Welcome to the Kingdom Corner Podcast, where we delve into the extraordinary journey of Pope Francis. In this episode, we explore the influential life of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, from his humble beginnings in Buenos Aires to his transformative role as the head of the Catholic Church. Drawing from Pope Francis's biography and firsthand insights from his autobiography, "Hope," we discuss the values that have shaped his path: compassion, humility, and dedication to the marginalized.

We reflect on the pivotal moments that influenced him, such as his family's immigrant background, the resilience learned in the slums of Buenos Aires, and his spiritual formation within the Jesuit tradition. The episode uncovers personal stories, like his grandmother Rosa's courageous acts and the near-tragic voyage his family narrowly avoided, which resonated deeply with him and fueled his empathy for migrants and the poor.

As we journey through his papacy, we highlight Pope Francis's commitment to social justice, his emphasis on mercy and dialogue, and his quest for a church that serves the poor. Tune in to understand what makes Pope Francis a significant figure in today's world and how his example challenges us to live with compassion and hope.
