Today we’re joined by Joe Young. Born and raised in northern California, he decided to become a professional musician at the age of 15. Four years later, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in jazz guitar, and at 22 began playing in bands and touring.
Joe was born into the Unification movement and returned after years of being distant at the age of 24. He joined the national music ministry, where his passion shifted from playing guitar to writing songs.
Almost a decade later, Joe and his wife began pastoring the local Unification Church in South Florida. What they planned to be a one-year commitment turned into five. During that time, Joe had many insights, including a newfound love and spiritual connection to Jesus. Joe’s passion shifted yet again to ministry, preaching, and worship music.
Joe is working on a new endeavor of teaching the Bible and the Divine Principle online called The Living Room Ministry.
