Lessons on LIFE from Australia's RELIGIOUS ROCKSTAR, Father Bob. #RIPFatherBob The Wise Guides with Amber Petty

    • Society & Culture

ACTIVISM OR CLICKTIVISM Which will you choose? Australia mourns the loss of Father Bob, dubbed 'The Larrikin Priest' - a man who was always clear on his role on this earth and even got thrown out of the Catholic church while doing it.

This conversation with Father Bob was recorded in 2016 for a show called On for Young And Old with my friend Erin Wallis. It seems fitting that the first man I've ever had on my podcast will be one of the wisest men I've ever met, FATHER BOB (and his dog Frank - and in this week where he left the planet.

It was such an immense blessing to spend time with this man that had such an incredibly deep and otherworldly lens on humanity, faith, religion, evolution and so, so much more. There will never be anyone like Father Bob again.
