If you are longing to enter more fully into the uniquely bold and joyful power of transformation, don’t miss this interview with Father Greg Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries. During this conversation with Bishop Easterling, he shares his wisdom from 30 years working – heart and soul –  in a community in Los Angeles that was the poorest neighborhood in the diocese which had two different pain points. At first it was primarily a community of people who were immigrants and migrants and ten years later experienced the highest concentration of gang activity . In their conversation, he shares his spiritual strategies, the importance of rolling up our sleeves to work alongside the afflicted in society’s margins, and how churches can better invite people into lives in fullness and abundance.
