The Foxhole with Father Kapaun
A podcast for those fighting on the frontlines of faith
Inspired by Servant of God Emil Kapaun, heroic Catholic Priest, and Medal of Honor Army Chaplain, we offer encouragement by connecting you with people all over the world who are living the Gospel in simple yet extraordinary ways. The battle for souls rages around us; we’re here to offer you inspiration and strength.
Produced by Kapaun’s Men.
We’ve taken a break from making current episodes, but we hope you enjoy our library of inspiration. Maybe we’ll resurrect this again in the future!
