Summary
Do you want to hear a priest speak from his heart? In this episode, Jeff shares the final homily of Fr. Mark Beard who recently passed after a tragic car accident. Although unaware that the end of his life was near, Fr. Beard’s homily was filled with truth and came straight from his heart. He encouraged his congregation to get off the fence and make a choice: God or not God.
