Gregory Boyle is a beloved Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries, a gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in Los Angeles. He's also a New York Times–bestselling author. His new book is called Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times. (It may sound soft and saccharine—but it's not.) Father Boyle explains why he so deeply believes two things: One, that everyone is unshakably good. And two, that everyone belongs to us. He talks about the difference between hope and optimism, and forgiveness and mercy. And why the moral quest has never kept us moral. It's just kept us from each other. He also talks about what prohibits us from making progress, how to get underneath a complex issue, and his way of holding a container in which someone else can feel their wholeness.

I'm excited to have Father Gregory Boyle and Fabian Debora on the podcast. Both are with Homeboy Industries. Father Boyle is the Founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention program in the world. He is a wonderful communicator and his books have been New York Times bestsellers. This book, Forgive... The post Gregory Boyle SJ & Fabian Debora – episode 335 appeared first on Anita Lustrea.

Our guest today, Fr. Gregory Boyle, is the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. A native of Los Angeles and a Jesuit priest, Father Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, then the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles, which also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city. Father Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish- and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. Fr. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. And his new book, The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness, was published by Avid Reader Press in 2021.

On this episode, Gregory Boyle joins Mark Bauerlein to discuss his new book, "The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness."

This week's sermon is the third in our series called "Questions of Faith" and answers the question "Did God make us good?" The question arises from some of our members who have been studying Fr. Richard Rohr and Fr. Gregory Boyle - both of whom are Roman Catholic priests. What our members noticed is that there is a difference between the Catholic's view of humanity and what the Presbyterian church has taught. To get at this week's question, the sermon focused on the first story of creation in Genesis 1:26-2:3.  This sermon was preached by Rev. Pen Peery on February 20, 2022 at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte.

Grabbing Life by the Horns 1/2   From the beautiful port city of Montego Bay, Jamaica to the bustling city of Toronto, Canada hails this week's guest, Barbara Harrison. Currently she is the Head of the Nursing Department at Andrews University. We had a wonderful interview talking about her early sources of inspiration and what fuels her passion for teaching today. While being soft spoken, you can definitely sense her tenacity, which will inspire you to greater heights in whatever path you may pursue in life.   In this week's episode, learn: How to accept drastic change and adapt in a new environment How to overcome personal fears and thrive How to take what you read and make it real in your life   Quotes from today's episode   “Temptation, poverty, adversity, is the very discipline needed to develop purity and firmness.” DA 72.2   “Jesus did not shirk care and responsibility, as do many who profess to be His followers. It is because they seek to evade this discipline that so many are weak and inefficient. They may possess precious and amiable traits, but they are nerveless and almost useless when difficulties are to be met or obstacles surmounted.” DA 73.1   Books Recommended by Barbara Harrison: Desire of Ages by Ellen G.

We can always use stories of redemption. Father GREGORY BOYLE created HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES to provide jobs, training, and encouragement so that young people -- often former enemies -- could work together and learn mutual respect. BOYLE has made a point of collecting powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more of those than anyone should know. As of this 2010 conversation, he had buried 168 of his homies, and filled his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. Our conversation also includes LUIS PEREZ, one of the senior staff at Homeboy.

We can always use stories of redemption. Ira Glass says the best story form is the one used in sermons: stories with lessons. Father GREGORY BOYLE has made a point of collecting uniquely powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more of those than anyone should know. As of 2010, he had buried 168 of his homies, and filled his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. I read it cover to cover on a plane flight and cried at least a dozen times. Father Boyle's compassion is boundless. Our conversation also includes LUIS PEREZ, one of the senior staff at Homeboy.

Republicans continue to work to ban teaching about Black Americans' place in our history – their legislation, proposed in 27 states, would prohibit teaching the 1619 Project, which has just published a book offering what the authors call “a new origin story” about the United States. Martha Jones, a historian at Johns Hopkins University, and one of the contributors, talks about the battle, the book, and the larger project.Plus: Father Greg Boyle is the founder of Homebody Industries, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and reentry program on the planet. He's got a new book out now, it's about “the power of extravagant tenderness” and it's called “The Whole Language.”Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Luke Preussler brings perspective on the role of the faith community among individuals living within the margins.

