Summary

This is our unabridged interview with Greg Boyle.  How do you become truly loving? Father Greg Boyle teaches us to go to the margins. “You don't go to the margins to make a difference. You go so the folks at the margins make you different.”  In the 80s and 90s, the city of Los Angeles was ravaged by what is now known as the "decade of death," a period of unprecedented gang violence, peaking at 1000 killings in 1992 alone. It was in the midst of this that Greg Boyle became pastor of the poorest Catholic parish in the city, in order to live and work amongst gang members.  He started Homeboy Industries, now the largest gang-member rehabilitation program in the world. In this episode, he tells some breathtaking stories, offering wisdom from a life lived in community with those who society neglects.  Notes Resources: "Cherished Belonging" by Greg Boyle "Tattoos on the Heart" by Greg Boyle "Barking to the Choir" by Greg Boyle Homeboy Industries  Similar NSE episodes:  John Dear: Taking the Beatitudes Seriously  Curt Thompson: The Power of Being Known  Pádraig Ó Tuama: The Facts of Life  Transcript JOIN NSE+ Today!

Are you curious about the hidden side of everything? Then I have a podcast for you. I'm Stephen Dubner, host of Free Economics Radio. Each week we hear from some of the most fascinating scholars and thinkers as we tackle big topics like how whales became the face of environmental activism, how to succeed at failing, and whether public

transportation should be free. Go ahead. Listen to Freakonomics Radio wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, friends. Annie F. Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to

0:35.8

begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to

0:38.0

invite you to read the Gospels with me every month.

0:41.0

That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

0:43.6

Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast is an invitation to slow down and spend

0:48.7

intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.

0:51.5

I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying

0:54.5

to read the whole Bible in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.

0:58.9

So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels? And it turns out I kept wanting to

1:04.3

read them over and over and it has changed my life. If you do three chapters a day for 30 days,

1:10.2

you get all four books read in a month,

1:12.1

and we've been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now. Every day

1:17.4

on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end with a prayer.

1:22.4

That's it. It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes of your day. Every month,

1:27.3

we read a different version of

1:29.0

the four Gospels and in different order. So you can scroll back and pick your favorite,

1:33.4

or you can just hit play on today's episode and listen along with the version we've chosen

1:37.7

for that month. I say it often because I believe it. You don't have to be in the Gospels

1:42.4

every day to be changed, but every day

1:45.0

you're in the Gospels will change you. Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast,
