On this episode of Making it Personal with Bishop William Joensen, we welcome Bishop John Edward Keehner, Jr., the newly appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Sioux City. After nearly three years of anticipation, Bishop Keehner was chosen by Pope Francis to shepherd the Sioux City diocese, succeeding Bishop Walker Nickless.
Bishop Keehner shares the story of his unexpected call from the Apostolic Nuncio, his journey from Ohio to Iowa, his vocational discernment, and his heartfelt hopes for serving the people of Sioux City. He reflects on humility, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and his chosen episcopal motto: “He must increase; I must decrease.” Join us for a conversation filled with faith, gratitude, and the promise of new beginnings in this Jubilee Year of Hope.
