Yoki’s Journey of Faith and Calling]]>Contact via email at konkotalk@gmail.com

Episode Summary:

In this heartfelt episode of Konko Talk, we welcome Rev. Yoki Sekiguchi, the newly appointed Head Minister of the Konko Mission of Hilo. Rev. Yoki shares his inspiring and humble journey—from arriving in Hawaii as a young man without a driver’s license, to discovering Konko Faith through the guidance of Rev. Kunito, to his unexpected path to ministry and leadership in Hilo.

The hosts—Koichi, Edna, and Aimee—dive into conversations about reconnecting with family, overcoming hardship, the power of Toritsugi Mediation, and practicing gratitude in daily life. Rev. Yoki reflects on how his faith deepened, how blessings flowed even in times of uncertainty, and how his brother’s transformation also came through spiritual awakening.

Together, they discuss the meaning of serving Kami-sama, how humility shapes leadership, and the unique legacy of Hilo Church. Rev. Yoki’s sincerity and vulnerability shine through in every moment of this episode, reminding us that through faith, even the most unexpected roads can lead to profound purpose.

Koichi Konko, and Rev. Edna welcome Rev. Arei Shirakami from the Konko Church of Rijō in Hiroshima. As a second-generation hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor descendant), Rev. Shirakami shares deeply personal reflections rooted in her family history.Her grandfather, Rev. Morimaro Kubota, former head minister of Konko Church of Rijō, miraculously survived the Hiroshima atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, despite being only 800 meters from the hypocenter. Through her grandfather’s handwritten accounts and her own experiences, Rev. Shirakami discusses the horrors of that day, the long-term effects on survivors, and the enduring responsibility to preserve these stories.The conversation touches on:* Survivor testimonies and the devastating aftermath of Hiroshima.* The role of children and youth during wartime, many of whom perished.* Discrimination faced by hibakusha and their descendants.* The importance of peace education and remembering the past to prevent repetition.* Rev. Shirakami’s volunteer work at Hiroshima Peace Memorial, ensuring that cenotaphs and memorial stones “speak” through guides who share their stories.* Broader reflections on nuclear testing, global peace, and the Konkokyo teaching that “All people are children of Kami.”As the world marks 80 years since the end of WWII, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of remembrance, prayer, and working together for peace.Konko Talkhttps://anchor.fm/koichi-konkoSpotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/42I6y7UNEeIL9Q908XpMciGoogle Podcastshttps://www.google.com/podcastsfeed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80Njg5NWRmMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==Breakerhttps://www.breaker.audio/konko-talkPocket Casthttps://pca.st/z6s2a3apRadio Publichttps://radiopublic.com/konko-talk-G145rMhttps://anchor.fm/koichi-konko/episodes/Konko-Talk-11-Food-e1j8cdcKonko Mission of Honolulu1728 Liliha Street, Honolulu, HI 96817Open Everyday from 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.Morning Prayer Session at 5:30 a.m. (Japanese)Morning Prayer Session at 7:30 a.m. (English)Evening Prayer Session at 7:30 p.m. (Japanese) Sunday Service at 9:00 a.m. (English)Homepagehttp://konkomissionshawaii.org/honolulu.htmFacebook https://www.facebook.com/Ikigami.Konko.DaijinYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLHLi5IOOq3w7QLcyhCTezgKonko Mission of Wahiawa207 Muliwai Avenue, Wahiawa, HI 96786Phone: (808) 621-6667 (Urgent prayer requests also accepted)Prayer Requests via text: Rev.

In this episode, your host Koichi Konko, accompanied by Amy and Edna, explores the significant topic of why people attend church, with a special focus on the unique aspects of attending Konko Church. Throughout the program, the discussion uncovers personal motivations and the profound impacts of regular church attendance. From finding a sense of community to seeking spiritual guidance, the reasons are many and varied. The episode also highlights the distinctive benefits of attending Konko Church, such as spiritual growth, community support, and personal development, backed by heartfelt testimonials from members of the church. The conversation also delves into the functional role of Konko Church in individuals' lives, discussing how it serves as a sanctuary during both celebrations and times of mourning, and how it supports daily spiritual and practical life guidance. As we wrap up, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own reasons for church attendance or to consider visiting if they haven’t already. It's an exploration that promises to deepen understanding and perhaps inspire a visit to Konko Church.
