Putting a Face on Homelessness: Stories of Faith, Dignity, and Christ with Br. Andrew Dinegar, OFM

Today on Friar Time, we dig deeper into an issue many of us know only on a surface level: Putting a Face on Homelessness.

We see the unhoused in our local communities and places we visit. A quick search reveals staggering statistics—hundreds of thousands of people across the country experiencing homelessness every night, sleeping in tents, on sidewalks, under bridges, or in their cars. Yet as overwhelming as these numbers are, the real heart of the issue lies in the human stories behind them.

Joining us for this eye-opening episode is Br. Andrew Dinegar, OFM, a Franciscan Friar who has spent years walking directly alongside men and women experiencing homelessness. Brother Andrew doesn't just know the statistics—he knows their names and their personal journeys. Through these encounters, he has come to discover the face of Christ in a profound way.
