    Friar Time: Resilience | Born or built?

    On this episode of FRIAR TIME, we welcome Fr. Jim Sabak, OFM, for a powerful conversation about Resilience: Winning, Losing, and Everything In Between. As the Director of the Master’s in Theological Studies Program at the Franciscan School of Theology in San Diego, CA, Fr. Jim is uniquely qualified to share how our personal narratives and beliefs help us navigate adversity.

    Friar Time: Breaking Addiction

    On this episode of FRIAR TIME, Fr. Jay Woods, OFM, LMSW joins us for a powerful discussion about Breaking Addiction. Fr. Jay invites us behind the velvet curtain of Broadway: a world of bright lights, standing ovations, beauty, and relentless perfection. It is a world that dazzles and inspires, yet can quietly break the soul. Fr. Jay once lived there. Night after night, he dressed the stars and helped create images that millions applauded. From the outside, it looked like a dream life, but on the inside, it became a battle for survival. Fr. Jay’s story is not about falling—it’s about being raised up. If you or anyone you know is battling addiction, this episode is certainly worth watching. FEATURING Host: Fr. David Convertino, OFM Guest: Fr.

    Insights into the Middle East: Faith, Peace & Conflict

    On this episode, FRIAR TIME welcomes Rev. Elias D. Mallon, SA, STL, PhD, for a timely and essential discussion about the Middle East. While we originally planned to discuss "Resilience" today, current events have led us to prioritize this expert view on a region in need of peace and understanding. Rev. Elias is a Catholic priest and member of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement with over forty years of experience in Christian-Muslim dialogue. Join us as we explore the human cost of war and ask impactful questions about history, power, and the spiritual changes necessary for real peace to become possible.  FEATURING Host: Fr.

Convertino , and Grey’s Anatomy Executive Producer and Director, Linda Klein, for a wonderful conversation about Pets.

    S3 E2 • Understanding Mental Illness

    Today on FRIAR TIME, Dr. Jack Drescher returns for a timely and important conversation on understanding mental illness. More than 1 in 5 adults in the United States lives with a mental illness — so why does stigma still surround it? Why do so many people struggle in silence? And how can we, as a society and as a Church, respond better? In this episode, Dr. Drescher and I explore: • Common misconceptions about mental illness  • The difference between everyday sadness and clinical depression  • Why so many people fall through the cracks of our healthcare and support systems  • The role the Church should play in addressing mental health  • How we can begin to replace stigma with compassion Dr. Drescher is a medical doctor, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, and a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He brings decades of experience and insight to this essential national conversation. It’s FRIAR TIME — let’s start talking. Thanks for Tuning In! This podcast is hosted by Fr. David Covertino, OFM.

    S3 E1 • Nationalism

    It’s the FRIAR TIME season 3 premiere!  Join me and Fr. Bryan Massingale for a conversation about Nationalism. Across our nation and our churches, we’re hearing Christian language used in ways that divide us rather than heal us, exclude some rather than welcome all, and harden hearts rather than soften them. What happens when loyalty to race, culture, or political identity begins to rival our loyalty to the Gospel? Fr. Bryan Massingale is a theologian, priest, and prophetic voice on issues of race, justice, and Catholic identity. His work calls the Church to examine not only what we believe—but how those beliefs are lived, defended, and sometimes distorted.  I hope you’ll join us for this timely episode that’s about discipleship, not politics.  Get your spirits soaring on Franciscan TV, where you’ll find UPLIFTING TV for EVERYONE.

    S2 E12 • The Battle Against Loneliness

    Today on FRIAR TIME, Bro. Paul O’Keeffe, OFM, and I bravely enter The Battle Against Loneliness. During this especially meaningful episode, we will ask questions such as:  In this time of instant communications and virtual relationships, why are we so lonely?   Can we find each other again through faith, friendship, and the example of Christ? Bro. Paul and I hope you’ll tune in, as our discussion is sure to ring true. Did you know that nearly half of all Americans report experiencing loneliness sometimes or always? Bro. Paul is the perfect discussion partner for this highly emotional topic. He holds master’s degrees in theological studies and social work, as well as a degree in sociology. He also once worked as a psychotherapist in New Jersey and served as the Clinical Director of the Counseling Office at St. Anthony’s Shrine in Boston. Can The Battle Against Loneliness be won?

    S2 E11 • The Power of Digital Presence

    Today, FRIAR TIME attempts to harness and better understand The Power of Digital Presence. Join me and our special guest, Franciscan Friar and YouTube personality with thousands of followers, Fr. Casey Cole, OFM, as we explore how social media shapes our culture, influences what we believe, and how we treat each other. Is it possible to lift people up in a space that rewards putting people down? Fr. Casey and I will answer this question and discuss an online culture that seems to be defined by outrage. Talk about must-see TV that’ll make you think long after the show is over! Just wait until you hear Fr. Casey’s personal reflections and insights about The Power of Digital Presence from a Catholic and Franciscan perspective, and the future of faith in the digital age. Thanks for Tuning In!
