Summary
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
