Season 2, Episode 1 of Messy Jesus Business, hosted by Sister Julia Walsh IN THIS EPISODE: In Season 2, Episode 1, we explore the following question: what does building a Church of Oneness really mean? The answer is messy. "I think a lot of people think heaven is the suburbs. And I'm very clear that's not true," explains our guest, Father David A. Jones, who explores the intersection of church and oneness versus rugged individualism. Father Jones also shares his unique vocation story, we'll hear his understanding of what it means to be a priest of the neighborhood, and we'll talk about how our vision of heaven can be limiting, but the reign of God has space for everyone. ABOUT THE GUEST: 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.
