Desperation Isn’t a 4-Letter Word with Dr. Ken Fong


Listen Later

Ken Fong is joyful disruptor. He’s quick to disarm your defenses and invite you into relationship. In this episode, we dove fast and deep into the scary tension when faith becomes desperate, his journey as a courageous ally for LGBTQ folks, and using your"chips" for those who don't have them. His stories, laughter, and brutal honesty will guide you as you move from here to there, in whatever ways that looks like for your own journey.
 
About Rev. Dr. Ken Fong. He is a recently retired pastor, affiliate associate professor of Asian American Church Studies at Fuller Seminary, host and co-producer of "AsianAmerica: The Ken Fong Podcast"(www.aapodcast.com), and global photographer. For the past dozen years, he has evolved into a courageous straight ally for AAPI LGBTQ Christians, eventually making it possible for them to be beloved and active members of the church. Currently, Ken is finishing a doc film with director Christopher Wong about this journey. This film is living proof of how one can thrive by leaving the 'center' and moving to the fringes and margins.
