The Fatherhood of God
with Father Dave Pivonka, TOR

The Fatherhood of God

Guest: Father Dave Pivonka, TOR

How do we understand God as Father when human fathers fail us? What does it really mean to be heirs of God? How do we understand priestly fatherhood when scandals fill the news?

Franciscan University Presents host Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, and panelists Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Regis Martin of Franciscan University’s Theology Department discuss those questions and more about our relationship to our heavenly Father.
