But after finding himself at the center of two major studio controversies — and a public feud with Zachary Levi over their crossover potential within the all-but defunct DC Extended Universe — the megastar appeared to be falling from grace. Drawing on his years of lecturing on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, he reveals Step 10 as the natural culmination of working the previous Steps.

Joseph discovered the infectious sound of the Hammond organ during his early twenties with Wes Montgomery’s Portrait of Wes.It is a profound and valuable meditation on defect removal; in my experience, my capacity to generate personal defects is boundless, so mediation on their removal is never-ending. A thorough inventory reveals those causes and conditions; the Fifth Step allows us to share them with God and another human being, and so remove the inner pain they have caused in our past lives. After years of performing with a variety of organ groups, Joseph decided that it was time to get his own ensemble together.

Please help me find a way to remove those character defects in my life, both the ones I’m currently aware of and those that I may gain awareness of later. I have to give up the fear of being comfortable in my own chaos and the unknown of not living the chaotic life. If I believe in God and believe God made me perfect in mind, body and spirit than I have to accept who I am. The first time I read Step Six, I thought it meant I had to arrive at some angelic state of mind in which I would become—and forever remain— entirely ready to have God remove all my defects. Those on board were cheering for her and applauding and telling her how great she was, and how it was so good having her with them again, and how now they could get on with the boat ride and have a nice time.The Sixth Step of Alcoholics Anonymous is an excellent example of that point and is often seen as THE Step that separates the men from the boys (or the women from the girls).
