Matt Menzel Interviews Father Justin Huang on the Joys and Sacrifices of Joining the Priesthood, Communing Deeper With Jesus, and the Power of Confession

Canadian Church Leaders Podcast

Father Justin Huang grew up in Richmond, British Columbia, the third of three brothers. Though not raised Catholic, he started going to Mass when he was 13. After a powerful experience of God’s love through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, he felt called to the Holy priesthood at the age of 16. He is the appointed pastor of St. Anthony of Padua, Vancouver.

Matt Menzel is the Lead Pastor of Westside Church in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. He and his wife Melissa are passionate about calling and equipping Jesus' people to 'Make Him Known' through the ordinary, Spirit-empowered rhythms of following Jesus in everyday life. They're thrilled and beyond blessed to be part of what Jesus' Spirit is doing in the city.

In their conversation, they discuss the reality of not seeing eye to eye on everything and the challenges of working alongside those in the church you disagree with, especially theologically. However, they express their unity in Christ and friendship that makes for meaningful and thoughtful discussion where they can learn from each other every time they connect.
