Nomad Podcast

Fr. Greg Boyle is a Jesuit priest, who in 1986 was appointed pastor of a church in one of the most deprived areas of Los Angeles, in a church that sat between two large public housing projects, which had the highest concentration of gangs in the country.  Amidst shocking levels of violence and murder (Greg himself buried some 229 young men), Greg slowly began to make connections with the gang members, and eventually established the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world.  Needless to say, our conversation is overflowing with wisdom and challenge as Greg talks about the God he discovered on the margins. Interview starts at 16m 12s If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter.
