Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today, we're privileged to sit down with Reverend Roger Joslin, a man whose life journey reads like a rich tapestry of experiences and insights. From his roots in rural Texas, where the values of community and hard work were ingrained in him, to the vibrant and tumultuous Summer of Love in 1969 California, Reverend Joslin's story is one of constant exploration and discovery.
We'll talk about his formative years at the University of Texas at Austin and his quest across America, seeking purpose and understanding. He'll share tales from his days as a furniture maker, a craft that not only sustained him but also grounded him before he answered a higher calling.
Reverend Joslin then takes us to Bentonville, Arkansas, where he started a church and engaged with the local community, including Walmart, to advocate for better wages and working conditions. His journey eventually led him to the North Fork, where he now serves at the Church of the Redeemer in Mattituck and Holy Trinity Church in Greenport.
In this conversation, we delve into the moments that shaped him, the challenges he faced, and the joys he found along the way. It's a story of faith, resilience, and the enduring quest for a meaningful life. Join us as we uncover the remarkable life of Reverend Roger Joslin.
