On this episode of FRIAR TIME, we welcome Fr. James Bok, OFM, for a deeply moving and raw conversation about faith in the midst of tragedy: Finding God in the Storm. As a Franciscan Friar who walked directly into the devastation left by Hurricanes Beryl and Melissa in Jamaica, Fr. James brings us firsthand stories of survival, heartbreak, and resilience.
Behind every headline, there are faces, fears, and a question that naturally rises in the human heart when everything is torn apart: Where is God in all of this? Join us as we explore how the people of Jamaica processed the devastating loss of their homes, memories, and sense of safety. Fr. James shares honest reflections on whether they felt like giving up, and how—even in the wreckage—faith managed to survive. Get ready to have your spirits lifted by this profound testament to the human spirit and divine grace.
