A Franciscan Heart in the World is a weekly podcast about finding God in everyday life. Inspired by Franciscan spirituality, we’ll explore how to see the sacred in ordinary moments—the laughter, struggles, beauty, and mess of daily living. Each episode offers reflections from life to help us live with wonder, compassion, and trust. Join us as we seek to walk gently in the world, loving it as it is and working to renew it with a Franciscan heart.