Brought to you by Out of Hours.Today's guest is Gregory Boyle, the founder of Homeboy Industries - the largest gang rehabilitation program on the planet. In the wake of the 1992 LA riots, he started a small project: called Jobs for a Future - a way of helping rival gang members find employment. The success of this project led to Homeboy Industries is now the largest and most successful gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world.He famously looks to serve those who ‘want help' not those who ‘need help' - supporting 15,000 men and women a year - through initiatives like tattoo removal, therapy, work readiness, and legal assistance, and job training in one of their many businesses.He's also written two books - including the New York times best seller Tattoos on the Heart.We talked about radical kinship, how to maintain compassion over judgement, what he thinks causes police brutality and why you shouldn't focus on what impact you're going to have on the world.Check out OutofHours.org or check out Homeboy Industries and donate here: https://homeboyindustries.org/Music by Linden Jay See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of men and women who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Father Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. His new book, Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship, was published in 2017. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, President Obama named Father Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame’s 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics.

Kaytee and Mindy are handling this week while Meredith recovers from surgery. We are so glad to have Mindy step in during tough times! As we get started, you’ll hear our first advertisement on the podcast. We have always said we’d be extremely discerning about advertisers, so Book of the Month was a perfect match for us, since we are both loyal (paying) customers. We hope you’ll give them a try and get your first book for just $9.99 when you use the code CURRENTLYREADING! If you’re interested, please use our link so they know we sent you.

Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. Every single book this week was a “turn” from the previous title discussed, so we are running the gamut. For our deep dive this week, we are chatting about reading while sick. Mindy and Kaytee were both battling viruses this week of different kinds, so we talk about how illness effects our reading lives and the tips we have to keep reading while you’re not feeling 100 percent. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: we’ve got a brick of a biography and a collection of stories that will open your heart.

Mindfulness Meditation is often described with the image of a bird - one of the bird's wings is “presence/awareness” and the other wing is “heartfulness”. This heartfulness is the cultivation of compassion. It is both part of the practice itself and part of the outcome of the practice. Gregory Boyle defines compassion as “to be in awe of what someone has to carry, rather than to stand in judgment of how they carry it.”  Let's just pause for a moment and take that in… … … So. Powerful. And, what we know to be true is that real compassion cannot exist unless it begins with the Self. We can't run out and save the world when we are quietly ripping ourselves to shreds inside. We can't care for others when we are falling apart ourselves. So, let's talk compassion. Let's talk about how to practice it in tangible ways. Let's talk about what to do when what is going on inside is too intense to be with in any way, especially a kind way. Join me for today's episode of The Mindful Minute for a discussion and practice centered around compassion. Let's cultivate awe together.  Connect with me on Instagram {@merylarnett} to get bonus meditation tips, mini-meditations, and the occasional baby spam: https://www.instagram.com/merylarnett/  ***Did you know I have a FREE Meditation Starter Kit on my website merylarnett.com?

5 Books I Love, That You May Have Never Heard Of...  I love what Socrates said about reading and learning, “Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”  This is the heart of my passion for reading great books.  In this last episode of 2019, I provide 5 books from have shaped me, guidelines on how to read books, and links to some of these books that many haven't heard of...  Book #1: "Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith" by Dr. Marvin Wilson.  (Theological) Wonderful theological and challenging work to how you look at and study scripture. Although the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil, many Christians are regrettably uninformed about the rich Hebrew heritage of the church. This volume delineates the link between Judaism and Christianity, between the Old and the New Testament, and calls Christians to reexamine their Hebrew roots so as to effect a more authentically biblical lifestyle. Book #2: "Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews" by James Carroll.  (History) Carroll maps the profoundly troubling two-thousand-year course of the Church’s battle against Judaism and faces the crisis of faith it has provoked in his own life as a Catholic. More than a chronicle of religion, this dark history is the central tragedy of Western civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture. Book #3: "Silence" by Shusaku Endo.  (Historical Ficiton) Seventeenth-century Japan: Two Portuguese Jesuit priests travel to a country hostile to their religion, where feudal lords force the faithful to publicly renounce their beliefs. Eventually captured and forced to watch their Japanese Christian brothers lay down their lives for their faith, the priests bear witness to unimaginable cruelties that test their own beliefs.  Book #4: "Tatoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion" by Gregory Boyle.  Gregory Boyle has run Homeboy Industries, a gang-intervention program located in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, the gang capital of the world. In Tattoos on the Heart, he distills his experience working in the ghetto into a breathtaking series of parables inspired by faith.  Book #5: "Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer" by Richard Rohr.  This popular and bestselling book of the renowned Franciscan challenges people to move beyond the comfort of a settled life toward an understanding of themselves that is rooted in their connection to God. Only when they rest in God can they find the certainty and the freedom to become all that they can be. Contemplation has its place at the heart of Christianity, a place that allows people to experience how “everything belongs.”

