Jesuit priest, founder of Homeboy Industries.

And he's taken tens of thousands of gang members, you know, out of prison and off the streets into, for lack of a better word, rehabilitation. But that's a gross word. In Cherished Belonging, he just talks about God and just really rethinking God. And he said, God is there when you're kind. God is there when you're tender. God doesn't have time to be judging you. God is too busy adoring you.

God is spending all of his, her, its time in wonder and adoration every single last one of us. There's no time on God's calendar to be judgmental or disapproving or, you know, moralistic or anything like that. We're unrepeatable miracles of the universe. And God looks at us with the adoration that we look at if you have a child of a toddler, you know, taking his first steps.

And it's been so beautiful for me to just read this and be reminded of that idea of the divine, that there's not a disapproving, sky daddy, patriarchal, bearded, mean guy in the sky who's like Santa Claus checking off who's naughty and nice. But there is just this force that loves us, beyond all measure and is there for us at any second in time. It's just there. It's absolutely there.

So I think getting right with God is less about any kind of like accounting. You know, get right with yourself. Get right with your own heart. Get right with your own conscience, you know. Get right with your resentments and your remorse. Clean your side of the street. But to get right with God is to just tune in that God is just, wants to just give everyone gigantic hugs all the time.

That's such an important question. I truly believe that's one of the top three most important questions that anyone working in this space can be asking. because of the mental health epidemic, and especially with young people, there is a disconnect between pain and suffering and life and resilience.
