The Whole Person Revolution


Mar 5, 2024

Is it possible for peace to walk in power anymore? This is the question haunting Comment’s work this spring, and launching this new season of The Whole Person Revolution is someone who answers it with a courageous yes. J.S. “Joon” Park is a chaplain at Tampa General Hospital, whose public social media posts about death, grief, trauma, and loss have garnered a large following. When you read Joon’s words, you encounter someone who is no stranger to the things we naturally dread as human beings: the dark night of losing a loved one, of having to accept a complete lack of control, of having to face the inescapability of our own mortality. Joon carries a wisdom earned from the trenches of what he calls “grief-catching,” the act of standing present as someone is falling through the abyss of loss and pain. He joins Anne today on The Whole Person Revolution to share some of what he’s learned about the strange paradoxes of dying and human wholeness, violence and healing, doubt and faith.
