Ancient Prayer and Modern Technology

Guest: Alex Jones

How can we help ourselves make time for prayer in our busy, distracted lives?

Is there a way to spend the entire day in conversation with God, without becoming a hermit?

Can our phones help us live in the presence of God?

Alex Jones, founder of Hallow, the Catholic prayer and meditation app, discusses those questions and more with Franciscan University Presents host Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, president of Franciscan University, and panelists Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Regis Martin of Franciscan University’s Theology Department.
