“I like what Pope Francis said in ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ when he talked about preaching and likened it to family conversation; I try and imagine that I’m at a coffee shop talking to someone and I just have a conversation with them,” the Rev. Josh Whitfield says to Ricardo da Silva, S.J., on a new episode of “Preach.” “If I were to sit down with you and just talk about important stuff—share the Gospel with you—I would not lecture you. The homily is family talk.” Listen now on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/preaching-tips-from-a-catholic-priest-husband/id1320295636?i=1000618312938
