Saint Francis of Assisi: The Rich Man Who Chose Poverty

Saint Francis of Assisi was born into comfort, ambition, and dreams of glory, but he eventually chose a radically different life. In this episode of Footprints of Holiness, we follow the transformation of a wealthy, impulsive young man seeking recognition into one of the most beloved saints in Christian history. His encounter with the poor, his public renunciation of wealth, his love for creation, and his search for a faith lived with simplicity left a profound spiritual footprint. This is a story about freedom, conversion, poverty, joy, and the courage to choose another path.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
