In today's podcast, Robert Aboites sits down with Amy Williams, author of Worth Seeing: Viewing Others Through God’s Eyes. With 30 years of experience serving youth involved in gangs, incarceration, probation, and parole, Amy shares her profound insights and leadership principles for working with urban youth on the margins of society.
Amy recounts the impactful story of a former gang member helped by Father Greg Boyle, founder of Homeboy Industries, who poignantly said, “I was used to being watched, but not seen.” This sentiment is echoed in her book and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of truly seeing and valuing each individual. Amy discusses her life as a youth worker in Chicago and offers practical advice for anyone dedicated to serving urban youth, guiding them out of darkness and into the light of the Gospel.
This episode is a must-listen for youth workers, educators, community leaders, and anyone passionate about making a difference in the lives of marginalized young people. Subscribe to our channel for more inspiring interviews and insights into effective leadership and youth development.
