Greg Boyle, director of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, CA. They discuss Fr. Greg\u2019s journey into being a Jesuit priest who serves gang members and the mission of Homeboy Industries. Homeboy Industries is the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, welcoming thousands through our doors each year.\u00a0 Homeboy is centered in its principles that \u201ceveryone is good (no exceptions)\u201d and \u201cwe belong to each other (no exceptions.)\u201d Fr. Greg shared how the Gospel of Jesus Christ motivates him to build a community of \u201ccherished belonging\u201d that welcomes and honors the wholeness of each person who is encountered.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sister Julia and Fr. Greg explore how Christians go to the margins to be changed, not to reach people or succeed, but try to be helpful. Sister Julia asks about the tension of running a successful nonprofit and being faithful to the Gospel call to be on the margins of society. They also get into the value of storytelling for moving minds and hearts, the importance of having healthy images of God and what Church and holiness mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE GUEST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Greg Boyle is a Jesuit priest and native Angeleno. From 1986 to 1992 Father Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, then the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles in a neighborhood with the most gang activity in the city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1988 Father Boyle, along with parish and community members, started what would become Homeboy Industries. Homeboy employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, and provides critical services to thousands of men and women who walk through its doors every year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Boyle is the author of the 2010 <em>New York Times<\/em>-bestseller <em>Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion<\/em>; 2017\u2019s <em>Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship<\/em>; and 2021\u2019s <em>The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness.&nbsp;<\/em>He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame.&nbsp; In 2014, President Obama named Father Boyle a <em>Champion of Change<\/em>.&nbsp; He received the University of Notre Dame\u2019s 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/homeboyindustries.org\/\">https:\/\/homeboyindustries.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MESSY JESUS BUSINESS<\/strong>&nbsp;is hosted by Sister Julia Walsh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced and edited by Colin Wambsgans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:messyjesusbusiness@gmail.com\">messyjesusbusiness@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BE SOCIAL:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness\"><br>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MessyJesusBusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/messyjesusbiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@messyjesusbiz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/messyjesusbusiness\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/messyjesusbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S<strong>UPPORT US:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/messyjesusbusiness\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/messyjesusbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Podcast:&nbsp;Play in new window&nbsp;|&nbsp;Download Episode 65 of Messy Jesus Business podcast, with Sister Julia Walsh.
