STEUBENVILLE, OHIO—Franciscan University of Steubenville recently launched Faith and Reason, a new online platform. The site, available at FaithAndReason.com, makes engaging Catholic resources created by Franciscan University more easily accessible to a wider audience.

“We are very excited to launch Franciscan University’s Faith and Reason website and offer Catholic content that educates, evangelizes, and encourages people to dive deeper into their faith journey and grow in their love for Jesus Christ,” said Kimberly Sponseller, executive director of Marketing and Communications at Franciscan University.

Faith and Reason includes:

• Full, recent episodes of Franciscan University’s long-running EWTN show, Franciscan University Presents, covering a variety of theological and cultural topics. Hosted by Franciscan University President Father Dave Pivonka, TOR ’89 with theology professors Dr. Regis Martin and Dr. Scott Hahn, the show features guests such as Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Noelle Mering, and Father Gerald Murray.
• Franciscan Magazine stories highlighting academics, student and alumni profiles, current and historical events, theology, and more.
• Podcasts from Franciscan University, including the Legends From the Hill alumni podcast and the They That Hope podcast hosted by Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, and catechetics professor Deacon Bob Rice.

It also features a brand-new podcast, Franciscan University Presents. The podcast brings episodes from the hit EWTN television show to an audio-only format for the first time, allowing listeners to enjoy Presents episodes about prayer, Church teachings, societal issues, and more while on the go. The Franciscan University Presents podcast is available to stream on Faith and Reason, as well as most major podcast apps.

Faith and Reason’s resources will continue to expand in the future, said Sponseller.

“We will regularly add new videos, articles, and other faith-filled content featuring Franciscan University’s top theologians, scholars, evangelists, guest speakers, and more for our Catholic audiences to enjoy and be edified,” she said.

The site’s name draws inspiration from St. John Paul II, who said, “Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.”
