The answer is messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think a lot of people think heaven is the suburbs. And I&#8217;m very clear that&#8217;s not true,&#8221; explains our guest, Father David A. Jones, who explores the intersection of church and oneness versus rugged individualism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Jones also shares his unique vocation story, we&#8217;ll hear his understanding of what it means to be a priest of the neighborhood, and we&#8217;ll talk about how our vision of heaven can be limiting, but the reign of God has space for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT THE GUEST:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Jones holds a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of Economics at Grambling State University and a Master of Divinity degree from the University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein Seminary. On December 15, 1989 the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin ordained David to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. In 1993, after only three years of ordination, he became the youngest person appointed pastor in the Archdiocese. He is currently assigned as pastor of <a href=\"http:\/\/benedicttheafrican.org\/\">St. Benedict the African Parish<\/a> in the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago and as an Archdiocesan Dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10373\" width=\"365\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG951492.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><figcaption>Father David A.