In this episode we talk to Rebekah O'Dell. Rebekah is a middle school English teacher with a heart for issues of social justice and equality. Growing up, she thought she'd either be on Broadway or spend her life saving all the whales, but she accidentally fell in love with teaching. Rebekah sees herself as a "window builder," someone who exposes her students to issues of poverty, inequality, and injustice through young adult literature. Scottie needs someone to beer her some strength on a family vacation, Grace finds joy walking through IKEA without kids, and Laura recommends the book Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle.

This week we have a lighter contentious topic to hash out.  As the children have now gone back to school and the unofficial end of summer is just around the corner it's time to answer this most important question once and for all: Is fall the best or the worst?  Colleen joins her sister Ryann to debate the merits and drawbacks to this polarizing season.  Is autumn as amazing as everyone wants it to be?  Or is it an overrated garbage season?  We have some thoughts.   Also Mentioned in the Episode: Jamie B Golden of The Popcast Gang Leader for a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle

Becky Warnock returns for another episode of the Eden Gathering Podcast! The week she is talking about a book (who'da thought it?) called, Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle.

Midterms are over, Sessions has been fired, Trump has two months till the new House arrives. I’m on vacation and can’t respond to any of that. This week you’ll hear my April 2010 conversation with Father Gregory Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries. We’re joined by Luiz Perez, one of the senior staff at Homeboy. My guests and their work run absolutely counter to the kinds of prejudice and ugliness indulged in by the President.

He shares a thought about justice in a world where kinship among all people flourishes. Series: "Burke Lectureship on Religion and Society" [Humanities] [Show ID: 34035]

"There's a constant stream of grief in parenting." Some conversations are just always delicious and I have never not enjoyed speaking with Gillian Rowinski in the years that I have known her and we have stolen some time to connect. In this conversation, we take a quick-but-deep dive into some of the grief that comes with parenthood (spoiler alert: it's a lot) and, I know I say this a lot, but it's one of my favourite episodes thus far. A little more on Gillian: Gillian is a writer and the creator of Unlearning SuperMom.  She is also a certified coach, specializing in neuroscience and transforming consciousness and an HR professional, specializing in leadership development and change management.  When she isn't making all that impact professionally, she is also a wife and mother of three kids. I have long-loved her sense of humour and her generous way of showing up in the world. In the episode, I predictably can't remember the name of a great book I am recommending, it is Tattoos on the Heart - The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle, and Gillian mentions Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression by Johann Hari. And we would both invite you to continue this conversation over in the Grief: A Love Story group on Facebook; Gillian and I are both there, so I'm really not sure what would possibly keep you from joining us.

Stephen Carr is a man of faith, lifetime learner, maritime lawyer and avid sailor. He also happens to be my dear father and I am delighted to share my conversation with my dad. The release date of this podcast, April 30th, 2018 is his 88th birthday! Steve is my eldest guest and I marvel at his long, rich life as he shares childhood memories, family history, his 4 years in the seminary and decision to leave, his appreciation of his education, first at St. Michael’s College/ University of Toronto, then at Georgetown University Law School, before landing a job at the law firm of Haight, Gardener, Poor and Haven. Dad embraces his Irish roots, love of the Clancy Brothers and John O’Donohue as well as other writers who stimulate and nourish him: Thomas Merton, Richard Rohr, Ernest Hemingway, Gregory Boyle. After retiring from his law firm, Dad kept up 20 years of legal consultation, volunteered in prisons, and to this day, stays active with walking, biking, sailing and pickleball (and he credits his wife, Vivian for helping him stay young). I’ve always loved how easily my dad cries, he is touched deeply by tender moments in life, and lets the tears flow. I know I may be a bit biased, because he is my Dad, but I think you, too, will enjoy Steve’s thoughtful, funny, sentimental life reflections.

