Episode 47: EXCLUSIVE: Gabriel Lopez - How To Be God's Best Friend, Social Media Ministry, Divine Creativity

Today we sit down with our favorite Christian comedy creator: Gabriel Lopez! Known as @gods.best.friend with over 350,000 followers on social media, what led Gabriel to start this social media ministry and write his book (God's Best Friend: The Adventures of an Ordinary Man and an Extraordinary God) was far from what he had ever willed or expected.

Join us as we dive into his personal journey of the unimaginable loss and grief that led him to where he is today... including POWERFUL testimonies that will ignite your faith and expand your perspective.

We also talk about what it looks like to invite God into the creative process, how to not be weighed down by pressure to "top yourself," and encouragement and wisdom for those of you who feel a tug to start a new endeavor or create with God!

Episode 43: EXCLUSIVE: Ben Chung (Jabbawockeez, Kinjaz) on Purpose in Pain, Dance & Faith, God's Timing

Ben Chung has been a member of the world-famous dance crew the Jabbawockeez, (who rose to fame for winning the first season of ABDC) and later went on to co-found Kinjaz—both of which have become two of the biggest influences and leading innovators in the modern dance world.

He’s a dancer, podcaster, entrepreneur, and more… but more than all that, he’s a follower of Jesus who’s unafraid to use his real and raw stories and lessons learned to inspire others.

We pray it leaves you encouraged to see God’s purpose in your own story—no matter how unconventional, messy, or non-linear it may seem—and to not be held back by fear, but to boldly GO for the dreams and passions God’s leading you towards!

Episode 37: How To Disagree With Love & Survive Difficult Family Gatherings with Kathy Khang, Co-Author of “Loving Disagreement”

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.

Episode 10: For The Person With A Complicated Relationship With Their Dad

We want to specifically dedicate this (very vulnerable) episode to those of you who have a complicated relationship with your dad.

In many cultures especially (such as ours as Asian Americans), it’s normal to feel unsure and ill-equipped to navigate the confusing and complex “love-hate” tensions we often feel with our parents... especially our dads. (Ever wonder why the term “daddy issues” exists?)

But it makes it that much harder, too, when your social media feed gets flooded with "I love you, Dad!" posts on Father's Day.

So, if you have a complicated relationship with your dad...

This one’s for you.

We hope that this very REAL and raw conversation brings you comfort - so you know that you are not alone.

We pray that this encourages and helps you to be able to better see your dad through Jesus’ eyes - and to love your dad with Jesus’ love for each and every one of us. ❤️
