They Call Him Mista Yu: Faith, Community, Character, And Purpose
Today, I sit down with Mista Yu, a man of many titles — podcast host, music minister, community builder, nonprofit director, and above all, a father and mentor. Our conversation goes into a 30,000-foot overview of his life: from surviving a near-death experience to discovering his personal relationship with God, and ultimately walking into his calling with purpose and integrity. We break down how that transformation wasn’t instant — it took years of internal rebuilding, spiritual guidance, and character development before he ever stepped into a leadership role. However, not everyone waits until they're ready to preach, or they don't always have a choice.
Mista Yu opens up about growing up without a father figure, the struggles of broken masculinity, and how he relied solely on God to model what fatherhood should look like. Despite the odds, he’s led his family with wisdom, written a book titled The Heart of the Stepfather, and is active in nonprofit work that serves young children. He discusses how the absence of a father shaped his worldview, and how it eventually led him to become the very model he never had — for his daughters, grandchildren, and even a great-grandchild.
We also explore Mista Yu's four different podcasts, each born from a different passion: the one-on-one interviews in One-on-One with Mista Yu, the raw encouragement from The Inspiration Station, the fellowship of The Men’s Round Table, and his newest project Big Blue Lifers, where he ties purpose and sports together. This episode is a powerful testimony to the strength that comes from spiritual surrender, community leadership, and divine timing. Mista Yu’s life proves that even when your past lacks structure, you can still build something unshakable with God at the center.
