The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast) Meet My Friends: Fr. Josh Johnson
I’m speaking with Fr. Josh Johnson, pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Fr. Josh has a new book out, Broken and Blessed, about how we are broken and our Church is broken, but that the mercy and blessings of God surpasses all our failings.
We discuss the theme of brokenness: how to respond to it in others, what to do about it in the Church, and what God thinks of us when we fall.
If you know someone struggling with brokenness, I highly recommend Fr. Josh’s book—you can get it at ascensionpress.com
Snippet from the Show
There was a priest in my diocese that I did not like … but one day I needed the sacrament of reconciliation … and in my 31 years of life the best confession I’ve ever experienced is with this priest. -Fr. Josh Johnson