Gregory Boyle - Planning Futures, Not Funerals - 10/25/07 by westminsterforum

David Lux answers questions raised by confirmation students.

The Easter message is "Christ is Risen." Goodness is stronger than evil. Light shines in the darkness. David tells a story from Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle.

Home is not just the place we are most familiar with. It is the place where extravagant love is practiced. God is always ready to welcome us home. This series is inspired by the film The Way, by Emilio Estevez and starring Martin Sheen. David Lux mentions the book Tattoos on the Heart, by Fr. Gregory Boyle.

Fr. Gregory Boyle – best known as Fr. Greg by all who meet him -- was born in Los Angeles, one of eight children. After graduating from Loyola High School in Los Angeles in 1972, he decided to become a Jesuit and was ordained a priest in 1984. He received his BA in English from Gonzaga University; an MA in English from Loyola Marymount University; a Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology; and a Sacred Theology Masters degree from the Jesuit School of Theology. Prior to 1986 Fr. Boyle taught at Loyola High School and worked with Christian Base Communities in Cochabamba, Bolivia. He was appointed as Pastor of Dolores Mission in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1986 where he served through 1992. He then served as Chaplain of the Islas Marias Penal Colony in Mexico and Folsom Prison, before returning to Los Angeles and Dolores Mission. Homeboy Industries traces its roots to “Jobs For A Future” (JFF), a program created in 1988 by Fr. Greg at Dolores Mission parish. In an effort to address the escalating problems and unmet needs of gang-involved youth, Fr. Greg and the community developed positive alternatives, including establishing an elementary school, a day care program and finding legitimate employment for young people. JFF’s success demonstrated the model followed today that many gang members are eager to leave the dangerous and destructive life on the “streets.” In 2008 Father Greg celebrated the 20th Anniversary of this important work. Homeboy Industries, now located in downtown Los Angeles, is recognized as the largest gang intervention program in the county, and has become a national model.

Fr. Gregory Boyle recounts how God's love and grace is revealed through those society deems unworthy, former gang members, which he lovingly refers to as his "homies." Father Greg has been an advocate for at-risk and gang-involved youth in Los Angeles, and around the world. Born in Los Angeles as one of eight siblings, Fr. Greg entered the order of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and was ordained a priest in 1984. He was appointed as Pastor of Dolores Mission in Los Angeles in 1986 where he served through 1992. Following this, he spent time as Chaplain of the Islas Marias Penal Colony in Mexico and Folsom Prison, before returning to Los Angeles and Dolores Mission. He founded Homeboy Industries, an organization with the mission to create an environment that provides training, work experience, and above all, the opportunity for rival gang members to work side by side. Fr. Greg is also a consultant to youth service and governmental agencies, policy-makers and employers. Father Greg is also an author of the book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion.

Aired 04/11/10 Father Boyle has made a point of collecting and telling uniquely powerful stories of life and death, and his work has supplied him with more than anyone should know.He has so far buried 168 of his homies, and fills his first book TATTOOS ON THE HEART with their stories. I read it cover to cover on a plane flight Chicago to LA, and cried at least a dozen times. Boyle's compassion is boundless, his work is courageous, and his example is a profound challenge. Father GREGORY BOYLE was ordained a Jesuit priest in 1982. He received his Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology; and a Sacred Theology Masters degree from the Jesuit School of Theology. Since 1986, Father Gregory has been the pastor of Dolores Mission in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The church sits between two large public housing projects, Pico Gardens and Aliso Village, known for decades as the gang capital of the world. In 1988, Father Boyle began what would become Homeboy Industries, now located in downtown Los Angeles. His first book is TATTOOS ON THE HEART. http://www.homeboy-industries.org/
