questions from listeners (finally!), and share their most effective Lenten fasts.Â
Hope you have a great start to Lent!
With Jake and Heather Khym
For the first time ever, two guests in our studio! Jake and Heather Khym were in town for a retreat on campus and came in to join our podcast. Here is the synopsis:
Father Dave and Deacon Bob welcome Jake and Heather Khym into their very crowded studio. They talk about F1 racing, World Cup Soccer, least favorite movies, unpopular opinions, the retreat on campus this past weekend, and share insights on God the Father.
Really fun and insightful episode, and I hope you are blessed by it!

Birthday Donuts!
In todays episode…
Perhaps eating donuts while recording isn’t the best idea, but Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob do it anyway. They talk about the NFL playoffs, argue over who gets to root for the 49ers in the Super Bowl, share what kind of art and music they enjoy, and discuss the pope’s recent comments about hell.Â
Also, I hope you like the intro to the video! After experimenting with different avatars, voices, and backgrounds, I think we’ve got it. Thanks for all the feedback!
And since I’ve recorded this episode, I have my email back. So I can start answering your questions 🙂
Wide Right
What a crazy weekend of football! My heart goes out to the Bills and their fans. Man, that must be one of the most tortured fan-bases in sports.
Here’s this week’s episode:
Father Dave shows how insensitive he is by forgetting Deacon Bob’s birthday and that the Buccaneers lost to the Lions. They discuss NFL football, witnessing faith in sports, gambling, the March for Life, the new spring semester, and challenges in parish ministry. Â
Hope you are blessed by it! And let me know if you like the AI voices at the top of the show. I tried a new cartoon which I think could be a keeper.
Pardon My French
Go Bucs! We recorded this podcast on Sunday evening, before the Buccaneers defeated the Eagles on Monday night (sorry, Eagles fans). So if you are wondering why we keep going back and forth on if the Bucs won or not, that is why!
Here’s the description for the episode:
Dcn. Bob is going to the Buccaneers’ playoff game and hopes they win (they did!). After talking about other NFL playoff games, he and Fr. Dave discuss upcoming elections, Ohio laws about transgender athletes, the upcoming March for Life, surrogacy, and the pain of infertility.
You may have noticed a new “introduction” to this (and last week’s) episode. We are trying to help listeners who may not read show descriptions online to know what they are in for each week! Also, on the YOUTUBE CHANNEL (CLICK HERE) we have “chapters” so you can jump right to a topic you’d like to hear about (or skip the ones you don’t). Let me know if you think that is helpful (because it is a lot more work!). As always, you can send an email at hope@franciscan.edu.
Welcome to 2024!
Oh, shoot! I forgot to put the episode we did two weeks ago. Sorry, I had Christmas brain!
So here is the podcast we published right before Christmas (Ep. 154: Live at the Rink!) and the one for today (Ep. 155: Welcome to 2020!). Not sure why I’ve ended so many episodes with “!”s.
Hope you all had a great Christmas season.
