There is a lot of awareness going around regarding "Minority experience in America". However, the term minority seems to almost exclusively be reserved for Black Americans in the conversations of race relations. In this episode, we are joined by Pastor Eric So and Planting Pastor Resident, Danny Chung - two 2nd Gen Korean Americans who offer their perspective on what it is like to be on the fringe of the conversation of minorities and how the Black Lives Matter movement requires a deeper conversation with parents and family members who owned shops in black neighborhoods.

Did you grow up in church? We did. And probably one of the biggest truths you can learn from such a life is this - being in church doesn't make you a Christian. Brandon and Daren share what it was like to be raised in church while being adverse to it. Oh, and we brought some family along with us. Our sister Christine, cousin Jackie and our friend of more than 20 yrs Kenny.

How can we not talk about the issue with policing in America? The conversation is a much-needed one but is the direction of the conversation helpful? Are we on target with highlighting the typical high-level, convoluted conversation of "racism"? Or is the conversation surrounding policing in America something that transcends ethnicity? Brandon and Daren bring their experience with police along with their thoughts. - and of course....some facts while continuing a much-needed dialogue.

Tragedies are piling up. Humanity seems like it is at its breaking point with the center of the tragedies being a very familiar group...black americans.
