​​Father Greg Boyle is becoming a mystic with the help of former gang members

If you attended a Jesuit university or high school in the last
decade, you were most likely at some point assigned Father Greg
Boyle’s first book (and a New York Times best-seller—so, you didn’t
need to have attended a Jesuit school to encounter it) Tattoos on
the Heart. Father Boyle is a Jesuit priest, the founder of Homeboy
Industries and the author of the a new book, The Whole Language:
The Power of Extravagant Tenderness, which is scheduled to be
released this fall. Ashley and Zac talk to Father Boyle about how
Covid and the pandemic restrictions affected his sense of identity
and Homeboy Industries’ work, what he’s learned looking back on his
years in ministry, and why he is becoming more mystical as he gets
older. To support Jesuitical and access all of America's content,
