The Substance

176: Authenticity, Embracing Doubt, and Championing Inclusivity feat. Rev. Joseph Yoo


Listen Later

Sorry for the publishing delay! And yes, we know it says Tuesday on the intro, etc. It was a holiday weekend and things have been busy. But here we are with a new show and a WONDERFUL conversation with Episcopal priest and author, Reverend Joseph Yoo.


Joseph has grown his online platform over the years on an authenticity and decency that feels so refreshing amidst so many spiritual and religious leaders taking advantage of people or sharing a message absent of love. It's also refreshing that he's not seeking to be a "content creator" but rather just trying to share insights and thoughts with folks in order to encourage them or to help himself work things out by saying them out loud and seeing what others think.


During our conversation we cover:

  • His thoughts on the Star Wars prequels
  • His love of professional wrestling
  • His childhood goal of becoming a season ticket holder for a local team
  • The spiritual journey that lead him to becoming an Episcopal priest and planting a church in a denomination that he was new to
  • Why doubt is an essential part of the faithful life
  • How seminary helped him become affirming
  • And more!
