How do you navigate unexplained trials and unimaginable tragedy... while still trusting and following God?

Today we're joined by our friend Joe Oh, who is a Performance Coach, Speaker, and Educator for a very personal, vulnerable, and heartfelt conversation.

Join us for both tears and laughter as we dive deep into:

• How generational inheritance impacts us, both in good and challenging ways

• How God works through us and our families cross-generationally

• The raw reality of navigating pain and unexpected challenges

• Joe's honest and vulnerable account of dealing with panic attacks

• Joe's experience of walking through the heartbreak of miscarriage with his family

• What it means and looks like to "rejoice in trials"

• How to hold the tension between unanswered prayers and standing in faith

• And more...

It's not every day you see two grown Asian American men unpack their generational trauma.

Today, we're joined by John Chen, Founder & President at ABOUND Education and Life Coach, as he and Alex dive deep into a raw, vulnerable, and insightful conversation (and a mini impromptu LIVE coaching session) about their experiences, struggles, and lessons learned as Asian American sons of immigrant parents.

Join us as we unpack:

• John's powerful testimony of how God spoke to him about leaving his stable career in finance to start a college counseling business

• What has helped in healing generational trauma & breaking cycles of family pain

• The reality of navigating unresolved tensions with parents

• Discerning what season you're in & where God is leading you in your career (& life)

• How we can break down the barriers that block us from God's love

• The unique pressures & challenges faced by children of immigrant parents

• Insights on discerning God's wisdom & guidance in your personal & professional life

• And much more...

This week we're celebrating our 1-YEAR PODVERSARY!!! 🎉

It's hard to believe that a year's flown by since we first launched this podcast... since then, God's used this platform to impact literally thousands of people in ways we can't even see, support and amplify tons of incredible guests, and taught and stretched us SO MUCH along the way...

Today, we're taking y'all behind the scenes and sharing six of the BIGGEST, real + raw lessons that have shaped us in this journey of podcasting with God (including some real-time personal processing LOL #veryraw).

Whether you're feeling a tug to start a podcast or something new, or are just curious and wanting to learn and grow, we hope these lessons can shed insight into the lesser-seen side of podcasting and entrepreneurship... but also encourage and empower you in your own endeavors, too!

Thank you SO much for being here with us along this journey... We are immeasurably grateful for your encouragement, subscribes, shares, engagement, etc. - it all truly means SO MUCH more than you can know!! 🙂

When should we speak up, vs. just "let it go"? How do we love and honor both others AND ourselves well, even in the midst of conflict? How can we equip ourselves to navigate difficult conversations during the holidays?

Today, we sit down for a thought-provoking conversation with Kathy Khang, co-author of Loving Disagreement: Fighting for Community through the Fruit of the Spirit with Matt Mikalatos (recently named Book of the Year 2023 by The Englewood Review of Books).

Join Grace & Kathy as they dive into cultural & generational nuances that affect how we approach conflicts and resolution, specifically with their own personal experiences as Asian American Christian women (and why that matters).

We also explore how to live out the fruits of the Spirit amidst conflict, practical wisdom and tips on how to love and honor others amidst disagreement (for those who need a survival guide for challenging family dynamics - especially during the holidays!), and learning to embrace the messy journey along the way.

Are there things that seem to keep bothering you… like repeated mental patterns, trigger points, fears, anxieties, or insecurities that continue to hold you back from living out a place of FREEDOM?

In this episode, we sit down for an in-depth and vulnerable conversation with our good friend, Bonnie Kim, M.Ed., Founder of Royal Telos Coaching and Spirit-led certified life coach, on how to overcome generational wounds and set relational boundaries to stay healthy.

We pray that our personal stories of struggles and healing, along with practical keys and tips, ultimately help you step further into the powerful healing, freedom, authenticity, and deep peace that God desires for you. 🤍

A personal reflection for AAPI Heritage Month & Mental Health Awareness Month (from Alex and his own journey) ✨

We pray that - no matter your background, heritage, or personal experiences - you're reminded today that ALL of it matters.

And if you ever feel called to a table where there is no seat... pray and inquire of the Lord.

Perhaps he could be inviting you to create and prepare a seat for others like you. 🤍
