Breaking In The Habit
by Fr. Casey Cole, OFM
Summer 2015. Two Franciscan friars drive across the country from California to Washington, D.C., and one of them films it. That was Br. Casey Cole, then in initial formation with the Franciscans. The road-trip clips led to a regular video series, Breaking In The Habit. Today he's Fr. Casey Cole, OFM, a priest, and the channel has grown into a wide-ranging catalog.
Fr. Casey describes the videos as personal reflections and explanations from a Catholic and Franciscan perspective for Christians who want to be better disciples and discern their vocation. They explain Catholic beliefs and practices, reflect on Scripture and the saints, discuss prayer and discipleship, and wrestle with questions about the Church today. His tone is conversational and thoughtful, shaped by the Franciscan concern for simplicity, peace and the poor.
It suits inquirers who want a gentle, personal introduction to Catholic life, young adults, and anyone curious about religious life. Browse the playlists for the topics you're covering in OCIA.
