In this festive episode of Living Marist, hosts Cesar Oñate and Ellen Van Cleef welcome Brother Ryan Richter, a Marist Brother with a world record for the longest high five and a passion for service. Brother Ryan shares his journey from small-town Texas to becoming a Marist Brother, inspired by mentors and a leap of faith. From orchestrating a live Nativity scene with goats and a baby to leading meaningful retreats, he reflects on the fulfilling chaos of campus ministry and the importance of being open to the Spirit’s call.
Join the fun as Brother Ryan tackles lighthearted “How Do You Feel About…” questions, offering his takes on pineapple pizza, magicians, and noodle-like hairstyles. He also delves into his favorite traditions, New Year’s resolutions, and advice for young people finding their path in life: “Do not be afraid—try new things!” Packed with humor, reflection, and inspiration, this episode is a testament to living joyfully and authentically in faith.
